Depends on which voice in his head he’s listening to at the moment. IMO it’s more than a few.
It's a good thing....when he's in office.
It's a bad thing.....when someone else is in office.
Grifters gonna grift.
You will NEVER see this on Fox “ News”
Herein lies the problem. By all accounts his lawyer in his E. Jean Carroll case was a complete joke who had absolutely no idea what she was doing. Made procedural error after procedural error, declined to object to the submission of evidence against her client over and over then complained when that evidence was allowed to be submitted. Missed deadlines, just complete amateur stuff.
And then after the trial she just trots out in front of the camera and goes on a tirade against the justice system and how it's been corrupted by Joe Biden and the demonrats. Her job was never to defend Trump in trial, it was to defend him on camera for Fox News. She's very attractive if you hadn't already figured that out btw.
She shared an article from a right wing Trump outfit saying she should be Attorney General appointed by Trump after he wins
Apparently pretty is more important to Donald than expertise. It’s not like he couldn’t afford the BEST lawyers in the world. But he has been known to stiff people.

Dang, I would guess the guy was afflicted by untreated Schizophrenia. If so, it sadly reflects how the country's mental health care is still lacking.
Trump’s PAC Has Just $5 Million in the Bank After Blowing $50 Million on Legal Fees
Donald Trump’s political operation is reeling after spending around $60 million on legal fees pertaining to the four criminal indictments and various ongoing civil lawsuits against him.
Disclosures indicate that Trump’s campaign and the various political action committees supporting it blew through tens of millions of dollars in 2023, leaving him cash-strapped heading into 2024.
Save America PAC, Trump’s primary PAC heading into his likely rematch with President Joe Biden, once had over $100 million in the bank. Now, it has just a little over $5 million left after spending over $25 million on legal bills in the second half of last year alone.
Meanwhile, Make America Great Again PAC, which served the same function as Save America is now back in 2016 and 2020, spent $5.9 million in the back half of 2023, with $4 million of that going toward legal fees.
Save America also paid out over $110,000 to Melania Trump’s stylist for “strategy consulting.”
Most troublingly of all for the former president, perhaps, is the fact that the Super PAC raised only $6.6 million between July and December, a possible indicator of failing enthusiasm for Trump’s candidacy or suspicion of his political operation.
His campaign itself, meanwhile, raised a little over $19 million, but spent over $23.5 million in the latest fundraising period.
Trump’s legal troubles will likely continue to be a massive drain on his political operation in 2024 as he continues to contend with his four criminal cases against him, and appeals an order that he pay over $83 million out to E. Jean Carroll.

After all that, Trump is running behind Biden in one poll:

I haven’t been following this, but why would anyone obey a subpoena from (he ignores subpoenas) Jordan?
