Trump fears Giuliani, other lawyers in Biden vote challenge are 'fools that are making him look bad'

[brooklynite]

Source: CNBC

President Donald Trump is sweating over his campaign lawyers’ dismal and often outlandish efforts to reverse President-elect Joe Biden’s projected electoral victory.

Trump is worried that his campaign’s legal team, which is being led by his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, is comprised of “fools that are making him look bad,” NBC News reported Monday.

That crew, which has unironically called itself an “elite strike force team,” to date has failed to win any legal victories that would invalidate votes for Biden, the former Democratic vice president, even as the legal eagles tout wildly broad claims of fraud for which they have offered no convincing evidence.

1. Ya think?

[AZ8theist]

101. HE'S RIGHT!! IT'S A LIBERAL PLOT!!!!

[mdbl]

110. Trump needs no one else to make him look like a fool

he already looks that way all by himself.

[CatMor]

2. Ya think!

[canetoad]

3. You get

What you pay for, Donald.

[R Merm]

62. Or with tRump what you don't pay for.

[Leghorn21]

4. Whatever do you mean, loserboy?

[LudwigPastorius]

92. Somebody needs to make the "Downfall" clip in which...

Trump finally finds out Giuliani is an incompetent, embarrassing asshat.

[Mike 03]

5. I'd say Yes. But let's call in Sherlock Holmes to investigate this mystery

and see if he concurs.

[Zoonart]

10. Agreed...

This news just in from the "no shit Sherlock desk!"

LOL

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Trump looks bad all by himself; he doesn't need Rudy to do it for him.

But Rudy and the rest of the occupants of his legal clown car aren't helping. His Lardship's problem, though, is that all the lawyers who want to protect their licenses and their reputations want no part of this clusterfuck. Maybe he'll have to start arguing his claims pro se - and wouldn't that be a sight to behold?

[OldBaldy1701E]

51. You took the words out of my mouth!

I was also going to say that he needs no help looking bad. He is perfectly capable of doing that all by himself.

[hibbing]

58. +2

[Danascot]

98. I'd pay-per-view the hell out of that!

[exboyfil]

7. And you tied one of the fools to the hip with your AG

in a plot to use foreign policy to frame a political opponent.

This is just an extension of that behavior.

[patricia92243]

8. For once, Donald is correct.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. Not hard to make tRump look bad, but yes, they are fools too. . . . nt

[AllyCat]

11. Well sure, but he already did that on his own.

[underpants]

12. Hans?

[kansasobama]

13. Not true - He is the fool and Giuliani is merely what Trump serves

Okay, here comes the blame game. It is always someone else.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

14. Trump is throwing them under the bus to save face

They're doing exactly what he wanted them to do, now he does he usual schitck of pretending the failures are all their fault. They all suck LOL

[rustysgurl]

15. Not a hard task

In this case, Trump is getting what he's paid for. And considering he never pays his bills, his legal defense team is the BEST money hasn't bought.

[Yonnie3]

16. The Irony is strong in this one

Thinking of him out of office brings this to mind. Hopefully we will get there.

[LakeArenal]

73. Nowhere man. Fool on the hill.

[WheelWalker]

82. It's only a fool who never felt like one.

[LakeArenal]

85. I also think of this tune by the Beatles

https://m.

[Escurumbele]

105. It is interesting because I thought of G.W. Bush when I heard that song while he was president

Because Bush was really a fool, an empty head. I don't know if he was evil, almost like a child who is just happy to be called "president", and if I recall correctly, I think he said so at one time.

Cheney is evil, no doubt about it, but GW was more of a fool, an idiot placed in the presidency just to allow the evil gang to do the dirty work behind the scenes, then they told him what to say and he happily did.

trump is a fool, no doubt about it, he is also an ignorant, but he is evil as well. If he had been just a little bit intelligent, and a little less narcissistic, he would have never run for office. A person who thinks a little hard would have known that there was too much dirt in his life for it to not come out. I understand that he thought of the presidency as a personal coffer where he could take the money and pay his debts with a lot of extra change, a gigantic grifter, ready to take it all.

But yeah, G.W. Bush, to me, is the perfect "Fool on the Hill".

