I am so thankful someone has some sense! This is getting out of hand.

The self-dealing corruption is so rancid and blatant I’m surprised the judge in the case didn’t have to clothespin her nose and wear rubber gloves to handle the documents.

But she’d still be touching contaminated documents compromised people’s lives, hoping that that one clause isn’t detected as it’s written to imply but not condemn.

And then she’s breathing the air, sneezing, nose blowing, from all those who put themselves into them. And we know that there not clean at all.

Hopefully, the only thing the Congress gets to touch are the freshly xeroxed copies from Staples.

On top of that, how was he injured? He, himself, said he was going to share his tax returns. This was something he said he was going to put into the public purview, himself. How is someone doing that harming him in any way? No damage, no damages.

Must be an interesting experience seeing your country turned into a mafia state in front of your own eyes.

The President is prohibited from accepting any payments from the US Government other than his salary. Such payments are illegal emoluments according to Art2.1.6 of the Constitution

It makes me laugh when his followers think he’s a master tactician playing 4D chess and then he says some bs about being on both sides in a lawsuit like it can be a thing. Maybe it just reflects on the intelligence of his followers…

He wants time to try to "settle????" when he is the leader of those he is to settle with???IF THIS ISN'T A WAY OF SCREWING THE TAXPAYERS, NOTHING IS.

BUT WHY ISN'T CORPORATE MEDIA COVERING THIS OUTRAGEOUS EVENT??

Good to see a judge call out the hypocrisy without hedging or equivocation.

This gives me hope that ethical standards and the rule of law aren't dead.

When will trump start whining about activist judges? Or have another stroke?

Does this mean that $230 million suit to the Justice Department might get thrown out as well? We can hope…

According to some of the best legal minds, this is a frivolous lawsuit brought by Donald Trump to enrich himself to the tune of $10 billion of taxpayer money. This is seemingly a stunning abuse of his position and if he gets a settlement an apparent theft from the American people aided by a DOJ that apparently works only to serve Trump’s whims and demands.
