Donald Trump Takes Swipe At Lawyer Michael Avenatti Following New Allegations About Brett Kavanaugh

President Twitter Fingers is at it again. On Wednesday, Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh faced even more allegations of sexual assault and misconduct. But it looks as if Trump is still dead set on defending his boy. Trump took to Twitter to lob attacks at Michael Avenatti, who is representing one of Kavanaugh’s accusers. “Avenatti is a third rate lawyer who is good at making false accusations, like he did on me and like he is now doing on Judge Brett Kavanaugh,” Trump tweeted out.

Avenatti is a third rate lawyer who is good at making false accusations, like he did on me and like he is now doing on Judge Brett Kavanaugh. He is just looking for attention and doesn’t want people to look at his past record and relationships – a total low-life!

This is perhaps an unsurprising attack, coming from a man who can’t stay of Twitter if it meant saving his life, and who had no qualms attacking alleged victims on Twitter. But Avenatti, who has also represented Trump’s alleged mistress Stormy Daniels, is not here for the president, his shenanigans, or anything he has to say. Avenatti ain’t never scared. The lawyer quickly fired back, calling the president a “habitual liar” and a “complete narcissist”…which isn’t a lie.

“False accusations?” Like those crimes your fixer Cohen pled to? You are an habitual liar and complete narcissist who also is a disgrace as a president and an embarrassment to our nation. You are so inept that your “best and brightest” are Cohen and Giuliani. Let’s go.

Avenatti later added that Trump was not nearly the tough guy he pretends to be (which I think we all guessed by now).

Trump pretends he is a tough guy. He is nothing of the kind. He grew up spoiled with a silver spoon in his mouth and a gold toilet under his butt. He was handed everything. That is why the majority of America & the UN laughs at him and calls him a con. But at least Putin is a fan

This is apparently the country we’re living in now. Where the president shows little concern about multiple allegations of sexual misconduct by one of his nominees, and instead lobs attacks against the lawyers defending alleged victims, and the victims themselves. And then he is surprised when other nation’s leaders laugh at him.
