“Price is what you pay, value is what you get.”

The question for boards and shareholders is: did they get a lot *more* than $8,100/hr of value for that wage.

@Huntn00 @persagen
Presuming a 40-hour week, that's over $8100/hr. Feels like a lot to me...

@GottaLaff @emptywheel this is how he's escaped accountability his entire [grotesque] life.

Whenever he's in trouble he throws legal tantrums - to show the courts he'll waste an infinite amount of time and money to settle something that would be far less expensive to just admit to. One of the many ways he squandered his half-billion inheritance.

Being unreasonable is his superpower

Jose Pagliery:

By suing the judge overseeing his bank fraud trial, Donald Trump is creating the pretext to potentially seek his removal.
