Trump Sure Looks Like He’s About to Get Smoked in Court

Trump battled a fraud lawsuit in New York that could determine his future as a businessman with a torrent of insults and taunts… and no coherent legal strategy.

Former President Donald Trump wrapped up his massive civil fraud case with a trademark personal touch: An attack on the judge, right in the courtroom.

“You have your own agenda,” Trump told Judge Arthur Engoron Thursday. “You can’t listen for more than one minute.”

And with that, the trial was over. Now, it’s the judge’s turn.

The man Trump just spent months taunting and insulting will now deliver a judgement within weeks that could wallop Trump’s business empire, with hundreds of millions in fines, a possible lifetime ban on doing business in New York, and possibly other penalties. This case could force Trump to hand over flagship New York properties, including even his Trump Tower headquarters in Manhattan. Trump, who spent a lifetime buffing his preferred self-image as the ultimate brash New York real estate tycoon, may shortly be banned from working in the Big Apple ever again.

With so much at stake, Trump’s decision to repeatedly insult the man with so much power over his fate was an unorthodox choice, to say the least.

@MicroWave So, what type of high would you get by rolling a fat J full of Trump and smoking it in a courtroom?

Well since it would be part dog shit and part face bronzer, it would make everyone's headache from listening to his stupid ass even worse than it already is.

Basically similar to ditch weed.

I imagine it’s about the same as bath salts- it’ll fuck you up, then it’ll fuck you up

I've heard about people wanting to smoke Jerry Garcia's ashes, but I think this is a little too far.
