    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    He wrote: "Happy Thanksgiving to ALL, including the Racist & Incompetent Attorney General of New York State, Letitia ‘Peekaboo’ James, who has let Murder & Violent Crime FLOURISH, & Businesses FLEE; the Radical Left Trump Hating Judge, a ‘Psycho,’ Arthur Engoron, who Criminally Defrauded the State of New York, & ME, by purposely Valuing my Assets at a ‘tiny’ Fraction of what they are really worth in order to convict me of Fraud before even a Trial, or seeing any PROOF, & used his Politically Biased & Corrupt Campaign Finance Violator, Chief Clerk Alison Greenfield, to sit by his side on the ‘Bench’ & tell him what to do; & Crooked Joe Biden, who has WEAPONIZED his Department of Injustice against his Political Opponent, & allowed our Country to go to HELL; & all of the other Radical Left Lunatics, Communists, Fascists, Marxists, Democrats, & RINOS, who are seriously looking to DESTROY OUR COUNTRY.

    The frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination is facing a civil fraud trial brought against him by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

    The $250 million lawsuit alleges Trump and executives at his company fraudulently inflated his wealth on his financial statements, which were used to secure loans and insurance.

    A gag order in the case previously prevented Trump from criticizing court officials, but last week a state intermediate appeals court, headed by Judge David Friedman, granted a temporary stay on the order, effectively suspending it due to the “constitutional and statutory rights at issue.”

    Engoron had previously fined Trump $15,000 in total for violating the order twice after commenting about Greenfield, including falsely claiming she was in a relationship with Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.

    Meanwhile, Trump complained that there was no food left for him at a luncheon for Texas state patrol officers he attended last weekend to celebrate the federal holiday, which began in 1789 under then-President George Washington.

      Letitia ‘Peekaboo’ James

      Does he think anyone doesn’t understand what he’s saying there? Why is he even trying to hide it?

          There’s a very nasty racial slur against black people that starts with “jiga” and ends with “boo.” Many people think that Trump’s use of “peekaboo” in relation to the black Letitia James is a reference to that phrase.

          He has a history of doing this. He has referenced the two black poll workers in Georgia that the MAGA conspiracy theories targeted as “Riggers” in a clear nod to the N word.

          His followers love this kind of stuff. They think they’re being sneaky by “hiding” their racism behind otherwise innocuous words.
