“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.

    I’m almost convinced we’re seeing a targeted misinfo campaign coming from some .ml and Lemmygrad users. The brainworms are severe.

      There is absolutely no question about this. These users are repeating right wing talking points almost verbatim and these “leftist” spaces protect them by removing anything which challenges their nonsense. We have literally seen this play out once already.

        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.)
