But he'll sue himself with the wrong forms in the wrong court

I'll always cherish trump for giving us that presser though. Like, EVERYONE knew they meant the hotel, and rather than changing venue when they couldn't secure it, they grabbed something with the same name and pretended it was intentional. Just truly amazing. Like a child with a chocolate covered face saying the dog ate the cookies.

I read a theory that they had to change the location because the hotel was near a school and someone in their group was legally barred from being that close to children.

While there was a sex offender that spoke at the conference, the Trump campaign actually changing the venue because of that one person implies either

  • they care about keeping sex offenders away from kids

Or

  • they respect the law

Since neither are true, I don't think the theory stands up to scrutiny.
