“Any lawyer who takes a TRUMP CASE is either ‘CRAZY,’ or a TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT,” Trump wrote

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced on social media he’s searching for a new law firm to represent him in an appeal against last week’s jury verdict awarding $83.3 million to writer E. Jean Carroll.

He left a message to prospective hires in the Truth Social post, writing: “Any lawyer who takes a TRUMP CASE is either ‘CRAZY,’ or a TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT.” The former president’s announcement follows his vow to appeal the jury’s decision last Friday, predicated by the presiding federal judge’s September ruling finding him liable for defamation.

    It’s New York, he has to post the 83M before he can appeal in a civil case. They don’t let deadbeats waste their court time.

      Pardon me if I don’t hold my breath that Trump is actually going to pay. If Carroll gets her money, it will be from some PAC or friendly billionaire who wants to be able to pull the president’s strings.
