Donald Trump targeted New York attorney general Letitia James in a statement as her office seeks a deposition from the former President. As The Washington Post’s Josh Dawsey and David Fahrenthold noted, the deposition “marks an escalation in the probe of the former president’s company.” James recently suspended her campaign for Governor of New York. She will instead run for re-election as Attorney General. Trump, who failed to secure the popular vote twice, and was a one-term President, said that James had “no chance of even coming close to winning.”
“Letitia James wants to politically weaponize her position as Attorney General instead of exemplifying impartiality and protecting the interests of all New Yorkers,” Trump insisted. “While she pretends that she suspended her short-lived campaign for New York Governor to go after me, she conveniently fails to mention that she couldn’t garner any support and her poll numbers were abysmal—she had no chance of even coming close to winning.”
“Despite weeks of campaigning, she was losing to Governor Hochul by what would have been a massive landslide. “She didn’t drop out of the race for a higher purpose, or to “finish existing business” (I wonder what that would be?),” he continued. ‘She dropped out because her campaign was a complete failure, possibly because the citizens of New York saw how unfairly and viciously she and other highly partisan New York Democrat prosecutors were treating President Donald J. Trump. It’s called Prosecutorial Misconduct.”
Then Trump slammed his home state, saying that “New York is dying before our eyes.”

“Rather than continue to waste her time and taxpayer resources on a long continuing Witch Hunt against the Republican Party and me,” Trump said, “she should focus her attention on helping to resurrect the once Great State of New York where crime and poverty continue to wreak havoc, with murder, rape, drug sales, and just about every other form of crime at record levels, and now with a just-announced highest unemployment rate in the Nation.”
“New York is dying before our very eyes, and all the Democrat Prosecutors are focused on is how we can get and punish Donald Trump, who many would say has done, over the years, a spectacular job for New York!” he added.

What has Trump done for New York? I must be missing something here. New York is not dying, and random capitalizations make him look even more insane.
