Why does he keep calling it a civil lawsuit
Because to acknowledge that he's involved in criminal lawsuits would suggest that he is indeed a criminal and untrustworthy and not qualified to be the POTUS.
That's literally what all his handlers are treating this as. One big PR mishap after the other. CEOs do this shyt all the time
- Get caught doing some shyt
- Downplay it so that it gets pushed to the bottom of things to discuss in the various media cycles
- Quietly deal with it behind closed doors
- Return to business as usual
He doesn't understand that this shyt is not his carny ass two bit companies, it's the Office of the President.
Like nikkas said...he should have stayed in food and beverage
