If this ever gets made into like a docuseries or movie, future generations aren’t going to believe that the legal team of a former President in a civil case was this incompetent.
Like there’s no way to make said movie and not have it be a comedy of errors.
It’s fairly easy to understand, though - his cases are hopeless because he’s plainly guilty. He expects his lawyers to lie for him, endangering themselves, make frivolous arguments, and try anything to delay cases. It raises their profile, but makes them look bad to normal people, and then on top of it, he will simply ignore bills to avoid paying anything. Therefore he’s only left with desperate, incompetent or dumb lawyers. Because nobody reputable would want a client like that.

No, they’re dumb. You’re not entitled to legal counsel for civil trials, only criminal ones. That means any lawyer who represents him in the New York case is choosing to do so.
Of course they’re doing it voluntarily. What I mean is the group of people willing to work for him is small at this point. And obviously Trump isn’t capable of representing himself.

It’s the Trump candidacy, presidency, and aftermath were a TV series, we’d be yelling at the writers to make it more realistic.
Someone explained to me that fiction needs to be believable, but reality has no such constraints

IIRC, his lawyer’s have been getting paid up front since Kise was hired.

Title it “Fucking Morons” and make it as serious a documentary as possible.
“I’m a very stable genius!”
Narrator: “He wasn’t.”
Maybe something like White House Plumbers?
