F U Trump-a-roo.
This Friday afternoon martini is going to taste extra delicious.
Make it a double!
Can he appeal this, though?
Sure. He has 30 days to write a 350 million dollar check as payment or appeal bond.
Edit : Opps. The judgment was $354.9 million, but there’s been $98.6 million of pre-judgment interest, meaning the actual total Trump alone owes is $453.5 million.

As an European I had to convert this and… 10996 square feet is absolutely MASSIVE and I don’t mean just for an apartment in a tower in NYC either. It’s massive for a house in the countryside.
To be fair, they are talking about a triplex, as in 3 units. But still, 10,000 each (if it really was 30,000 sq/ft) is still massive.
On at least one of his towers, they just skip numbering some floors so that the numbers are higher and makes it sound more impressive.
In many US buildings they will skip the 13th floor. Some actually build the thing, and make it unusable to anyone except maintenance, but many literally label the 13th floor as the 14th floor. Superstitious nonsense.
Yeah, I knew about that one too. Building I used to live in went 12, 14a, 14. It was dumb but at least kept the numbering mostly accurate.
I was at the Wynn Las Vegas hotel which gets a lot of guests from China where 4 is unlucky so they skip the 4th, 13th, and 44th floors. The building is technically 45 stories tall but the elevators go up to 56.
doesn’t he like literally never pay debts or fines though? i mean this is for practical purposes useless.
He’s old enough to retire and collect social security. He only does shit because of his own boredom at this point in his life.
And some dingaling supporter has started a GoFundMe to help out the poor guy hit by this very unfair and unjust fine
To help Trump or to grift Trumpets and keep the money?
Hard to say for sure, but the lady sounds like a true believer.
“I’ll vote for him again because he isn’t like the other corrupt politicians”
-My dad
To be fair, Trump is his own class of corrupt.
’ not like the other girls’
Your dad is correct but what he’s either leaving out or failing to realize is that he’s more corrupt than other politicians. He isn’t like them because he’s worse.
You should hear about the fucked up shit his dad did with coney island.
Well now you’re teasing. Please do tell.
Like he demolished Steeplechase, ruined the gut, and displaced African Americans, and forced them to live in old Sumner camps that weren’t designed for winter occupation while not letting then in Trump village, AND collecting relocation fees peer family. https://youtu.be/r6XCs652VDY?si=N-WpoQzxmTk1ez_D
Yikes. Guess douchbaggery runs in the family. Thanks for the reply.

The financial penalty reflects those lost profits, with nearly half of the $355 million — $168 million — representing the interest that Mr. Trump saved, and the remaining sum representing his profit on the recent sale of two properties, money that the judge has now clawed back from Mr. Trump and corporate entities he owns.
$354 million here…
$83.3 million to E. Jean Carroll
$5 million on the first E. Jean Carroll case…So $442,300,000 - Yow!
He better start writing some checks before there’s a land rush for Trump Tower.
Because of the $100 million debt, Forbes magazine calculated the tower’s net worth at $371 million
He has to wait to grift money from his cult of followers to pay for this again. $100 says they make merch to sell off this shit.
Called it: https://lemmy.world/post/12090995
from what I have read, this $450 million fine must come from assets, and not campaign funds.
I don’t know about the e jean money, but for this he’s going to have to eat himself.
and just remember, the republican national committee currently has $8 million in the bank in an election year, that the new leadership promises will 100% go to elect trump. the money that’s leftover from paying his legal bills that is.
It irks me that while Trump is usually called by his last name, like all men, when people talk about women they casually use their first names like Hillary or, in this case, E Jean. It’s such a casual and mindless form of disrespect that few seem to notice.
Edit: WTF, no, Clinton’s last name wasn’t “already taken” by her husband. That’s even more disrespectful. You can easily infer who is referred to from context, using her full name or even “Ms Clinton”.
Is that broadly true? Hillary is Hillary because “Clinton” would obviously refer to Bill, since he was President. She also embraced the first name reference in her campaign materials. What about other famous women? Margaret Thatcher is Thatcher, J.K. Rowling as Rowling, Angela Merkel is Merkel. On the other side Bernie Saunders is Bernie. Perhaps calling someone by their first name is a sign of affection, not disrespect?
I think in Hillary’s case it could be that Clinton was already taken by her husband.
Why the fuck not prison?
Well, there wouldn’t have been prison in any case from this trial, as it was a civil suit, not a criminal one. But, he is facing 91 felony charges in total spread across a few cases that are currently working their way through the court, so maybe. Probably not. But maybe.
And here I thought fraud was a criminal matter.
Good point. Silly me.
It’s still an interesting question. Why was this a civil case rather than criminal?
And there’s no great answers. Basically a lot of it comes down to civil being easier to win and a safer bet than criminal proceedings.

Hurting his finances is arguably more effective. Going to jail makes him a martyr to his supporters, and he can appeal a criminal charge until he dies. Taking his money makes him a loser right now.
Also, doesn’t a criminal fraud charge requires a victim, meaning a complainant that can show they have lost money as a result of the defendant’s actions? I’m sure those people exist, but that’s not what this particular trial was about. However, maybe others will come forward now that he has lost this trial.
liquidator brunt approves.
he’s only barred from controlling his businesses for 3 years? that doesn’t seem like a big deal
He may not live another three years (hopefully).
looks like he’s got a lot of energy to me
His motor mouth doesn’t stop running but he’s hardly a picture of health and he’s getting on in years.
I work in a hospital. I’ve seen patients that have had full signs of life, nothing indicating that they might die within the next 12 hours, but guess what? When I came in for my next shift? Boom. Dead. It’s the weirdest thing. And alternatively, patients who look like death can cling on to life for months and months and months.
so he’s definitely dying then it’s what you’re saying
On a long enough timeline…
Not in the Sylvia Plath sense of the word…
Exactly. That ruling is symbolic. They’ll just put someone in place that still carries out his wishes.
I don’t think anyone affiliated is allowed to make an appointment
It’s naive to think that if the businesses are allowed to continue, and they continue to bear his name, that he won’t maintain some form of control. The man may be stupid in a lot of ways, but he and his allies are perfectly capable of getting the right people into the right positions to do his bidding - and that presumes that those people aren’t already in place.
Trump is a loser.
This is the takeaway we need to impress on a MAGA crowd, that is immune to all the immorality and treason.Come up with the money or secure a bond within 30 days
Or what? Does anyone think he’s actually going to pay?
He’s going to Alex Jones it at worst, and at best do the same but smarter.
Does anyone think he’s actually going to pay?
Then they seize his assets to cover it. Trump Tower goes to public auction.
Hahahahahaa… ahhh beautiful
