    I’m hardly an expert, just someone who loves studying law by myself until I can afford formal law school, and I did a little PR work during my internship, but despise my rudimentary exposure, Trump, his spokespeople, and legal team are approaching these indictments in the completely wrong way. They are too adversial and argumentative. Speaking little and gently would be much more helpful, and maybe even opting for a guilty plea. Trump needs to stop whining about how much he hates being prosecuted and the publicists and attorneys on his payroll need to stop regurgitating his bellyaches. It’s not like I think he won’t be sentenced for being agreeable. He likely will, but maybe they’d be able to make some compromises. Now I know why Ivanka will not work on her father’s current campaign. Her style of arguing is much more reserved, while her two eldest brothers have an aggressive style which seems to be the only one their father seems willing to emulate. I bet Trump did not listen to his daughter’s advice often enough. Edited a word.

      he WANTS to be a victim. he does these things to be targeted. so he can cry about being victimized.

      I think your post is mostly sensible until I reached “guilty plea”. Not going to happen, in any universe. Guy has thinner skin than obese moulting orange lobster.

      he is just lining up the next part of his big lie. the next part of his victimisation.

      he is a narcissist. so he will never voluntarily admit anything.

      I read somewhere that she was one of the voices asking him to call off the Jan 6 rioters (because let’s call them what they were; they may have started out protesting, but a bunch of them very much became rioters).

      gonna be that guy but as you said you might be moving into education soon - and I used to make the same mistake myself but “remedial” has the same root as “remedy,” so a “remedial class” fixes something wrong. “Remedial exposure” doesn’t really make sense here as that would be “exposure that fixes something wrong with me” which is not quite what I think you meant

      Unless you are wealthy and can get into a top-ten law school, don’t go anywhere near becoming a lawyer.

      Half of the profession will be gone by the end of the decade, due to AI tools.

        If everyone followed this advice no one would pursue any career. All of them are traps in their own way, but it beats being a [job no one wants to do]
