15. Trump gets himself in trouble
Sun Sep 3, 2017, 05:46 PM

Attorneys are trained to listen to the answers a witness gives, and follow lines of questioning as they present themselves. Trump presents such a target rich environment, it's difficult to track a line of questioning down to the end. But after he claims that he received "very very few complaints" a couple of times, it's inevitable that someone is going to say, "Now, you said that before this lawsuit, you had received 'very, very few complaints.' Can you detail any of those complaints, and what you did to resolve them?"

In a press conference, time is limited and Trump doesn't do follow-ups, but in a deposition, time is virtually unlimited ("I'm going to ask that we leave the record open, and my client reserves the right to recall this witness.&quot , and follow-ups are inevitable.
