"Janna Ellis? I hardly know her."

"She was never my lawyer, but also attorney client privilege means she can't testify against me!"

Eventually, Trump will be like "Donald Trump, no, I'm Ronald Turnip. I don't know any Trump "

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm hoping he tries to convince Don Jr to switch places with him.

[–] TheHottub@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

I'd watch this Freaky Friday remake.

Maybe John Barron, a totally real vice president of one of Trump's companies, will come out of retirement

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 9 points 10 months ago

Now that's an old reference. Very nice.

"Plus she isn't even my type"

[–] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 16 points 10 months ago

She was just a coffee girl!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He has already claimed she wasn't his lawyer.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago (3 children)

How many of Donald Trump's lawyers have somehow magically become not his lawyers now?

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Most of them, he never pays any of them!

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I bet this was his long con all along, the dumbass: never pay his lawyers so he can claim they don’t work for him. Too bad that’s not how it works.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It'll be so nice when he gets his "find out" after all this time. Fingers crossed.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

He’s finding out now. Justice is a slow roll.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee -1 points 10 months ago

We'll see. He hasn't had any consequences yet.

If you keep expecting logic or reason out of Trump's words or actions, I don't know what to tell ya.

Except he doesn't work that way.
