It's almost as if stiffing his previous lawyers has made people wary. Strange.

Well, that, and contradicting them and incriminating himself publicly like 5 minutes after the lawyers make their statements doesn't help either.

Also, the evidence is very damning. This will be a hard case to win for Trump. Do you want to be the lawyer that lost the case that sent Trump to go to jail? I mean, I would love to be that lawyer but I'm not a lawyer so I don't care about my reputation
