He's got Nov. 28th on the brain. That's the day two Trump University lawsuits go to trial.

SAN DIEGO: A US federal judge has denied a request for a five-week delay by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's lawyers in a trial that will determine whether his now-defunct Trump University had defrauded customers.
Lead Mr Trump lawyer Daniel Petrocelli on Thursday asked Federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel to move the trial of two class-action lawsuits from November 28 to January 2 because Petrocelli had another trial scheduled to start November 15, Cbs 8 news reported.
A lawyer for the plaintiffs, Jason Forge, argued that the judge had chosen the November 28 trial date months ago because it won't interfere with the presidential campaign or the holidays.
The class-action lawsuits accuse Mr Trump and Trump University of ripping off students who dreamed of making it big in real estate and paid as much as $35,000 to enroll.

(58,785 posts)he will not be president, making election day just another event in his promotion of his new political TV career, while that court date beyond probably looms far more significant. His business losses are continuing, and this is only the first of 3 major court cases that could cost him very badly.
He's now in a narcissistic rage, seeing himself as a victim of the media and Republican Party; and these challenges to his greatness, and to his probable TV career, may be fueling it further.
