“Any lawyer who takes a TRUMP CASE is either ‘CRAZY,’ or a TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT,” Trump wrote
Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced on social media he’s searching for a new law firm to represent him in an appeal against last week’s jury verdict awarding $83.3 million to writer E. Jean Carroll.
He left a message to prospective hires in the Truth Social post, writing: “Any lawyer who takes a TRUMP CASE is either ‘CRAZY,’ or a TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT.” The former president’s announcement follows his vow to appeal the jury’s decision last Friday, predicated by the presiding federal judge’s September ruling finding him liable for defamation.

It’s not often Trump writes something I agree with, but I have to admit, they are certainly one of those two things.
Yeah but he screwed up the quotes again. Should be:
Any lawyer who takes a TRUMP CASE is either CRAZY, or a ‘TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT’
*and* a
*at least * one

Likewise, but don’t get complacent. The threat isn’t over yet.

It just has to get through the Supreme Court, not overturning a fundamental building block of the entire US justice system. Or more likely, stating that the reward “was too much.”
And 3 of them seem to be on his side hell or high water; with a fourth being apparently really quite cheap to buy the loyalty of.
It’s still a very real and persistent threat. Recent polls put him dangerously close, and he did alarmingly well in 2020.
Do not get complacent. We can win, but it is certainly not guaranteed. Stay active, and even contribute (time, money, etc) if possible.

And the “vote third party” trolls are out in way more force than they were in 2020 for whatever reason. It already feels worse than peak 2016. I really hope people are inoculated to this shit by now, but I’m not super confident.
I’m almost convinced we’re seeing a targeted misinfo campaign coming from some .ml and Lemmygrad users. The brainworms are severe.
There is absolutely no question about this. These users are repeating right wing talking points almost verbatim and these “leftist” spaces protect them by removing anything which challenges their nonsense. We have literally seen this play out once already.

Calling something a “Trump case” should become an informal description among lawyers for a hopeless defense of an idiot loudmouth client.
Funny how “Trump card”, having been a been used as something that is a sure absolute win, will turn into the exact opposite. I see people saying it throughout media of the last 30 years. Kids that watch that old stuff in the future will have no fucking idea why they would say that.
Trump Card is going to end up being all the incriminating evidence you left behind.
Bill Clinton left a Trump card all over that dress… :-P
Slick Willy strikes again.
Why is this the second Monical Lewinsky joke I’ve seen on Lemmy today? Did I fall into a time warp?
Happens whenever we’re closeish to an election.
Its like a corrolary of that Godwin’s law. Midway, Monica Lewinsky or something lol
Yes, it is ahem the “lawyer’s fault”, right…
"I can say the person I raped is not my type and didn’t rape. The only reason I gotta pay 83 million is because I got fucked by my lawyer! - trump
Ofc not, he prefers
his daughteryounger girls.
Any lawyer who takes a TRUMP CASE is either ‘CRAZY,’ or a TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT," Trump wrote
Oh boy, I know the answer to this one!
It’s New York, he has to post the 83M before he can appeal in a civil case. They don’t let deadbeats waste their court time.
So glad there’s finally stakes for this fucker and also its unfalsifiable. They gettin’ paid no matter wat
You mean the man with a reputation for not paying his lawyers is having trouble finding competent legal council?
I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
I hope not that shocked though:-)
Trump is being told repeatedly that shutting up is free, and yet he still keeps flapping his jaws.
🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
So a loser wants to hire another loser after their last loser lost.
I’m sure all the best lawyers are on truth social
That’s the funniest part of all this. I heard his lawyer talk once, and I could instantly tell she was chosen because she was MAGA, not on legal merits.
Literally the best he can get now are all on truth social lmao
That and Trump probably liked looking at her butt.

“… and it appears that a better lawyer is worth at least seventy eight million dollars” - LegalEagle is not impressed with this representation!
Looks like someone won’t be able to afford another RGB laptop.
😂🤣😬🤣💀
TIL “true American patriot” is the legal hiring term for “must be passionate about your job” and “we’re all a family here”.
