on this story basically blaming President Obama and his appointed judge is at fault.

My response has been:

So according to you and the fact that it's a judge "appointed by Obama", it is perfectly OK for Trump to sue himself, then settle the suit against himself, grant himself immunity from not paying taxes and then give himself (thru an intermediary) money to use for whatever purpose he wants.

Great way to tell the world that you side with Trump ahead of the law.
