If it wasn’t already clear to you, Trump doesn’t have the greatest lawyers in the world. From forgetting to properly file one case so that he’d get a jury trial, to pictures of his lead attorney and legal spokesperson posting pictures of herself in a bikini at Mar-a-Lago on Instagram, you can pretty much count on his team being a hot mess.

But now they’re just off the charts.

A seriously weird turn of events caused the Manhattan District Attorney’s office to reveal that apparently, they’re even dumber than we thought, and they tried to subpoena documents from a random guy with the same name as the guy they were trying to subpoena.

And it’s not like this was some “John Doe” on a table.

The person they were attempting to get information from as part of Trump’s defense is a pretty well-known investigator for the DA, Jeremy Rosenberg, known for his effectiveness and accountability.

Like, the guy Trump’s team contacted was literally just a RANDOM GUY with the same name. Here he is, responding via email:

That’s not just ineptitude, that’s almost hilarious, if it wasn’t so sad. But the best is yet to come: Upon being notified of their error and still not realizing they messed up, Trump lawyer Todd Blanche actually doubled down on their demand, citing the importance of getting evidence from a dude that had nothing to do with the case.

Don’t get me wrong. I would hate to be named Donald Trump right now. Okay, ever. I would just legally change my name.

But “Jeremy Rosenberg”? I mean, just do literally 3 minutes of research, you guys.

Blanche called the email he got (from the WRONG GUY) “flippant and dismissive,” which is exactly how any of us would sound if we got a legal notice intended to get — no, demanding something from — a person with our same name.

“The fifteen dollars” part is in response to the travel fees that he accidentally got because they thought he was the right guy. And he’s keeping that money…good for him, maybe it’ll buy him lunch.

This has gone on long enough. We, and Congress, and judges are all watching Trump hire people to represent him that clearly only took the job for money, and dumb enough to represent Trump.

Just throw this orange idiot in jail already.

New: Trump subpoenaed the wrong guy, @ManhattanDA says. Trump seeks records from an ex-DA investigator but got the wrong Jeremy Rosenberg.

"I don't have any files for you," J.R. said and told Trump's atty, before adding, "I'm keeping the fifteen dollars" in witness travel fees. pic.twitter.com/3hRcxuUECu
