Donald Trump has been on a prolific Truth Social tear, calling for the execution of a top US military general, vowing revenge on NBC Networks and demanding that Republican leaders take action against automatic voter registration to protect him from once again losing the popular vote. All of that was over the weekend. On Monday, the former picked up apace with attacks on New York Attorney General Letitia James.

“I have been unfairly sued by the Trump Hating Democrat Attorney General of New York State, Letitia James,” he cried on his social media site.

James’ office has claimed that Trump has represented his worth as being $2.2 billion greater than it really is. Trump called that a “false fact.”

He then called the judge in the case a “Trump Hater” and cried out for help.

“It is very unfair, and I call for help from the highest Courts in New York State, or the Federal System, to intercede.”

I am not even allowed a Jury!"

    It’s another “Russia, if you’re listening”. He’s trying to call in the favours he’s owed by Barrett and Kavanaugh. Probably Alito and Thomas too, although he didn’t handpick them.

    I wonder if they’re willing to let him rot now they already have what they want. I have no clue if Trump has any leverage left there.

      They’re keeping up a veneer of impartiality until the correct fake cases get to them so they can legislate how they want to. Trump was just the means to stack the court, they have their own role to play and saving trump isn’t part of it.
