“This is a law that’s rather bazar [emphasis ours], this is a law that doesn’t require any victims (there are none, except me!), it doesn’t require anyone to lose money – the banks didn’t complain here, they made money. You have a (Trump Hating!) Attorney General who’s seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in damages when not a single penny was lost by these banks, and that’s part of this (Unconstitutional!) Law… You can see from the reaction of AG James, every morning from that seat, that she is enjoying this, enjoying it a bit too much,” disgraced former President Trump writes in a Truth Social post Tuesday quoting famously obtuse right wing legal analyst Jonathan Turley.

While Turley is a dipshit, he’s almost certainly not so fucking stupid that he would spell “bizarre” as “bazar,” leading us to conclude that Trump wrote what he thought Turley said, probably on TV, rather than copying and pasting from a Turley tweet or op-ed. Which means Trump likely just picked out what he wanted to hear and ignored Turley talking about what an appeal would look like.

“THIS LAW HAS NEVER BEEN USED FOR THIS BEFORE. It is both Unconstitutional and very UNFAIR! No businesses will come to New York, only continue to leave. The whole case is RIGGED from DC. It is ELECTION INTERFERENCE. OUR COUNTRY IS BROKEN & CORRUPT!!!” Trump continued in the post, also omitting any talk of an appeal after his 100 percent guaranteed defeat in this case. It’s all just empty political threats and bullshit, raising the question of why he isn’t confidently assuring his fans that he’ll prevail in New York State’s appellate courts since the case is so unconstitutional.

Or maybe we’re just overthinking it and Trump knows he’s completely fucked beyond all hope, which is making him so upset he can’t even bother himself to pretend he’ll be vindicated afterward.
