Donald Trump’s weakest link in all this
If one were watching, one could be forgiven for thinking they were viewing a parody. For that was what it appeared to be. The Trump court hearing was over, and Trump’s — lawyers? – were doing a press conference.
At least that is what SOME call it. I prefer to think of it as a view of how they will conduct themselves. And boy, oh boy, was it a grade F failure. First of all, their outward appearance was awful. They all milled around, sometimes talking over each other, often speaking in bombastic terms and basically auditioning for the remake of “My cousin Vinny”
Then there was what they SAID — or what they didn’t. The trump lawyers could not seem to admit their wayward client had made threats online. They hemmed and hawed and denied, and the whole thing was just awful.
But the best was yet to come. After being asked about the Truth Social posting with Trump holding a bat behind Alvin Bragg, one of Trump’s lawyers cane up with an answer that was just too much to believe.
It was an AMERICAN bat, he insisted. Trump was showing off a made in America baseball bat. This explanation made about as much sense as Matt Gaetz’s hair.
So – what does this mean exactly? Has Trump signed on to a made in America campaign? Is he encouraging others to buy this American bat? The answer was so stupid it was almost unforgivable. It is at times like these I wonder about the qualifications for becoming a lawyer. In any event — meet Donald Trump’s legal team, who seem to be as incompetent and insane as he is.
