Most of Trump’s outrageous behavior is actually fairly predictable. Every now and then, however, he comes up with something that makes me gasp. That was the case this afternoon, when I read in the NYT that he has filed a (completely baseless) $230 million claim against the DOJ for alleged harassment starting in 2016. The fate of this claim will certainly be decided by one of his appointees, and possibly by a man who was his defense lawyer when he was out of office.
You couldn’t even make this up. Under the circumstances, I’m surprised he only asked for $230 million. Why not $15 billion, the figure he is using with the NYT?