Wonderful song, shame on us to associate it to such jackasses

[Yonnie3]

107. I'm hoping that one day

once the course of the country is reversed and is moving ahead and the evils are dissipated, that this song fits.

[COLGATE4]

17. Trump has got a fantastic lawyer in Ellis

who knows so little about litigation to believe that a judge exchanging meaningless pleasantries with one attorney means that he is going to favor that attorney in the proceedings over which he is presiding. A first semester law student wouldn't make that frankly stupid assumption.

[Blue Owl]

18. Donny's a little late to his own party...

[gohuskies]

19. Takes a fool to know one Fat Nixon

God even more projection from the king Loser himself. This is beyond pathetic.

[Mme. Defarge]

20. Some good quotes in the article.

[Botany]

21. Trump and his allies are now 1-35 in post-election litigation.

BTW I think the 1 "victory" changed 0 votes.

[Mme. Defarge]

22. So, Donald is finally getting what he actually paid for,

bupkis.

[Chainfire]

23. Looking bad is what Trump does best.

It is not his attorneys that are the problem.

[Vinca]

24. Who wants to break it to Don that he looked bad long before Rudy and company came along?

[Firestorm49]

25. It's never him, is it? It's never his narcissistic core, right?

It’s never HIS sheer stupidity, it’s never his blatant lack of constitutional understanding, it’s never his ego, ......................................God I hate that childish fool.

[TeamPooka]

26. Trump doesn't need their help in that.

[Paul Politerude]

27. This is The Onion, right?

[Grokenstein]

28. Always somebody else's fault, isn't it.

Ha ha ha, "elite."

[keithbvadu2]

93. Truman: The buck stops here.

Truman: The buck stops here.

Trump: Excuses and blame and scapegoats.

[maddogesq]

29. So the chief circus clown is...

blaming the other clowns for making him look like a clown.

When is this shit show ever going to end?

[world wide wally]

30. That is a very short stretch yourhighnesty.

[JI7]

31. He makes himself look bad on his own.

[Gregory Peccary]

32. Only the best people right?

[MyOwnPeace]

53. ALWAYS good to keep

bringing that one up again. After all, it was another one of his "promises" that helped get him elected, right?

[greenjar_01]

33. The whole enterprise is foolish

Trump should have conceded the election gracefully on Saturday, November 7. His continued refusal to do so is only compounding foolishness with evil.

[Paladin]

34. Nothing gets past our oh-so-sharp "president."

Let's hear it for that "elite strike force team." Keep the grand favors to Democrats coming, guys and gals.

[MineralMan]

35. Hey, Donald! You've got to dance with the partner you brought to the dance.

And then you have to take her/him home afterward.

You pick 'em; you stick with 'em.

[MyOwnPeace]

55. Mineral Man..............

I've thought of you as really being up on what's happening - but I'm afraid you've missed something here.

"You pick 'em; you stick with 'em."

I'm sorry, but as Ivana and Marla will tell you - "Donnie don't play that way!"

[beachbumbob]

36. Duh, kinda late

[bucolic_frolic]

37. We're treating a mental condition /nt

[yellowcanine]

38. I wonder what made him think that?

was it the juicy sideburns or wiping snot on his face?

[onetexan]

39. Look bad? LOL

[Happy Hoosier]

40. This is what happens when you surround yourself with obsequious toadies.

They will tell you what you want to hear, even when it's complete bullshit.

[William Seger]

41. "Do these pants make my ass look fat?" "No, it's your fat ass."

[Illumination]

46. ...And he IS a horse's ASS!...

[bucolic_frolic]

42. The lawyers are mere actors handed a badly flawed script

The problem is with the idiot behind the strategy

[thesquanderer]

43. No legal team could make his preposterous position NOT look bad (n/t)

[Illumination]

44. Wow dude! Get a brain!...

..... ..... .....

[sarge43]

45. Ah Donnie, that plane left the hanger some time ago.

They have made you look bad ... if it's possible to make you look any worse than you already do.

[PaulRevere08]

47. LOL! Like saying "It was the script!"

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

48. If Rudy is purposely messing with Trump's head, he's conning the con.

What if Rudy's nutty antics are meant to deliberately destroy Trump's possibilities of overturning the election?

