TFG seethed that he had the 'stupidest' attorneys in his second impeachment trial, book says

Former President Donald Trump was not impressed with the team of lawyers representing him in his second impeachment trial, according to a new book.

He was "spitting furious" after a legal brief they filed was riddled with typos and he fumed to anyone who would listen that he had the "stupidest" lawyers, journalist Michael Wolff wrote in his new book, "Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency."

"Are these lawyers the stupidest? Are they the stupidest?" Trump vented.

The president also complained to his former lawyers about the incompetence of his new lawyers, Bruce Castor, David Schoen, and Michael van der Veen.

It wasn't the lawyers that were the stupidest Donny.

He did this to himself. And who found the typos? I'm sure it wasn't him.

Also, he's in no position to call anyone stupid because he's probably the biggest moron on the face of the earth.

The president's aides were also frustrated with his legal representation. At one point, several advisors were clustered outside the Capitol before the impeachment trial, "and nobody seemed to know why, except that somebody had said they needed to wait; Adam wasn't there."

"Who, somebody finally asked, is Adam?" Wolff wrote. "Adam was the legal intern who was going to drive the Jeep."

Wolff reported that Adam was late because he was "doing a law school quiz on Zoom."

I would expect no less from these clowns around TFG!

Let’s not forget the Four Seasons Landscaping fiasco.

When I was in law school, admittedly decades ago, there were no quizzes. Or anything else other than the final. Your entire grade in almost every class was based on one, and only one, thing.

They could see the quality of help he arranged for in his cabinet. Who would want to be associated with THEM??

If only Ghouliani and the other professional pratfallers and ratf*ers TFG was hanging with in October and November had been tasked with his defense to the impeachment, the entertainment value would have been much higher.
