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.
Oooh, they buried the good stuff here:
I won’t quote all of that part, because it’s worth reading. Go ahead, click on it. Donald Trump is such a mean girl.
“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 © you (U) next (N) Tuesday (T) - yes, it’s childish.
No way lmao, I never would’ve thought of that.
Good people don’t.
The former president of the United States, what a classy guy.
Mmm, yes, please become the eternal emperor of the free world. 50,000 years and finally we’ve found the Chosen One.
She should come back on Tuesday
And ask for another best sandwich
Thank you, I had never heard of it
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.
she could have replied “See you in prison” but she probably has more class than that.
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.
A third grader would say this and think they are so cool
I had never heard it before just now either.
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.
C U Next Tuesday
Spell out the letters and phonetics: C - U - Next - Tuesday , spells…

I will, because not everyone has the time or the desire to go to a news site and get blasted with ads and tracking cookies for an article they are only marginally interested in. So here’s the rest:
You also missed the part when, after the deposition was over, Trump’s lawyers, who we all know now are incompetent and inattentive to details, immediately sprung up to confirm that they were now off the record. They knew what he was going to say.
That means they had to plan it. Trump must have gone to them ahead of time and said “I’m gonna call her a cunt straight to her face, and there’s nothing you can do to make me stop”. So they had to enact a strategy to make sure it didn’t get into the record. And then, they probably had to snicker a bit to prove they thought the joke was totally OK and they really got her good.
Similar story.
After catching Covid, he wanted to leave the hospital wearing a Superman shirt. Someone had to talk the President of the United States out of acting like a child.
Man, I remember that. Then they lied to the country about how sick he really was. They had discussions about whether he should go to the hospital or not and ultimately they decided he was getting worse and worse and that he had to go right then so that he could be seen walking to the helicopter. If they had waited, he would not have then able to walk. Of course he was vaccinated and immediately got the best care, I wonder how many of his dumbass supporters died because they figured “well Trump lived without vaccinations or a mask, I will too.”
Reminds me of a different story.
After he noped out of the WW1 Centennial ceremonies because it was raining, they had to arrange a photo op of him going to Arlington in the rain to place flowers. Ignoring the fact that he could have gone to Arlington every day of his Presidency…
I really do imagine that everyone of them has to fake laugh at all his jokes. I bet there’s always a stare and a long uncomfortable silence whenever someone doesn’t react quick enough, like you see in the movies.
Having to be a personal sycophant to that jerk is arguably close to selling your soul to the devil.
Devils at least hold up their end of a bargain. Sure, they may try to trick you, but they don’t withhold their end of am agreement. What do you think the odds are that these lawyers are going to be paid in full?
I don’t think that’s true at all. It sounds like day 1 material for “lawyering for cunts school”. Like if you’ve just had a tense meeting with the opposition, and your client is a childish idiot, then of course he’s going to try a parting jibe. You would absolutely 100% pop up and say “that’s it folks off the record now LOL”
I can’t imagine a better response even if she knew what he meant. “What do you mean Donald? Our meeting is Wednesday, did you forget?”
My hero.
No seriously I really didn’t want to deal with that.
According to urban dictionary:
See You Next Tuesday
A clandestine method of calling someone a cunt.
Particularly effective when used prior to a three day week end.
C: See U: You N: Next T: Tuesday
I know what C U Next Tuesday means in a derogatory way, but ngl if I really had a meeting scheduled for next week with the person who said it to me, I would just assume that’s what they were referring to.
Yes, in this case the meeting was on Wednesday, but my initial thought would be to wonder if I was misremembering what day the meeting was supposed to take place.
Even if you know about it, it’s not always obvious depending on the context. However, if I have a brief but unpleasant interaction with someone who I had never met before and never planned to see again, said it as I was walking away, then yeah - it would probably register that they were being a dick.
Ohhhhh. Thank you for spelling it out. C U N T. Got it
And thank you for spelling it out again because my dumbass didn’t catch it again… Lol
I was literally just assuming that he was calling her a prostitute that have regulars on specific days lol
That is exactly what I thought!
Also that he asked the kitchen to make bad food.
Stop trying to make quid pro quo happen, Donald!
I hope it was referred to the judge; this exact type of behavior has resulted in findings of contempt and sanctions regularly.
