Lawyers are the most corrupt people around. They are to blame for so many of our problems today. So many should be in prison.

To think 77 million people dumber than Trump voted for him. That's horrifying.

Big law firms find ways to keep out of public view trouble. They aren't necessarily actually clean and pure.

His definition of behaving about these law firms mean he's really saying with his threats of their employees losing their jobs, is to stay out of his way and don't try to stop him from carelessly hurting innocent people and narcissistically.

Trump's not targeting law firms. Trump is holding law firms responsible for working outside the Constitution.
