This virtually writes itself provided that our readers already know the caliber of lawyer Donald Trump is ready to appeal to today, however that doesn’t make it any much less absurd.
The circus continues as Donald Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba advised Newsmax that New York Lawyer Common Letitia James isn’t very brilliant, a declare she primarily based on having “seen their case.”
This decide already discovered Donald Trump and his grownup sons answerable for fraud. The decide is deciding how a lot restitution is due and considering even taking away his New York enterprise license.
Watch right here:
Donald’s lawyer, Alina Habba, went after New York Lawyer Common Letitia James yesterday saying she’s “simply not that brilliant.”
Habba, in a Newsmax interview on Monday, mentioned “She’s simply not that brilliant. I’m sorry, I’ve to say it. I’ve seen their case, I’ve seen their… pic.twitter.com/EjMay4JB8C

It must be famous that Habba filed a lawsuit in opposition to Mary Trump {that a} decide dismissed, saying it “fail(ed) as a matter of constitutional regulation.” She is, maybe, not that brilliant as a lawyer.
However the level of her present on Newsmax is to offer Trump’s supporters with their obligatory doses of deal with the entire humiliation and embarrassment going through the previous president every day. So Habba doesn’t have to make sense, she doesn’t have to be proper, she doesn’t even have to have a degree.
She does, nonetheless, win bonus factors amongst Trump’s crowd for attacking a Black lady. So that’s all they want. Achieved and dusted.
Again right here in actuality land, although, it’s trying a lot totally different.
Yesterday, the Choose threatened to chop Trump’s testimony quick after he behaved like a deranged toddler on a sugar excessive making an attempt to seize extra sweet on the checkout counter.
Choose Arthur Engoron “is weighing whether or not to impose lots of of thousands and thousands of {dollars} in fines and different penalties that might hobble the true property empire that vaulted Trump to prominence,” as Reuters put it. So, sort of rather a lot on the road right here.
Trump behaved so badly as he careened between bragging about himself and taking part in the persecuted sufferer that the decide demanded of one in every of his legal professionals, “Are you able to management your consumer? This isn’t a political rally. This can be a courtroom.”
Trump handled the courtroom like he has handled his whole life: a stage for him to whine and cry and threaten and demand. A spot to air out his Id.
Bloomberg reported:
Trump ignored the directions. The temper within the room grew tense, and the lawyer common’s lawyer, Kevin Wallace, grew visibly pissed off. Engoron at one level urged Kise take a while to talk along with his consumer privately about tips on how to conduct himself on the stand. The lawyer balked.
“The previous and soon-to-be chief govt of the USA understands the principles,” Kise insisted.
“However he doesn’t abide by them,” the decide shot again.
Then there was the second when Trump tried to deflect a query by saying he had been too busy as president to know the reply. The one downside? He had already misplaced the 2020 election and in 2021, was solely president for 20 days, plus a failed revolt.
Requested about whether or not he was concerned within the 2021 valuations of his properties, Trump defended himself by telling prosecutor Kevin Wallace, “I used to be so busy within the White Home. My threshold was China, Russia, and retaining our nation secure.”
Wallace adopted up by asking, “Simply to make clear, you weren’t president in 2021, appropriate?” to which Trump replied, “No, I wasn’t.”
Choose Engoron additionally advised Habba, “I’m not right here to listen to what he has to say. I’m right here to listen to him reply questions.” When Habba challenged him, he advised her to, “Sit down already.”
So that’s what actually occurred yesterday.
It gained’t shock you that Alina Habba has been accused in a lawsuit of calling an affiliate a “Black b*tch” – a phrase she reportedly repeated about Letitia James, and it additionally gained’t shock you to listen to that she has been accused of utilizing the N phrase.
Having established all of that, it gained’t shock you that the media is saying how GREAT that is for Trump’s marketing campaign. The Clickbait King is coming again to them! They’re overjoyed.
However they’re additionally making an odd calculation. Whereas Trump taking part in the persecuted for his base does amp them up, additionally it is a indisputable fact that he has misplaced seen help right here in Trump nation within the final 6 months. Individuals who had their Trump 2016 and Trump 2020 indicators up for years have quietly taken them down. Not all, after all. Trump supporters roll their eyes and chuckle when requested about him now. Will they prove to vote for him? Probably.
However then, Trump already misplaced 2020. What Trump most wants is to GAIN new supporters and for his present supporters to have extra enthusiasm than they did in 2020 or for Democrats to not present up like they did in 2020.
Being uncovered as a fraud and being humiliated whereas whining and crying in public will not be truly serving to Trump win new help. However it’s a nice preview of what to anticipate if everybody stays residence in 2024 after turning into complacent as a result of 4 years of a reliable president.
Look, you’ll be able to have this raging toddler answerable for the nukes as WWIII threatens!