Rudy would be a hero of democracy. Wouldn't that be a hoot?

[ResistantAmerican17]

49. That's rich coming from this shitshow president

[11 Bravo]

50. Making Trump look bad is hardly a stretch.

[Thekaspervote]

52. Nah buddy ....you do that all by yourself!!

[Jirel]

54. Oh, horses**t!

This is at best unsubstantiated rumor, at worst just another Dump campaign ploy to set up Rudy and Co to take the blame with his supporters when his ass is ejected.

Look. They're HIS lawyers. If he was really "fearing" they make him look bad, he could stop that in 30 seconds. One text message. "Rudy and Co, stop all legal action immediately, we're done."

But he isn't making that call. They're doing exactly what he wants them to be doing. He just wants to be able to turn to the halfway-disgusted contingent of his base and say, "Vote for me in 2024. Woe is me, Rudy was such a loose cannon."

[True Blue American]

56. Well, duh!

This group makes the Keystone Kops look good!

[marble falls]

57. The fool he needs to worry about stares at him when he trowels his tan on.

[Marie Marie]

59. Ditto to every single post above.

[Hekate]

60. No shit, Sherlock, you handpicked them all

[BigDemVoter]

61. Interesting.

They ARE fools, and they ARE making him look even worse, but I find it funny that Trump won't recognize his OWN role in making himself look like an idiot. Of course it's no shock; he NEVER takes responsibility for anything, and he's the one who asked them to make outlandish claims. . .

[Lock him up.]

63. "the best people" the oRange sh!tgibbon hires make him look bad????

Please someone, somewhere, anywhere: LOCK HIM UP b4 it's too late.

Thanks from the whole wide world!

[ET Awful]

64. Who's the bigger fool? The fool or the ones who hire them for legal

Representation?

[relayerbob]

65. IT is categorically impossible

To make him look any worse than he already does. They are simply reflecting his idiocy

[ananda]

66. ROFL

Trump, look at them as though you're looking
in a mirror!

[matt819]

67. Well. . .

On the one hand, it's very difficult to make trump look worse than he already is, and has been.

On the other hand, Giuliani and his band of clowns have in fact managed to make trump look worse.

That said, we've already seen that there is no bottom with trump, so there's no telling who or what will make him look worse. Continuing this farce is one way, of course. Not conceding is a good way to look worse. Not authorizing the release of transition funds goes a long way to making him look worse. And then there's the whole coup/not leaving the White House thing. So, there's lots of room for looking worse, and more stupid and evil.

[DanieRains]

68. Too Busy To Read All The Comments But Ya Think And You Get What You Pay For

Comes to mind....

Carry on....

[tiptonic]

69. Section 8

Benedict donald, should go ahead and apply for a 'section 8', mental discharge. He could get the same doctor, that wrote his bone spurs note for the draftboard, to evaluate him. That way, he could live out his live at the expense of the tax payers, in some mental hospital and not have to go to jail. Seems simple enough to me.

[Lock him up.]

72. Sadly, there are no golf resorts in mental hospitals so he'll reject the suggestion.

[Skittles]

70. TRUMP IS MAKING AMERICA LOOK BAD

HE'S BEEN DOING THAT FOR YEARS

[trueblue2007]

71. ha ha ha ..... Donald Rump is making HIMSELF look bad. He should not blame anyone else.

74. Hey Donald, hate to tell you, everything and everyone around you

Makes you look bad. As you remain above ground, you’ll make America look bad along with you.

[sakabatou]

75. No one is making you look bad, Trump. You do that on your own.

76. That's what happens when you surround yourself with LOSERS

Asshole.

77. What results do you expect if your lawfirm is Jackass, Jackass & Jackass!

78. Like he needs help?

Really? I thought he could do that all by himself.

[Turbineguy]

79. They are the best he can get.

Maybe there are other Lawyers with noting to live for.

[malthaussen]

80. No fear, Donald, it's not your lawyers making you look bad. n/t

[TNNurse]

81. Rudy is the lawyer Trump deserves.

[Wounded Bear]

83. So much for "only hiring the best people"

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

84. Trump doesn't need assistance looking bad

He does that quite well on his own.

