“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.

    What is their motive for doing so? Having anyone other than Biden winning is a loss to all left leaning agendas nationwide, including theirs.

    (And yes I know Biden isn’t very leftist himself, he’s practically a Republican in my mind but he’s the only thing keeping the country from further regressing into an ultraconservative pit of despair.)

      Russia… Their campaign interference has been targeted to rile up both the far right and the far left. And of course the beauty–if you can call it that–of all their psyops bullshit is that it convinces real people to push these talking points and carry on the momentum organically.

      By very wary of any so-called leftists who are so dogmatic they refuse to understand that plugging your nose and voting for Biden is the option to prevent a terrifying loss to the progressive agenda. They are either accelerationists like the other poster said or are spouting Russian talking points (regardless of if they’re a real person or not.)
