Trump Trumped?

It seems as if the nooses are tightening around Donald Trump and his crooked family, considering the bad week Trump just had.

A New York State judge ruled that he and his children must sit for a deposition within three weeks to answer questions by New York Attorney General Letitia James about the Trump Organization's business affairs even as Mazars, the accounting firm Trump had employed for years, dropped him as a client.  Mazars issued a statement saying that ten years' worth of his financial statements were "unreliable," and they recommended that any accounting firm that takes Trump on as a client be notified of this.

Meanwhile, things are heating up in Washington.  The National Archives confirmed that Trump transported classified documents - well, any classified documents he didn't flush down the toilet or have for dinner - from the White House to Mar-a-Lago without authorization, even as he lost a bid to have three separate lawsuits against him regarding the January 6 insurrection dismissed.  

Despite all of this, I'm still skeptical.  Trump can easily appeal the directive to sit for a deposition, and he's probably scheming of how to gum up the lawsuits against him.  Because Trump is like an eel - he always manages to slip out of a tight spot. 

Rumor has it that a lot of anti-Trump Republicans currently raising campaign money off his name but, secretly wishing they could get rid of him, will find a way to cut ties with him once he's in enough trouble that they would have to do so anyway.  By that time, it is reasoned, they will have won back at least one house of Congress and several state offices and they won't need him anymore.  And then we will no longer have to worry abut Trump regaining the White House in 2024.  That does not, however, mean that we will no longer have to worry about the Republicans, who will still be in an excellent position to poison young minds, pollute the environment, and subvert the democratic process.
