That's what narcissism is, and sure, you can hide behind "he has not released any diagnosis" if you want, but that's a consensus among even most conservative experts. Seeing what he's done over the years with various contracts etc. is also demonstrative of that, he screws people over pretty much anytime he knows he can, you don't want to be a subcontractor, contractor, or attorney to Trump, you WILL get screwed.

2nd off, apply your logic to Putin. Putin was elected by a landslide, and has a voice, mission, and even more Russians agree with him. By your argument, Putin can neither be an asshole or a criminal, mostly because he is hated.... So, we can see why it's a fallacy.

I'm not asking you to hate DJT, I know you're a staunch supporter. However, arguing that he's committed no crime pretty much has flown out the window a long time ago. Again, there's no argument that he did bang porn stars among many affairs and bungled financial records for a payoff to cover for it.

As to what level of crime that should be, I'm not arguing that.

Argue that as a former president, he should be immune if you like, or that he's targeted (but again, he makes himself a target, and not because of mere politics). Arguing he's an innocent peaceful person with a conscience of all things... He's none of those.

Non disclosure agreements are not illegal.

As you are an attorney you KNOW that for a NDA to be enforceable to receiving party must receive consideration.

I have every employee of mine sign an NDA as part of a condition for employment. That said they must get some sort of consideration.

And you also know retainers are legal fees.
