In reply to the discussion: Law Firms Made Deals With Trump. Now He Wants More From Them. [View all]lonely bird
(2,289 posts)6. What the actual fuck?
What did these naive idiots think would happen?
Time and again some fool thinks they have made a “deal” with Trump only to have Trump fuck them over. You know what he is. You have seen it for years. Yet you think somehow this time will be different. You think that somehow you are special compared to all the other fools he has screwed.
As for trade deals? I thought Trump was the great deal maker so what does he need these lawyers for?
