23. What is your prediction, does trump replead or appeal to the 11th Circuit and then to SCOTUS?

At first, I was sure that trump and his idiot attorneys would replead. However, this case was never going to go to trial because that would mean that trump would have to be deposed. trump is a horrible witness in depositions. If the purpose of this lawsuit was to get publicity, then appealing this ruling to the 11th Circuit and then to SCOTUS would get trump the publicity that he craves without the risk of being deposed. The original petition in this case was so horrible that the plan may have been to in effect try to force the judge to ask for this type of ruling. I had trouble going through this pleading because it was so bad. It takes work to generate this bad of pleading.

What is your prediction?
