Filling idiotic motions doesn’t typically come with consequences, unless he tries repeats.
I get the cynicism, but it’s not really warranted for this nothingburger of a court report. Just more illustration that his lawyers suck at their job and can’t control their client.
Threatening the court does typically come with consequences. This article calls this filing tired and laughable, but Trump is still not under gag order. Not to mention the court case itself being about crimes alleged years ago.
If you heard the court arguments why the defense thinks the stay should remain, even the appellate court thinks he’s getting far too many free passes on his speech, and the defense couldn’t cite a single case where somebody was treated so leniently.
Filing motions that inevitably get thrown out or result in court cases Trump loses, allow Trump to paint himself as a victim and underdog, and rail against the establishment and elites. This helps his campaign.
They’re not necessarily idiotic from a political standpoint.

If I had done the same shit he did to the judge who ruled on my divorce, I’d still be in prison.
I’m actually curious if this would count as precedent in court. “Trump did it and the judge disregarded it, surely I can do the same you honor.”

For sure. This is all political theater to him, even if there’s serious consequences attached.
