Hammer down, i think. i am not surprised he didnt go incredibly starchy against him. this could be something that hes going to have to justify our on appeal. i think you made it pretty clear who is the boss, and its not donald trump. going forward, it is just a matter of whether all of these pages and discovery state with trump. by the way, in terms of keeping him on a short leash, and almost in vandalizing him, you can only look at it with your lawyers. he really, i think, came close to slappin...
