I had read Trump posted and deleted a rant on witnesses just yesterday or over the weekend. Maybe that was false or I misread older news.
Edit: looks like I saw an older post. Trump has moved on to having his pawns do the lies for him.
This latest stunt of having a rotating set of bootlicking douche canoes attend court with him then talk shit in the media is pathetic and disgusting.
It's also essentially a job interview for future cabinet positions should Trump be re-elected.
It's funny because his lawyers are in court right now arguing that Michael Cohen did not act on Trump's behalf. Meanwhile, there's a parade of losers outside clearly acting on Trump's behalf.
The defense lawyers don't really have a coherent argument, but part of their strategy is to pretend Michael Cohen used his own home equity loan to pay off Stormy Daniels for no reason. As if that's totally normal. We've all (at some point) acted in Donald Trump's best interest, not at his direction, right?
That's the thing that cracks me up. They've got to convince the jury that there are just rogue lawyers out there taking out home equity loans to protect their clients without discussing it with their clients. Like it's just a completely normal thing to do.
Maybe Trump's current team of lawyers will make their closing arguments and be like "and it turns out that during this trial, the entire defense team has mortgaged their houses to keep this trial going, all unbeknownst to our client. The defense rests."
Yea it is pathetic and disrespectful to his supporters. Trumps says he'll trade jail for free speech, then immediately has his booklicking douche canoes come and do the speaking, so Trump can avoid jail. Imagine how little self respect you have to have to see this and think "Yea, trumps my guy".
