Behind the scenes, Trump frustrated with his legal team's maneuvers

...

The president has been complaining to aides and allies about his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and recently-removed lawyer Sidney Powell’s over-the-top performances at a news conference at the Republican National Committee headquarters last week, these people said. Both Giuliani and Powell have continued to make conspiratorial and baseless claims about widespread voter fraud, for which they have provided no evidence.

The president is concerned his team is comprised of “fools that are making him look bad,” said one source familiar with the thinking. Asked why he would not fire them, this person replied, in essence, who knows?

...

Trump was also not pleased with the optics of the brown substance, presumed to be hair dye or a makeup product, dripping down Giuliani’s face during the nearly two-hour news conference Thursday, according to one of the sources familiar with the president’s reaction.

...

Giuliani got his major role on the team “by default,” according to one ally, because he’s unabashed in his support for Trump and willing to say and do things other attorneys may not. Adding to that, the president’s first choice — longtime aide David Bossie — was sidelined from the effort when he was infected with the coronavirus earlier this month.

1. It takes one to know one.

Look at the orange one's hair and makeup. He is worried about the optics of Rudy's hair dye? Really???

[Iliyah]

2. Are you kidding me .....

[TDale313]

3. Oh sweetie, trust me

You don’t need any help on that account.

[MineralMan]

4. But, Donald, they're you're hand-picked representatives.

Think about it...then concede.

[greenjar_01]

5. He misspelled "base"

[gratuitous]

6. The law isn't on their side, the facts aren't on their side

So what's a lawyer supposed to do but fling shit at the wall in hopes that something sticks better than Rudy's hair dye?

You should fire them all and represent yourself, Donald! Show 'em how it's done.

[Stinky The Clown]

7. This literally made me laugh out loud

You picked 'em, Donnie Boy

So FUCK YOU

[dalton99a]

8. Clown hiring clowns

[dascientist]

9. LOL!!! (n/m)

.....

[Windy City Charlie]

10. And there you go

You can already see he's setting up to throw everyone around him under the bus for not doing enough.

[nolabear]

11. It's gonna take forever to get the blood off that bus's tires.

[unblock]

12. Who's gonna tell him?

[catbyte]

13. I thought he boasted that he hired "only the best people." What happened?!?

[Raven123]

14. Not possible. He hires the best people. Right?

[FakeNoose]

15. Hey Sherlock ...

Time to resign, loser!

[C_U_L8R]

16. Trump is a little slow on the self-realization thing

No historian will ever say he was a particularly smart or insightful President. And definitely not a good one.

[NRaleighLiberal]

17. keep projecting!

[kysrsoze]

18. "I have the best people..." - yeah, sure you do, idiot.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

19. Giuliani said that he has lots of "insurance" - could be the reason.

Giuliani said this in an interview a while back. I remember seeing it on TV.

[Maru Kitteh]

39. He better have in on video, because *n.o.b.o.d.y.* takes Rudy seriously anymore

When Chris effing Christie calls you a national embarrassment . . . . . .

[demtenjeep]

20. he does that all by himself

the petulant child can go fuck himself

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

21. Sounds like a job for Not-So Super Susan Collins. nt

[exboyfil]

22. So when is his outside voice going to happen

I seated all these judges and they are ruling against me. Some didn't have two years of experience before I put them on the 2nd highest Court in the land. I was promised by (insert favorite Federalist zealot name) that they would rule in my favor. That was the deal.

[PatSeg]

23. Okay, that really was funny

I really had no idea that it was other people who made Trump look bad!

[Paladin]

24. Fools making you look bad? What was your first clue, fuck-hole? (nt)

[DFW]

25. Objectively speaking, I'd say his concern was 100% justified.

What he seems to ignore is that he looked pretty bad even before his team got busy making matters worse.

[Tripper11]

26. there are not enough ROFL emoji's in the world for this

[NightWatcher]

27. This post needs a pic of him flipping off the mirror. That is who's pissing him off.

[global1]

28. The Key Words In The OP's Thread Title Are "His Team".....

Trump concerned his team is comprised of "fools that are making him look bad".

This team is 'his team'. He picked it and he is running with it. If anyone is a 'fool and making him look bad' - it's he himself.

He's the biggest fool of all as the boss of his team that hired these fools to represent him.

[bdamomma]

29. tRump

has many mental issues, now he is lashing out on us because of his troubled childhood......he needs to be bodily removed.

He wants his revenge on us for not voting for him. He is a sick sick POS.

He is burning the country before he leaves. He is a dangerous toddler who needs to be slapped down.

[liberalla]

30. Favorite Headline of the week !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly

[KWR65]

31. He is the fool in charge of it.

[genxlib]

32. It takes a fool

To run a fool's errand

[NJCher]

33. Rudy's bad enough

but that Sydney Powell character brings a whole new dimension to the term "nut job."

About an hour ago the NY Times posted at article about her. Here are some choice quotes:

snip

In a matter of minutes, Ms. Powell blamed Cuba, Venezuela, the Clinton Foundation, the billionaire George Soros and Antifa, a loosely defined left-wing movement, for somehow making votes for Mr. Trump disappear.

“Georgia is probably going to be the first state I’m going to blow up,” Ms. Powell said over the weekend in an interview with Newsmax TV. “And Mr. Kemp and the secretary of state need to go with it.”


Isn't this fun? Oh and she says Cuba, Venezuela, etc., have a "secret algorithm" which helped them steal the votes.

Here's more:

snip

Ms. Powell also used her media appearances to amplify social media posts promoting QAnon, the baseless conspiracy theory whose proponents believe Mr. Trump is battling a cabal of satanic pedophiles.


Conspiracies within the American government have been a preoccupation of hers for some time: In 2014 she self-published a book that purports to be a seminal work in “exposing ‘the Deep State.’”

snip

I looked for the book on Amazon but it's not there. There are tons of books, though, on Qanon and all their other conspiracy silliness.

34. He's setting up

My guess he's setting up to file a lawsuit against his legal team for bad representation.

[Initech]

35. The fools are steering the ship right into the iceberg!

[myohmy2]

36. "fools that are making him look bad,"

...only one fool and he's made himself look bad...because he is bad, horribly bad...

...I never thought I'd live to see it, but trump actually made the chimp look like a 'normal' president...

...and that's not easy...

[Baclava]

37. "its them other guys make me look bad"..says the dullest tool in the shed....BWAhahahaha!

[Caliman73]

38. His team is comprised of fools, him being the head fool.

This is what happens when no limits are set. His whole life Trump was never really held to account for anything. He is delusional about how things work in real life.

[Blue_true]

40. What is even more stunning than that Fool calling fools that he hand-picked fools,

is that 74 million Americans thought that Boob was remotely competent enough to lead this country for four more years.

[Cha]

41. No Bluster Orange Blob.. you do that

all by yourself.. your stupid crew is greasy icing on the dumpster fire

[Dorian Gray]

42. I mean.....

yeah....

[spanone]

43. Hand picked by don himself.

[lindysalsagal]

44. 34 losses in, and he finally figures out that i's not working???

And he still thinks he'd fit to run anything larger than a restaurant coatroom?
