    Not really a legally compelling argument.

    There is nothing more helpful for a Billionaire that owes a few hundred million to a woman he raped and a state he defrauded than giving your hard earned social security check over to him. Please click on the link below or the picture below in order to get directly to his "Save America" website also known as "Save an American Billionaire" where you can give him all the hard earned money you want.

    Ok. Anybody with a lick of sense knows he'll appeal it(are you with me so far) also most would agree the amount of the is just plain stupid and no normal judge would have fined him that. Only a far wacko would think other wise

    So you're suggesting that he will be able to hit up the sheep of MAGA nation for the over the $400 million that he owes so far (this lawsuit plus the E. Jean Carroll defamation judgment) and that doesn't include the legal fees in this case, the defamation case and the three criminal cases in which he is a defendant.

    Appeals may be successful ~10% of the time and you think he has a “great chance”? Mmkay.

    The lawyer's big lie, "Don't worry, we'll appeal."

    No arguing guilt, I see. Just amounts.

    Here’s a link with the court’s decision.
    Read the full decision in Trump's New York civil fraud case

    I don’t expect you to read all 92 pages but start at 75 for conclusions of law, or page 81 to see how the court calculated the disgorgement of profits. You’ll see that $168MM of the disgorgement is a direct result of of fraudulent SFC filings allowing him to take advantage of lower interest rates than he should have qualified for, another $126MM for the Old Post Office deal that wouldn’t have happened without fraud in the acquisition, and $60MM for the Ferry Point deal.

    It’s also worth noting that the judge also assessed prejudgement interest which in New York is a simple 9%. That means the interest owed will be another $135MM since the date was set as March 4, 2019 for all but the Ferry Point deal which adds another $6MM. In sum, he’s currently on the hook for a cool $500MM. No biggie for a double-digit billionaire, right?

    I think the link is simply a site trying to sell the elevator music that is playing to Trump fans under the fake premise there is a press conference. LOL

    I’m not sure how this works, but Alex Jones was fined the GDP of Romania and he’s still going strong.

    This is incredible. I love it. He's an awful human being and he deserves every bad thing coming his way.

    It'd be shame if President Trump was re-elected and had to find something wrong going on in the southern district. Be a shame if some people had to go to prison and this decision was overturned.

    Trump +5... (probably +7 now with this news)
