    Well I for one am tired of all the winning.

    (How DID Soros engineer ALL those losses though? I mean, you gotta hand it to him...)

    I think the Mary Trump/New York Times case isn't quite lost yet given a recent New York State Court ruling Trump could appeal that dismissal.

    Otherwise, yikes! Trump is an all time loser.

    That list looks like a table of battle victories of a tiny European state centuries ago. Constantly getting its ass kicked.

    Time to start bugging people like Ted Cruz[1] with questions about whether Don Trump should drop out, for the good of the party.

    The table would look even more impressive if those 62 suits over election fraud each had its own line.

    This seems like a good time to remind everyone in the media that they ought to review the last FEC filings from the Trump campaign.

      Enough that if he fell over dead tomorrow, there would be a serious recession among litigators, especially in New York.

    Outside of the judiciary:

    2022 election: Trump candidates lost, costing the Senate and leaving the House ungovernable

    2020: lost the trifecta

    2018: lost the House

    2016: lost the popular vote, not by a little, eked out electoral win

    Maybe it’s not on here since it isn’t Trump personally, but the Trump Organization was also convicted on 17 counts in Dec. 2022.
