Trump is now using Senator Fetterman's Truth Social post to play games

I hope that Senator Fetterman quickly realizes that if you try to play nice with Trump you will get burned.

Trump's Team Cites Fetterman's Truth Social Post As Reason To Dump Hush Money Case

President-elect Donald Trump’s legal team is pointing to a Truth Social post from Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) to bolster its argument that the New York City hush money case should be thrown out entirely.

Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, attorneys for Trump, called Fetterman’s summary an “apt” one in a document made public Friday.

This will not be considered by Judge Merchan and is simply a game Trump's legal team is playing in the public sphere. But I hope this is a lesson to the Senator and he uses more caution going forward.

It could be some sophisticated strategy that will take time to unfold,
and is too difficult for us to understand at the present.

It's not possible. People who know him and people from NY have been telling everyone this forever. Trump is a con artist and a snake and he doesn't care who gets knocked down if he sees a benefit for himself.

A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I am sorry, but I couldn't help myself. It's my character."[1]
