Trump lashes out after New York fraud ruling

Source: The Hill

Former President Trump on Friday lashed out against a judge’s ruling banning him from running companies in New York for three years and ordering him to pay more than $350 million as part of a closely watched fraud case.

In a series of posts on his Truth Social platform after the decision, Trump railed against judge Arthur Engoron and said there “were No Victims, No Damages, No Complaints.”

He went on to further criticize Engoron and New York Attorney General Letitia James in multiple posts, saying the New York case was a “witch hunt,” and that he was fined “$355 Million based on nothing other than having built a GREAT COMPANY.”

Trump, in another post, called the decision an “unAmerican judgment against me, my family, and my tremendous business.”

He's never been held responsible for any of his larger crimes before. Sure, he had to refund a few million for his "university" before, and smaller grifts than that, but he's always skated on his big ticket grifts. Until now. He doesn't have that much cash and I'm sure the NYS court system isn't going to take a Trump IOU.

The Trump "brand", which he's always valued in the billions of dollars, isn't worth the toilet paper stuck to the heel of his shoe now. If he appeals this, and he will, he'll have to put the cash up front. Where's he going to get it? His MAGAts can't make a dent in that amount.

Old Donnie must be sweating bullets from every pore in his orange hide right now . I'd love to see "BREAKING NEWS" come on the TV, that an ambulance (or better yet, the county coroner) has just carted away His Assholiness to the proper receptacle. I'm 74, but I could get these heels kicking in the streets for such a joyous occasion. 🥳

Showed a picture of Trump this morning, his face was blood red!

His sons were fined 2 million each and no business in. NY for 2 years! I wondered why the discrepancy.

MSNBC WAITED BREATHLESSLY FOR trumps statement last night ,showing the door. CNN did not even show him. I am switching to CNN.

personally, IMHO, they (the sons) should have been fined more, after all, they were there w/ dad all of the way, watched and witnessed his thief of state/fed money all of the way.

if a psychiatrist sat *rump down and explained to him in 2-year old terms how and why his sentence "...No Victims, No Damages, No Complaints" is wrong, the psychiatrist would end up eventually reaching for the valium. There is just no way this psychopath understands how his actions impact anyone under him, or the greater world as a whole. There isn't just something *wrong* with his brain, I'd swear there's whole pieces of his brain missing -- any piece that deals with empathy and humanity. I've always been up for a convo on Nature vs Nurture. But there are times, like this, when it's just so obvious that there's been a birth defect in the man. Thalidomide babies were born without limbs. Other babies have other mental defects, or physical defects. I think I count *rump as among these. He's been defective from birth. I guess I'm a horrible person to think he should have been a miscarriage or abortion. It sure would have saved the world a heck of a lot of pain and heartache.

and asked him to count to 10. He said, “2, 4, 6, 8, 10.”

Then they put it back, and removed the right half of his brain and asked him to count to 10. He said, “1, 3, 5, 7, 9.”

Finally they removed his entire brain and asked him to count to 10. He said, “Oh I can count to 10. Believe me. People are saying I can count to 10 better than anyone in the history of our country. If you ask me to count to 10, I will count to 10 the likes of which no one has ever seen before.”

Shamelessly stollen from Reddit.

I doubt TSF has a positive net worth at all. We're going to find out pretty quickly. I just wish his personal/financial collapse happened in the early fall - after he stumbled through the RNC convention making fools out of the entire gop. Or what was left of it.

To appeal. If he has it. So far the Court is steering clear of his mess. They let the 3 Judge appeal stand.

They may be Republicans but if they stand with Trump the stain will nebver leave them. They are quite aware of that.

I would be very hesitant to say a judge is "corrupt" for fear of a contempt charge. Contempt not in the presence of the court is procedurally more difficult but not impossible.
