Donald Trump publicly bashes his lawyer for giving him bad trial advice
When it comes to a malignant narcissist like Donald Trump, it’s easy to figure out when he’s losing and he knows it: just look to see if he’s throwing the people around him under the bus. Now that Trump is at a stage where the rest of his life is going to consist of losing at trial, he’s already throwing his trial lawyers under the bus accordingly.
Trump went on a social media bender about E. Jean Carroll, who took him to trial and won. Trump is falsely claiming he was found “not guilty,” which is surreal given that 1) civil trials don’t have guilty or not guilty verdicts, and 2) Trump was found liable for $5 million in that trial. But the telling part is at the end of Trump’s rant.
Trump claims that “I was asked by my lawyer not to attend” the trial, and it “was not good legal advice.” In other words Trump is blaming his attorney for the fact that he lost. In reality Trump showed up at the very beginning of the trial, but couldn’t take the heat and failed to keep attending.
So there you have it. Trump has begun losing trials, and he’s bashing his attorneys as a result. He’ll do the same once he loses his New York civil fraud trial, and he’ll do the same once he loses his criminal trials. It’s a wonder why anyone would want to be his attorney. Of course once he loses his criminal trials he’ll be in prison, so the only people around to listen to him whine about his lawyers will be the prison guards.
