- One is almost nothing, for it had to do with his guards roughing up protesters way back in 2015.
- Next, or maybe even first, Summer Zervos (right), a contestant in his The Appentice calling her a liar during his 2016 presidential campaign after she accused him of unwanted kissing and groping when she was seeking career advice in 2007, a year after she appeared on his show.
- Now 75 years old, E. Jean Carrol suing Trump for defamation, for slander long after he raped her in a New York City department store way back in the mid-1990s. Circuit Court of Appeals will soon hear arguments in December.
- Trump and three children, Eric, Don Jr. and Ivanka, are being sued by a group claiming the family conned them into making bad investments. Goes back to 2005. Depositions by April and trial in 2023.
- Mary Trump sued the Trump family for fraud. Donald subsequently sued Mary.
- Trump has at least four lawsuits by Democratic lawmakers and the Capitol Police over the January 6 U.S. Capitol riot. Has to do with violating the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871. Okay, that was unfair, for to the right is Alec Baldwin from Saturday Night Live.
- Also related to January 6, a lawsuit on the Voting Rights Act, by the NAACP and Michigan Welfare Rights Organization.
- The People of the State of New York v. The Trump Corporation already had a unveiling when Trump's personal financial officer, Allen Weisselberg appeared in court. More subpoenas and indictments are coming. Essentially tax fraud. In many ways these are a continuing series of incidents which began in 1998. Michael Cohen will make a reappearance.
- Back in January, 10 Republicans in the House voted to impeach him for inciting insurrection, led by Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming. In the Senate it was only Mitt Romney.
- The Lincoln Project will no doubt return in 2024, and there is an organized Republican Voters Against Trump who feel that he is a racist and thus unacceptable. Something called the Republican Voters listed several hundred thousand former Trump supporters who are disenchanted with him. Add the Never Trump Movement to the list.
- More recently, the Renew America Movement, formed by centrist Republicans to neutralize Trump conspiracy theories, has endorsed candidates to compete against Trump Republicans.
- As of this month, 25 members of Congress--five from the Senate and twenty from the House--have announced they will not seek re-election. All five Senators are Republicans. If Democrats can add just two more members to the Senate, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema will become neutralized, and reconciliation can return to be effective.
- This groundswell of anti-Trump activity will fracture the Republican party's attempt to win back Congress next year. While Democrats are looking like a disorganized group, they cannot be accused of being narcissistic, obsessed with revenge, liars, alienators....well, you get the point. All Democrats need is only a few Republican voters saying we can't vote for anyone who supports what he is doing, and just not show up to vote.
- 2024? He might be in jail.
