You know, it should not go unnoticed that the Attorney General of Washington, DC, who is one of the prime movers in this case against Trump, was born in … Haiti.

And yes, Trump himself has known this for a while.

There’s always forfeiture of property. Look at Manafort.

I really don’t know how Trump could get any more emolumentatious, short of hosting a lavish television special to accept a bribe from MBS.

By MAY 05, 2017, Trump had been sued 134 times according to an article in the Boston Globe.

Excerpts from that article include –
Trump has been sued 134 times in federal court since he was sworn into office, according to a Globe tally based on federal court databases, nearly three times the number of his three predecessors in their early months combined.

…major constitutional issues dominate the burgeoning docket.

One key distinction is that while Obama often used executive powers to expand rights to more Americans, many of Trump’s policies have taken them away.

…The dramatic uptick in litigation — Barack Obama faced 26 suits at this point in his first year, while George W. Bush had seven, and Bill Clinton, 15 — is further evidence of the unsettled era ushered in by Trump’s election and the intense fallout stemming from his early executive actions.

…So far, 69 out of the 134 lawsuits have been dismissed, although nearly half of the dismissed cases were related to the travel ban.
