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.
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
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.

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.
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.
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
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.
