With the thousands of lawsuits Trump has pursued, many of them in the relatively small world of New York developers, it is unimaginable that he has not sometimes been doing business deals with people he was suing at the same time. And yet he says he cannot work with Democrats if they are investigating him. “If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation. It just doesn't work that way!” I don’t buy it.
I’ll bet developers are as comfortable with court battles as lawyers are. They probably denounce each other as liars and cheats in court in the morning, and then go out for lunch together. Trump is saying he cannot work on infrastructure legislation while being investigated because he knows a lot of his audience thinks that way. It’s a pose.
Anyone want to do some opposition research? The Dems should do it. The media should do it. There’s probably a good, comic story here with a dozen or so examples of Trump litigating against people he’s partnering with on something else, maybe complete with pictures of them golfing together.
Go for it!
