I have seen such tactics and moves on put on Trump before, It was our Australian QLD Premier back in the 80's they all ganged up on him and kicked him out, because they were the outright criminals in fact !
Even within his own Party and they had a open Cheque book payed for by the Tax payer to look into every thing he did for 20 years as Premier and before that as well, looking for a Pin in a haystack ! and they could fined nothing at all wrong But he had to pay to represent himself, it cost him millions back then, but if he had the ability to a open Government open cheque book with cash to deal with them, he would of walked all over them totally !
The thing is he had to be very careful in responding back to issues because such would cost him a lot of money ! So he could not go their ! as he was stung if he was to take any issue up ! But if he had the backing like the Government Mob had, he would of taken them on totally on every issue and made them look like total morons ! They brought up anything and played with such !
Trump needs Government money cash cow to represent himself totally, so he can back himself up 100% on any issue that is conjured up against him, because how do you take on the Government who has an open cheque book and all the time in the world to attack and attack like a wolf regardless.
Our Premier had to keep his representation to the bear bones and could not take them themselves on at all, with all their devilish games they played and they played every dirty trick totally ! out right slander making up total BS a Prostitute claimed that she had someone that looked like him in her dealings, She did not say that it was him at all, but only looked like him ? That Premier was a devout Christian and they outright despised him for such, bagging him taking part in Sunday school and all. They and the MSM all claimed he was lowering himself as a Premier for teaching Sunday school, they were laughing about it, openly making out he was an idiot for doing so.
And every QLD Premier after him has been a totally corrupt moronic clown and useless good for nothing mongrel creeps and wasting money like a drunken fool. and such has got that bad that most to not care at all about the debt, it's become a non issue now !
So just like every lefty Mob, all you have to do is borrow money and as Premier or PM you will look good in the eyes of all of the fools, it works a treat ! If they could not borrow money like they did, then they would be seen for the total in competent total morons that they truly are.
