#FlopsweatTrump is increasingly desperate.

Via Reuters' Sarah Lynch:

It's misleading for #Trump to claim on social media that he will appeal Judge #Chutkan's trial date of March 4. A trial court's scheduling order is not a legit basis to file an appeal at this stage, before a verdict is reached.

His own lawyer, John Lauro, conceded as much today in court when he said: "We will certainly abide by your honor's ruling, as we must."

@GottaLaff Ah, but when the courts don't let #Trump appeal the trial date, that enables another flurry of raging social media posts and adds fuel to the grievance machine. None of these responses to the #TrumpIndictment are about legal strategy, they're about revving up a force of brownshirts.
