Oh, no doubt he believes that, but even bad lawyers should know better. For the lawyer, at a minimum, it’s free advertising.
This article made me smile.
Following the massive financial fraud penalty Judge Arthur Engoron assessed on Donald Trump on Friday, the former president will likely have to sell off some of his assets and, with the clocking ticking and interest on the potential $450 million owed piling up, possible buyers will have Trump over a barrel.
Speaking with MSNBC host Ali Velhsi on the Saturday morning after the Friday bombshell multi-million dollar financial fraud ruling, Donald Trump biographer Tim O’Brien stated the market for the former president’s properties is already down in a post-Covid economy. Add to that, he noted, potential buyers know he badly needs the money.
They’re gonna grab him by the mushroom and twist.
Though I imagine rubber gloves and tweezers would be involved.
The article explains that Trump will probably have to sell assets at a time when they are at their least valuable, getting pennies on the dollar. Too bad we didn’t have a competent leader when Covid struck that might have mitigated its impact on the US and its businesses. He should be really pissed at that guy.
It’s okay. The dumbasses are throwing money at him.
The page, entitled “Stand with Trump; Fund the $335M Unjust Judgment,” had raised over $63,000 from more than 1700 donors within 21 hours of its creation.
Nice, he’s raised .018%. Bet he doesn’t get much past 1%.
That’s good news.
- That’s, what, 2/3rds of a days interest?
- A few years ago, that number would have been easily in the mid 6-figures. Maybe even over a million.
- Regardless, $63k isn’t shit compared to $523 million ($440m Engoron, $83m Carroll). .00012, or .012%. If I had a hundred dollar debt, this is like you contributing a penny… then asking me to return 98% of the copper.
“Brother, can you spare 2% of a penny?”
Exactly, my expectation is that they’ll get some money but nowhere near the amount needed.
It’s like searching your couch cushions for enough loose change to pay your mortgage. You’ll maybe find enough to get lunch.
Yeah, sneaker heads. That’s his demographic for sure.
There seem to be a good number of people that are donating $5 just so they can insult Trump in the comments.
I don’t see the point. At least GiveSendGo, the usual fundraising site for these clowns, lets you send “thoughts and prayers” for free. I have made liberal use of that feature.
Heh, ISWYDT.
At that rate he needs 14 million more donors in 129,000 years. If I did the math right.
One of the things the article states is that they’ve flagged it as innapropriate as (apparently) GoFundMe isn’t to be used for paying off judgments. I haven’t spent much time there so I cannot speak to it myself, but lots of people are expecting it to be closed quickly, so offereing funds, getting in the insults, and being refunded may not be a bad idea!
“the legal defense of alleged financial and violent crimes;”
is one of the no-nos, and several others probably apply as well.
Yes, I know the link is theoretically to pay the judgment (I left out the ‘e’ this time, a shout out to they-know-who-they-are!) but the article reports one of the cofounders as spreading the following:
He added, “Any amount is welcomed & 100% of funds will be forwarded to Trump Org for his defense of this ridiculous judgment. If this ruling stands, everything you own is at risk.”
So that applies to the terms and conditions I listed at a minimum.
I would imagine that Melania already has hers securely locked away from Donald’s prying fingers. She is not even pretending that she is the loyal wife anymore so he must have already paid her off.
[Lloyd Christmas]So you’re telling me there’s a chance![/LC]
$63,000 in 21 hours is less than the amount of interest by which the judgment increased in that time.
ETA: oops, I just noticed that JohnT already pointed this out.
Verdict Derangement Syndrome. Catch it!!!
Sudden Onset of Verdict Derangement Syndrome Sweeps Through Trump Family
Reactions from Trump and his family to the devastating verdict out of New York.
Trump Jr.: Everyone is screaming about Russia, Russia, Russia, but the reality is what we complain about in Russia is happening right here in the United States.
It should be noted that Russian Opposition Leader Alexei Navalny was killed in Russia.
Trump’s other child, Eric Trump, appeared visibly distraught as he suggested that his father built the New York skyline.
Don the Con also said New York will cease to exist as everyone will leave.
It’s $63,000 not going into candidates’ coffers.
Dammit!
Gilden sneakers up to your ankles?
Sounds perfect for sweaty smelly feet. Pity they don’t seem to include the shoe laces, wonder what colour those should be (as the sole shows red and white does not make the sneakers look classy with gold). I would love to see him try to tie them. I’m still sure he couldn’t do it without his butler, he lacks the dexterity. He probably can’t even reach that far down even when sitting on a chair.
I hope he is allowed to wear them in prison, though. So the other inmates respect him as he deserves.
Is that for real?? I know he’s stupid and has horrible taste, but really?
