Given how thin-skinned he is, he'll put you on the long list of people he's threatened to sue and hasn't gotten around to it yet.

Shut the frak up. There's more important shit at stake than your "record", which appears to be your main focus.

Guilty or not of the various accusations against him, this guy is tainted goods now, the last couple of months were an important opportunity for him to learn some humility he would have benefited from and that clearly hasn't happened.

Disappointing.

said this about Avenatti, "...the last couple of months were an important opportunity for him to learn some humility he would have benefited from and that clearly hasn't happened...." as if it were a current tweet (my emphasis).

Get it now? Wanna dump on Avenatti for whatever? Have at it. Just make sure it is for something he has done.

Shall we address what he's accused of?
Shall we discuss the legal rulings against him lately?

When will his fan club see him as pretty much a Louise Mensch type critter?

Shall we leave the legal rulings against "him" to the court system as well?

Or shall we throw shade and sit in judgment over something that has nothing whatever to do with us? Defining "us" as "people other than his fan club."

snorting adderall off of the various body parts of some entrepreneurial-minded, pay-for-play young women.

Maybe that's why he doesn't seem to appreciate his namesake much.

I'm joking of course. Trump has never cared more than a few minutes at a time about anything he can't stuff in his wallet. The only possible exception being the sick, sexual preoccupation he has with his daughter Ivanka.

A "nothing burger" that really is a "nothing burger" on this occasion. But the new year will still bring some fireworks for the Trump clan, surely.

This Tweet is a perfect example. If we know anything about Mueller it's that his group does not leak, period. They certainly wouldn't leak to Avenatti.

PS: Nothing would make me happier than to apologize for doubting him.

Every reporter & columnist who counted this nonentity as among the 2020 "viable candidates" is dead to me.
