A week into his bank fraud trial, Donald Trump late Thursday night dropped his oddly aggressive lawsuit against the judge overseeing the case—a move that had been seen as a last-minute scramble to avert a potential unraveling of the tycoon’s real estate empire.
But that happened anyway when Justice Arthur F. Engoron concluded the former president was a serial liar who faked the size of his buildings and value of his properties for years, ordering the family business’ licenses to be revoked.
Well, he expected to lose, and then leverage grievances from that into more safe grifting. Instead he was forced into a job he didn’t want, half-assed it, but managed to get himself into trouble.
But he found out “Presidents are above the law” so it turned into a pretty good gig for him as a serial criminal. Emoluments be damned. But he kept criming because he’s never faced consequences ever, and crimed to hide other crimes.
You’re right, though. That Jenga tower is seriously wobbling.
That’s such a succinct summation of his presidency.
IIRC he wanted to start Trump TV or something like that so it was a publicity stunt to start with. Problem was the dog caught the car.
