As we all know, Donald Trump is a man-child. Worst, he’s a racist man-child.
Trump has persistently run with a single narrative, one he has stretched from his election loss in 2020 all the way to the series of criminal and civil cases against him on the state and federal level. He’s only ever launched one defense: Everybody just hates Trump.
Trump, the man-child, has used his platform exclusively to throw temper tantrums and cry about how everyone is picking on him and being big meanies. The man who is always on the attack and always bullying and leveling crass insults at his opponents is out here flooding the political playground with orangey-white baby tears while claiming every legal authority involved in every case against him is a bully trying to take his lunch money.
On Monday, Trump testified in the civil fraud case brought against him by New York Attorney General Letitia James. In that case, Trump is alleged to have exaggerated the worth of his business and assets in order to secure loans and other financial benefits without revealing that he’s not actually balling like he says he is.
During the hearing, he was repeatedly reprimanded by Judge Arthur Engoron “for waxing poetic about his business’s worth after being asked direct questions by prosecutors,” Mediaite reported. So, Trump did what he always does when things don’t go his way in a courtroom and took to his social media account to call judges and prosecutors corrupt and any Black official involved “racist” just because they’re Black, which easily demonstrates his own racism.
“I am worth Billions of Dollars more than what is on my financial Statements – they are very conservative (Therefore, NO FRAUD!)” Trump reportedly wrote on Truth Social Tuesday. “The CORRUPT & RACIST NEW YORK STATE A.G., Letitia Peekaboo James, working in close coordination with the TRUMP HATING, RADICAL LEFT JUDGE, and the Biden White House, refuses to drop the NO JURY ALLOWED CASE that was brought using a Statute never used for this before. In fact, no such lawsuit has ever been brought by the Attorney General’s Office! It is a mockery of our Judicial and Legal System. Something must be done to stop the Fascists. MAGA!”
First of all, why the hell does Trump keep referring to James as “Peekaboo.” That’s not a nickname she has and Trump is the only person who ever calls her that. What does it even mean? Trump’s history of racism might lead one to believe he was trying to merge “piccininni” and “jigaboo,” but perhaps this blustering blowhard of a man-baby is actually looking for adults to play “peekaboo” with him. (Nah, it’s probably the first thing.)
On Wednesday, Trump also lashed out at Judge Engoron for compelling his daughter, Ivanka Trump, to testify despite being dismissed from the case.
“Tomorrow my wonderful and beautiful daughter, Ivanka, is going to the Lower Manhattan Courthouse, at the direction of Letitia Peekaboo James, the Corrupt and Racist New York State Attorney General, who has allowed Murder and Violent Crime in New York to flourish, and a Trump Hating, out of control Clubhouse appointed Judge, Arthur Engoron, who viciously ruled against me before the trial even started, wouldn’t even consider a Jury, and said that Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida, is worth $18,000,000 when, in fact, it is worth 50 to 100 times that amount,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post that is nearly identical to the one he wrote Tuesday, only it was amended to include Ivanka. “Now they are trying to bring Ivanka into the case, despite the Court of Appeals ruling that she cannot be charged. Sad!”
In emails to her counsel, the attorney general’s office said Ivanka’s household staffing, credit cards, taxes and New York housing were still being paid for or managed by the Trump Organization.
“Ms. Trump, even after her formal resignation, has remained intertwined with the Trump Organization and we believe that she is still amenable to service through that enterprise,” Assistant Attorney General Sherief Gaber wrote in a Sept. 26 email.
Engoron ruled in September that the former president was liable for fraud after James had proven the core elements of her civil case against Trump, his adult sons and his businesses. The lawsuit alleged the Trump Organization sought lower taxes and better insurance coverage by falsely inflating and deflating the value of its assets.
While Ivanka was dismissed from the case in June, the judge ruled that the dismissal did not prevent her from testifying.

Again, Trump is a child. He’s a whiny, tantrum-throwing, name-calling, 77-year-old adolescent troll who is throwing a fit because he’s, possibly for the first time in his life, being held accountable for the unethical and possibly illegal things he has done.
