He’s almost certainly going to appeal whatever verdict he gets, claiming that he had ineffective legal council and that the judge was biased against him. Because the only effective reason you can appeal is if you don’t believe your trial was fair. So he’s basically stacking the “this trial was unfair” deck in his favor.
I’m not sure what you mean exactly in this context? Are you saying he will try to appeal on those grounds anyway? If that is what you are saying then it doesn’t work like that because the appeals court will simply throw out the appeal for lack of standing I believe.
That’s exactly what I’m expecting would happen. Trump submits paperwork trying to appeal, it gets rejected for not being valid grounds to appeal, and he cries persecution in the media.
Oh, well in that case then I guess I agree with you. Both because that is his M.O. and also because his legal team in this specific case is especially incompetent.

I hate to be that guy, but you can’t appeal on ineffective assistance of counsel in a civil proceeding.
Since when has something being legal or not ever stopped Trump from trying it?

I’d love to watch him cry about it in jail, but I’m not hopeful he’ll actually end up there.

RBG was too ______ to retire as well.
Even if he did appeal, would that delay execution of the resulting court order?
