Donald Trump is going through what is undeniably the worst legal peril he has ever faced in his life, as he wades through literal dozens of formal, criminal indictments against him, on both a state and federal level, including multiple felony offenses, that will go down in history books to be read and studied by our grandchildren some day.
Yet, the ex-president has consistently attempted to put on a facade of confidence, arrogance, and innocence against the array of charges lodged against him.
Case in point…
Underneath the scandal of Donald’s recent bombshell federal indictments by the DOJ, was the smaller, but frankly hilarious scandal that revealed Trump’s lack of success in filling his legal team with lawyers that are actually willing to represent him and take on such a… Well… Bomb of a case.
As I’m sure we all recall, Trump lost a portion of his legal team just literal days before he was set to face his arraignment in a Miami court on a whopping 37-count federal indictment from Garland-appointed DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith, all of which are in connection to the ex-president’s blatant obstruction and countless violations of the Espionage Act in the infamous classified document case.

Since then, he hasn’t had much luck at all in filling his team back out with attorneys competent enough to take on such a public, historic case with some of the most massive legal and democratic implications this country has ever seen.
But, of course, you won’t hear Donnie tell it that way.
New footage is spreading across social media as we speak of Trump’s little speech at his Bedminster club last night, in which the scandal-plagued, disgraced former guy tries to convince the crowd that all of the country’s “biggest” law firms and lawyers were basically scrambling, begging at his feet to represent him in his various cases, only for him to shoot them down because he “doesn’t need any help.”

Americans reacted to this hilarious declaration pretty much exactly as you’d expect:

The “best lawyers” called him, with tears in their eyes, saying, “Sir, please let me defend you! Sir, you are being treated so unfairly. Sir, this must be stopped.”

Trump is convinced he knows more than his lawyers. Getting close to representing himself. Not kidding. pic.twitter.com/8cb7U246OK

He doesn’t need it because there is no defense. Oh and of course, there is not a lawyer that will take the case.
