Donald Trump is hanging his hat on a boilerplate disclaimer clause, plus he’s got a new conspiracy theory and this is only the second day of his fraud trial in New York City. He’s hanging not only his hat, but his life, his fortune and if he had any honor, that too on both these nonsensical things, which bear only a tangential relationship to his case. A disclaimer clause is a boilerplate paragraph in a contract which functions to limit liability. A general disclaimer, like the one Trump is talking about, keeps the contracting parties from having to specifically disclaim specific aspects of the contract, one by one.
But if it acts to completely exonerate a party from fraud then that’s new information. Nevertheless, here’s Trumpty making that very argument. And why don’t his lawyers make it? Probably because they also know what a disclaimer clause is about and they don’t want to be laughed at any more than they already have been.

So he’s saying, “There can’t be fraud because I told them to do their own work to see if I was giving them straight figures and even if the figures weren’t straight, they got money and they were very happy. They came up to me with tears in their eyes, big strong bankers and said, ‘Sir, that was the most wonderful loan application I’ve ever seen. You should be in the banking business, Sir.'”
Now for the good stuff, “Chuck Schumer’s girlfriend.”
Unhinged, deranged Trump. https://t.co/30KUBoL3PV

Kyle Cheney writes for Politico. Here’s what’s being posted re: the court clerk. This is starting to explode already. Reportedly Trump or somebody has deleted this from Truth Social, which indicates that the gravity of these mob boss tactics is understood.
Why is Judge Engoron's Principal Law Clerk, Allison R. Greenfield, palling around with Chuck Schumer? 👇 https://t.co/HZvyB8kR28#Trump #Trump2024 #MarALago #MAGA #MakeAmericaGreatAgain @EricTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr @KTDonLeavme @DC_Draino @JackPosobiec pic.twitter.com/o0snIqfxmd

It’s said that the court court, Greenfield, is contemplating a run for office, in which case it makes perfect sense she would be talking to the senior senator in the state, not to mention the majority leader. But, Trump being Trump, he’s got to put a trashy spin on it.
If you care, the New York post is reporting that twelve pizzas were delivered to Trump and his counsel today. Does the man even know what a salad or a piece of lean meat or poultry look like? He’s going to shorten his life eating that garbage and that’s fine with me.
What I can’t wait for is witness testimony. Trump is on the witness list along with Eric, Junior and Ivanka. This is going to get funnier still.
When is this slimy little f*ck going to be put in jail? Were we to do the same in similar circumstances as he, we’d be pacing a 6X9 in a pico.
Trump continues to slither out to sit on the can with his phone, apparently where he does some of his best work …
If they send him to protective custody, he can still unload to the City Sewer, but his cell phone will be a long, escorted walk to the storage desk, where he will find issued orders to keep his phone locked up until his court actions are over …
Too bad Trump, your strike-out, ability is hard to match …
Keep grabbing at straws Trump, good exercise for an old over-weight geezer-loser like yourself …
Almost 3:30 my time and breaking news is that the judge has issued a gag order. Told Trump to take the post down and he’s done so. This is going to get crazier you can be sure.
Finally a judge has had the guts to tell trump to shut up. When this trial is over, his law clerk will have an iron-clad case for defamation. I hope she pursues it and gets an award before trump goes broke.
