I wanna know who was that one person who donated $500 lol...plus I'm not sure it's money being raised for Trump's defense as much as it's being raised to pay for Trump's fine.

 

 

It's not a fine, it's a clawback of money he shouldn't have gotten through fraudulent practices. And the result of a trial. So the GoFundMe is still outside of their rules. 

 

Ruh roh indeed!

Well, fines are the result of a trial, so it's still a fine lol...

 

And not sure a clawback will be considered "a defense of alleged financial crimes." Although I'm not really sure GoFundMe needs any real justification for shutting down any efforts they deem inappropriate use of their site.

Everyone is saying he didn’t do anything wrong and that all businessmen do the same thing (wonderful we have so many mba grads in the world now) and “ who are the victims”. I don’t know why the media doesn’t report on this more clearly but he overvalued his assets and then when it came time to pay tax he undervalued them (hence the victim is Uncle Sam the one uncle u shouldn’t piss off too much ) but in a way we are all victims of this practice but moving on his is coming from a conservative leaning moderate. Why can’t facts be portrayed more simply…so most people can understand how this is not a victimless crime. This fool is going to get another shot at the presidency and his side will still think the DOJ sec Disney extremseskins.com are all corrupt…without looking at themselves and their shortcomings. Very frustrating not being a democrat right now

An anti-Trump writer summed it up pretty well, when they moved from a more partisan, pro Trump/GOP platform to an anti-Trump platform.  

Quote

Partisan media serves two masters, the truth and the cause.  When they align, all is well.  When they conflct, you choose. If you prioritize the truth, you're a traitor.  If you prioritize the cause you're a propagandist.  [...] Propaganda rots the brain, then the soul.  That's one reason why, when forced to choose, I preferred to be a traitor than a propagandist.

They then basically said under Trumpism the "cause" of conservative media has been less about pushing a narrative againsf traditional liberal media and more defending the authoritarian impulse of Donald Trump.

Donald Trump Wants to Negotiate With Judge Engoron

 

Donald Trump's attorney requested to propose a new judgment on Wednesday in the former president's civil fraud trial ruling, in which Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that Trump will be fined roughly $355 million.

 

In a lawsuit filed in September 2022, New York Attorney General Letitia James accused Trump, his two adult sons Donald Jr. and Eric, The Trump Organization and two firm executives, Allen Weisselberg and Jeff McConney, of fraudulently overvaluing assets to secure more favorable bank loans and taxation deals.

 

On Friday, Engoron ruled that Trump will be fined roughly $355 million and barred from doing business in New York for three years after a monthslong civil trial from late last year into early January. The trial was to decide the damages Trump would face after Engoron found that he committed fraud by inflating the value of his assets. The other defendants in the case have also faced financial penalties and been barred from doing business in New York for periods of time.

 

Trump, the current GOP frontrunner in the 2024 presidential election, has maintained his innocence in the case and claimed it was politically motivated.

 

On Wednesday, Clifford Robert filed a letter in the New York City civil court addressed to Engoron which argues Trump was "deprived" of the chance to speak out against the ruling before it was filed.

 

According to court records, Roberts requested the chance to propose a "counter-judgment" to Engoron's ruling, adding that it would be "contrary to fundamental fairness" if not allowed to submit a counter-judgment.

 

"Defendants therefore request that the Court set a return date for the Proposed Judgment that affords Defendants sufficient time to submit a proposed counter-judgment. To deprive Defendants of the opportunity to submit a proposed counter-judgment would be contrary to fundamental fairness and due process."

So Trump thinks he can negotiate a lower settlement?  Good luck with that.  Probably not going to help that he spent so much time badmouthing Engoron.  I expect a response along the lines of:

Trump is apparently under the impression that he can talk his way out of the judge's decision. He's about to find out, nope. And he's about to find out multiple nopes, starting with the supremes and their nope on immunity. I'm still thinking that they're going to let him be on ballots, which is non-sense given his participation in the coup attempt starting before the 2020 election.
