Attorney Roberta Kaplan said former President Donald Trump threw papers across a table and stormed off during a deposition at Mar-a-Lago after learning that his legal team had agreed to provide her lunch.

Kaplan, who has represented clients in high-profile cases against Trump, including E. Jean Carroll, said on an episode of the “George Conway Explains it All (to Sarah Longwell)” podcast recorded Thursday that she rejected the former president’s request that they work through a lunch break because he believed the deposition was “a waste of my time.”

“And then you could kind of see the wheel spinning in his brain. You could really almost see it,” Kaplan told Republican strategist Sarah Longwell and conservative attorney George Conway, a longtime Trump critic. “And he said, ‘Well, you’re here in Mar-a-Lago. What do you think you’re going to do for lunch? Where are you going to get lunch?’”

Kaplan said she told him that his attorneys had “graciously offered to provide” her team with lunch — a common civil practice between opposing legal teams.

“At which point there was a huge pile of documents, exhibits, sitting in front of him, and he took the pile and he just threw it across the table. And stormed out of the room,” Kaplan shared, adding that Trump specifically yelled at his lawyer Alina Habba for providing them lunch.

"See you next Tuesday" is a derogatory euphemism?

Edit: I would have never figured out what it was supposed to mean on my own. I had never heard of that before and judging by all the quick replies it's a more well known insult then I would have guessed.

See (C) you (U) next (N) Tuesday (T) - yes, it's childish.

It's the type of thing a junior high kid would say to a frenemy to sound edgy, while at the same time avoiding all the "naughty words" that would get them in trouble with the teacher.

So, totally on brand for Donald Trump. Actually a bit too mature for him, since he's said directly that his temperment hasn't changed at all since first grade.

C U Next Tuesday.

He was calling her a cunt without using the word.

[-] mPony@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

she could have replied "See you in prison" but she probably has more class than that.

[-] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 5 points 10 months ago

I wonder if her not picking up on it made him even angrier? Almost as if she's made of Teflon and his childish insults bounced right off her.

[-] rayyy@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

A third grader would say this and think they are so cool

[-] AnneBonny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I had never heard it before just now either.

[-] ares35@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago

me neither, but ima start using it where appropriate. like a passing farewell to the asswipe that parks his obnoxious suv in front of my building all day, every day. is 2 hour parking only but he's buddies with a local cop so they never ticket him--only anyone else that dare park in 'his' spot.
