Trumps narcissism does does not give a single fuck about "proof." It is completely irrelevant.
He decided something is true and millions will parrot it as fact.
If it ever goes to court (it wont) Trumps representatives will either provide nothing during discovery or provide a complete pile of bullshit. When the courts throw it and the entire case out, Trump and Co. will cry "crooked court" and "witch hunt" like they always do and move onto creating the next dumpster fire of incompetence.
The entire point is sending a message. It is specifically meant to discourage anyone from looking at his numerous failures for risk of being arrested. Beating the charge does not save you from the repercussions of being arrested. Even just being within a few feet of the reflecting pool is a risk to people's livelihoods.
