esquire.com – If there is a single, overriding lesson in the unfolding Trump University scandal, it is this: If you are the defendant in a civil trial in which you are accused of a massive and grotesque act of fraud, it’s probably best if you don’t get up in public and imply (loudly) that the presiding judge is a Mexican criminal. This can result in the judge’s simply saying, “Fck it,” and dumping a metric ton of evidence regarding said fraud into the public domain. This then will require you to hold a press conference in which you are forced to call a reporter “sleaze” and generally act out because—and I am borrowing here from the Twitter account of the great Quinn Cummings—you are really a giant toddler.
