After all it's worked so well for him in his business dealings.

Bankruptcy courts got him out of debt obligations that he didn't feel like paying - not once, but multiple times.

Burying contractors in legal battles has allowed him to not pay what he had contractually agreed to.

Courts got him out of two marriages, and who knows how else he has abused the court system.
