Allison Greenfield has become a lightning rod for the former president and his allies, who say a civil fraud case against him is political persecution.
I hate giving Trump credit for anything but I think this may be calculated to some extent. He knows his business is toast in NY and knows he was already found liable. His constant back and forth with the court is to get the fine as high as possible. His followers will see it as the courts going after their guy. They will not care he was found liable already because the evidence was so overwhelming the judge even in the most favourable terms saw no chance for him to win the case. All they will see is the judge extracting a huge fine because he is a a NY judge. They will blame Biden or liberals or the deep state. Never the one person that is truely at fault.
This is the same play as Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, and Roger Stone.
I would guess it’s about as calculated as a fish swimming. The guy has simply always done this in all situations, and it has never not worked, so why would he stop. It’s like the world-record run of playing “Do you know who I am?” with the police officer.

Yeah, but he’s still lost his main source of income. Possibly even Mar-a-Lago.
