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.
I love that Roberta Kaplan is such a classy lady that when he tried on the “c u next Tuesday” it flew right past her and she was simply puzzled instead of offended like he wanted.
Literally, her own classiness robbed him of the pleasure of seeing his infantile joke land.
Nothing wrong with understanding the phrase, and plenty of classy ladies do, I’m sure, but I am really just enjoying how his own incredibly low gutter character itself robbed Trump of all the reward of trying to call Roberta Kaplan a cunt: it was literally too low for her and sailed right by.
In the moment he tried it and it failed to land he probably just seemed stupid and confused. Which, to be fair, might be his superpower at this point. He’s turning out to be the Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi of own goals.
I don’t get it, what is c u next Tuesday?
Wait am I trump
First letter of each word spells out “cunt,” a rude term in the states for a “terrible woman.”
“see you next tuesday” phonetically spells it out, and is a passable normal phrase. Its also a sexist joke that a 12 yr old would tell. The fact that it qualifies as humor/spite for a 77yr old ex president is sad as fuck.
To be fair I’m surprised he still has enough mastery of the written word to come up with that all by himself. This may be his crowning intellectual achievement.
Its not an original. It’s been around for a very long time.

If you don’t understand the phrase, wouldn’t that make you Roberta Kaplan, not Trump?
No no I think he believes that Tuesday is just the naughty day for some reason
