Former
president
Donald
Trump
isn’t
known
for
being
considerate.
He
cruelly
mocks
and
demeans
people
—
in
fact,
it’s
a
bit
of
a
calling
card
for
the
45th
president
of
the
United
States.
But
usually
when
he
says
mean
things
about
people,
they
aren’t
standing
right
next
to
him.
On
Friday,
Trump
gave
a
press
conference
after
appearing
in
court
to
appeal
the
$5
million
verdict
against
him
for
sexual
abuse
and
defamation
in
the
E.
Jean
Carroll
case.
He
used
that
opportunity
to
rail
against
the
facts
of
the
case,
Carroll,
the
judicial
system,
New
York
City,
and…
his
own
lawyers?
He
said,
“I’m
disappointed
in
my
legal
talent,
I’ll
be
honest
with
you.”
He
continued,
“They’re
good,
they’re
good
people,
they’re
talented
people,
but
today
at
the
trial
they
didn’t
mention
the
dress.
A
Monica
Lewinsky
type
dress
was
a
big
part
of
the
trial.
I
said,
‘why
didn’t
you
mention
that?’”
All
while
flanked
by
his
lawyers
including
Alina
Habba,
Will
Scharf,
and
D.
John
Sauer.
But
Trump
wasn’t
done
trashing
his
lawyers.
As
the
former
president
notes
in
his
comments,
that
lawyer
(likely
Joe
Tacopina)
is
“not
with
us
any
longer,”
meaning
he
wasn’t
one
of
the
ones
awkwardly
standing
next
to
him
as
he
bashed
them.
So
at
least
that’s
something.