[Fla Dem]

86. Now he's worried? Now he's worried he looks bad! Ha, HA, Ha, Ha. A little too late!

[EarthFirst]

87. This really ought to be the "Fuck it..." moment for everyone still holding on to this dolt...

There isn’t a god damned thing for trying that anyone is going to do to satisfy this narcissist.

At this point; they all ought to just walk away saying:

“Fuck it Donald; you’re on your own...”

[Aussie105]

88. When one fool surrounds himself with a bunch of other fools

it's hard to tell who is to blame for the mess they create.

Of course, it's never Trump's fault.

[sandensea]

91. Pretty much describes the GOP since 1995

[Judi Lynn]

115. Thanks for sharing that. There's nothing like it! Thank you, sandensea. 🎆🎇👑❤️️

116. Glad you liked it, Judi

That song comes to mind a lot whenever Republicans come up in conversation.

No idea why...

[LudwigPastorius]

89. Hey, Dollhands Donny. You don't need a bunch of fools to make you look bad.

You can do that all week long and twice on Sunday.

[es466]

90. "Elite strike force team" -- LOL! The jokes write themselves.

[iluvtennis]

94. What a jackass trump is. Even top lawyer in US could do nothing with his "no evidence" of election

irregularities. Guess he wants them to fabricate data.

From all of the news reports I've read or watched on TV, even Ghouliani knew he couldn't present a case of fraud to judges without evidence as it would put his law license at risk. So he and the other "strike force" team simply presented the fraud to news conferences.

[pazzyanne]

95. ...

[Mc Mike]

96. Starting to get an inkling, like a big dumb animal that's been hit with a tranq dart, and is dimly

beginning to recognize it feels 'funny'.

[greenjar_01]

97. MAGA Haberman tweeted some version of the same

Obviously the Trumpy spin on things.

Putting idiot Rudy in charge was a hedge. if he won, great. If he lost, he's a fool anyway and they can throw him under the bus, too.

So, here we are.

[marmar]

99. Easiest job in the world.

[MustLoveBeagles]

100. And the Captain Obvious Award goes to......

Seriously, Capt. Trumps needs no help in looking bad. Although his legal team, if you can call them that, aren't helping any.

[warmfeet]

102. Riiiiiiiighttttttt.

It's his team of lawyers that are making him look bad.

WTF?

[Escurumbele]

103. Is it possible to make him look worst than how he has looked for four years, and continues to do so?

Giuliani has the goods on trump, anyone remember when Giuliani said "he had insurance"? Well, he does...Giuliani must have so much dirt on trump and that is why he is kept as a "lawyer"...

I would love to see a prosecution of both trump and Giuliani, and the two of them being witness against the other...can one imagine all the corruption these two thugs have between them? I bet a lot of dirt would come out from Giuliani from his time as Mayor of NY.

[Evolve Dammit]

104. just now assessing your legal team? Really did check out huh?

[twodogsbarking]

106. Cue the

Benny Hill music.

[Honest_Abe]

108. That ship has sailed...

...long ago.

[Wolf Frankula]

109. Giuliani says he has 'insurance.'

tRump turns on him, my guess he has enough to send tRump to prison for the rest of his life.

[LiberalLovinLug]

118. And yet he keeps rehiring him.

Just can't quit him.

The fact that Rudy just keeps going even after the Borat film showed him not only a fool, but a perverted fool, speaks volumes.

Sleazeballs cannot see other sleazeballs.

[IsItJustMe]

119. twittle D and Twittle Dumb

Pot calling kettle black. What's the difference?

[coolhandlulu]

120. Elder abuse

Giuliani was the only lawyer Trump could get so he got him even though he made statements four years ago saying Giuliani wasn’t on his game. To hear him talking about all the conspiracy theories while that hair color was dripping down his face and seeing the obligatory pretty young blond behind him mindlessly smiling and nodding...it was SAD. I immediately thought to myself why doesn’t family step in and protect him from Trump and going out like a fool. I know Giuliani is not saint, but he did offer leadership during a horrible time when Bush failed us.
