Donald Trump has insane meltdown about getting a trophy as his New York civil fraud trial falls apart for him
Just how poorly is the New York civil fraud trial going for Donald Trump? His former CFO Allen Weisselberg tried to remain loyal to him on the stand this week, but Weisselberg ended up incriminating himself and Trump in the process. This leaves Trump with no defense at all, which is probably why he’s now yelling around about getting a trophy. No really.
Trump falsified the value of his existing assets in order to trick banks into loaning him more money, which is a crime. But he’s now arguing on social media that he couldn’t have possibly committed fraud because one bank gave him a trophy for being such a great customer:
“This Trophy was given to me by Deutsche Bank because they were so proud of the Loan they made. They had the best Lawyers, the smartest Loan Officers, and were thrilled to do business with “TRUMP.”
This is somehow really happening. Donald Trump is now attempting to invoke the rarely used ‘but they gave me a trophy’ defense. It’s what happens when even your semi-reputable lawyers have quit, and your defense strategy consists of whining very loudly about how badly you’re losing.
