This presidency is turning into a big dissapointment.
As an evangelical christian, I find it hard to accept how hard it is for Trump to tell the truth, pay his employees/clients/etc, or behave in a Godly manner. It's not that hard.

I really hope Trump can find salvation because he's doomed to hell if he doesn't.

I believe you are talking about November 8, 2016, yes? Uh, duh. LOL Move on and get with the program. This POS is a lot of trouble. This has NOTHING to do with Ms. Clinton.

I cannot blame any law firm. Their reputation is on the line.

If anyone needs the best legal representation, it's Trump. That four top law firms all declined to represent him is bad, so bad, really really bad.

This is unprecedented. But that happens a lot with this excuse for a human being.

Partnerships also think about their own reputations and how it will affect future business including attracting new and retaining clients.


When a "difficult" client needs legal representation they "Better Call Saul", as in look for an independent/solo practitioner. Someone who heads his or her own law firm has a lot more leeway in who they take on as clients.
Yep. And the billable hours due to having Trump as a client pale in comparison to defending corporate clients in complex litigation/restrucuturing, or representing private equity firms on large transactions. The only reason for a law firm to take on Trump as a client would be for p.r. purposes, or the chance for litigators to argue before the Supreme Court (which is like a musician getting to play Carnegie Hall).

I can see why top firms would turn him down. He has a track record of not taking advice, and getting frustrated with his team. What law firm wants to be on the receiving end of negative tweets from POTUS when he gets frustrated? Or be subject to anonymous source articles? It's too much risk without much reward.

Nobody wants to work for him. Lol--Kellyanne's husband won't work for him. Nobody wants the FBI Director job. Nobody with a good reputation is going to work for him. Nobody with other opportunities will work for him. Nobody who cannot afford legal representation to defend against ethics charges will work for him. Nobody who has ethics will work for him.

Of course attorneys don't want to work for him. Attorneys are sticklers about being paid. They don't want to get sued for malpractice after he turns on them. They know he lies and they don't want to deal with ethics charges and being disbarred. Probably think he's going down and they don't want to go with him.
I guess Ivanka or Jared can be AG and FBI Director. They're about as qualified to do that as anything else they're doing in the west wing.

Would you work for him? A boss who will stab you in the back, throw you under the boss, who shows no loyalty or support, who publicly contradicts them, who makes them lie, who makes them look foolish. So many reasons, so little time.

He may end up with Giuliani and Christie because neither one of them has much left to lose and they both appear to be willing to sacrifice any semblance of a reputation that they had.

Can't wait until this presidential farce is over.

Can't wait until this presidential farce is over. And it is costing taxpayers a fortune to guard his entire family while they maintain their jet set lifestyle. He's going to bankrupt the country the same way he bankrupted himself four times over.
