The lawyer wrote in a filing he could “no longer effectively and properly represent” Trump because of “irreconcilable differences.”

A lawyer can just ignore those requests from him. At that point, he could fire them but he's going to have to justify it with the judge. Eventually the judge will stop letting him fire lawyers just to get on with the case.

maybe give him 60 days to get a lawyer, or one will be appointed to him; if he finds one who later quits, it will be back to a court-appointed one, be he/she the original court-appointed one, or a new one with 72 hours to prepare, 3 hours if this occurs more than 10x.
