    He’ll sooner drop the whole thing because he can’t be fucked to show up for anything like this. He’s accustomed to his lawyers taking care of everything and only having to sign something here and there.

      His lawyers already argued that he has National Security issues he needs to deal with so that’s why he can’t show up. He sure is milking that National Security excuse of all its got.

        If he is too busy to allow for due process for his defendants, he is too busy to file personal lawsuits in the first place.

        Something no other president has ever done to my knowledge, let alone a hundred times or whatever, for obscene laughable claims of damages.

        Why do the courts keep allowing these? Something is broken in our system, these judges are too scared and or corrupt to call bullshit on bullshit cases filed, and that was true long before he was president.

          Your judges are still trying to put the books in the shelf while the entire house burns around them. They’re trying to follow the laws and norms with a person that doesn’t.

        National security issues don’t stop him from watching 6 hours of TV in the morning or tweeting for 7 hours at night.

        The BBC should ask the lawyers how Trump can have time to play golf when all these national security issues that he is responsible for creating are preventing him from showing up in person.

        If it seems odd that he constantly has National Security issues he needs to deal with, it makes more sense when you realize that he is the National Security issue he needs to deal with.

        And if that isn’t enough he will just create some new national security issues to add to the pile.
