8. Trump brags that he's worth TEN BILLION DOLLARS

But he's haggling over a mere $2 million when it's his ass on the line? You don't think Trump's been overstating his net worth, do you?

I'll just bet Trump was delighted with the initial $250,000 estimate (more likely a retainer). Once he's signed up with a lawyer, my guess is that Trump expects the lawyer to be at his beck and call anytime, anywhere, for as long as he wants, and there'd better not be a bill.

4. This was obvious days ago when it was reported that Trump said he could represent himself and win

That's exactly the kind of thing a free-loading, phony, con-man asshole like Trump says when he doesn't want to pay.

But, I really wish the mass media would stop using photographs of TONTBM (the one not to be mentioned) with the trappings of the US Presidency in the background.

He was never really a President to this country. Although, we were assured many times he was 'turning the corner'.

shocking that he would lose his representation just days before the trial, but how many days did he actually have that representation?

9. A regular person would just be happy to limit the damage.

Of course a regular person would not be so far down this road. Trump wants it all. He wants to be acquitted, litigate the "fraud" case, maybe even expects the decision to put him back in the White House, AND ON THE CHEAP!
