In reply to I get the impression that

Back in 2016 it was reported his "real legal lawyers" would never discuss cases with Trump alone, but at a minimum two would be present, as witness to what Trump said, he being an inveterate liar and whiner.

In reply to Endless litigation, with no

I get the impression that (espec. before his presidency) the only people he has ever listened to and followed their instructions is his corporate lawyers. (And I don't mean his personal lawyers like Michael Cohen, those he used like handmaidens to clean up messes after he made them.)

In reply to Why float Jared/Trump debts?

Endless litigation, with no satisfactory result for the banks.

From Wiki, Trump International Chicago:

Trump cited a "force majeure" clause that allowed the borrower to delay completion of the project under a catch-all section covering "any other event or circumstance not within the reasonable control of the borrower".[116] Trump not only sought an extension, but sought damages of $3 billion from the bank for its use of predatory lending practices to undermine the project and damage his reputation, which he claimed "is associated worldwide with on-time, under-budget, first-class construction projects....

Why float Jared/Trump debts?

Still makes no sense - even if Trump "bullies", why extend him more credit? Some missing link here.

In reply to Dr. Atlas sells this

I'm used to pulling it *out my ass*, not putting it in, but just may give it a try, not that I'm, ehrm, "sexually weak". What kind of ointment, and how many fingers?

In reply to Paul Waldman:

What's wrong with radiology? It's as good as TV. Rush Limbaugh, one of the best radiologists out there. Sinclair Broadcast - a perfectly fine radiology network. I mean, look at Howard Stern - he had the first direct satellite radiology talk show - used to be one of the wild and wacky best until he got influenced by never-Trumpers.

Paul Waldman:

....Trump and Kushner thought they were being so shrewd and so clever. Such a couple of political geniuses. Look at us, playing four-dimensional chess!

I would remind you that today, the government’s actual experts have been pushed aside, and the administration’s pandemic response is being overseen by a radiologist with no training in epidemiology or public health, who has a long history of peddling misinformation on the pandemic and who got the job because Trump saw him on Fox News.
