Testimony from Trumps lawyers- he lies so often we had policy of two lawyers at all meetings...

Will add link- pages found by @nycsouthpaw in new document dump released on his bankruptcy proceedings.

This means his own lawyers were afraid he would deny things he said to them. Could not be trusted to to "remember " accurately what he said when he met with them. It came up when they asked why they were billing for two lawyers' time when working directly with him- because that is not standard. Woo hoo!

he'll lie when the truth will serve him better.

We've already seen that on the campaign.

even pathologically litigious client than the attorneys who've earned fortunes threatening to sue other businesses out of existence if they insist on being paid?

6. They basically say he has had trouble with them sticking to a story so it was to avoid that again

Going forward. Had the same issue with a coke head boss once. Could not remember what he asked me to do in our morning meeting by the end of the day. Asked me to put carbon paper under my notepad, so he could check and verify. That stopped in a few days and he was still unhappy. I designed something that resulted in a huge sale (second largest in their history) and he never told me that, and he and the CEO disappeared for three days on a coke bender.
The more I think of it, the more certain I am that Donald Truml has always been a coke head.

for some while from a manic-depressive businessman/renegade biker/minister who self medicated with coke, made threats to people who crossed him that were not at all empty, and gave spiritual counseling to his appraisers whether they asked for it or not. The wonder was that he was generally personable and functional, the business did pretty well, enough to need me, and his involuntary but well paid "congregation" actually enjoyed wondering which boss would be showing up that day. A fun shop to catch up on the happenings in.

this satisfying memory. Everything has a cost, and it sounds like on balance you profited from this one.
