Trump Representing himself in court?!

I Don't know if this is real but:

If this is true why isn't it breaking News?

Why aren't the news organizations camp out around the court waiting for him to come out?

Why the Hell isn't this being televised?

so the PACER system (the federal courts' on-line document system) had to list the party, Trump, as appearing pro se. He has three lawyers for this case: Lindsey Halligan, a Florida insurance claims lawyer with no federal court experience, who seems to be fairly stupid but she's pretty, which matters to TFG because she goes on Fox for him, plus two D.C. area lawyers. Those two had to be admitted pro hac vice because they aren't admitted in FL, and Halligan screwed up the filing and the court rejected it, told her to do it over.

Most bloggers and Twitterers don't know any more about the legal system than TFG's lawyers.
