He's not going to have to show his financials. They'll protect him at any cost. I'm not going to buy any popcorn. Just an ounce of something else to make me less angry.

It's not up to Trump to "defy" jack shit in the combined Mazurs/Deutsche Bank action.

Those actions involve an attempt by Trump to intervene in the enforcement of subpoenas against his accounting firm and his bank. If the court rules that those companies have to comply with the subpoenas, then those companies, which are not controlled by Trump, will comply with the subpoenas. Trump can't stop them from doing that.

Absent some rational description of how you believe Trump is going to keep an accounting firm or a bank from handing over records if the Supreme Court tells them to, then you are simply making stuff up.

There are multiple backdoor threats and behind the scenes machinations that Trump can try and play.

17. You'll only need one bag of popcorn. It will be a 5 - 4 decision for Trump. Watch.
