Donald Trump on Wednesday launched fresh vitriol against the judge and prosecuting attorney in his New York business fraud trial, carefully skirting a gag order imposed on him just a day prior.
Trump tried Tuesday to bully a court clerk, sharing false conspiracies about her as well as her personal information. Presiding Judge Arthur Engoron issued a gag order later that day prohibiting all parties involved in the case from publicly discussing court staff.
While Trump avoided mentioning court staff on Wednesday, he went all out with attacks against Engoron and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
“This is election interference. They made up a fake case, these fraudulent people,” Trump told reporters. “And the judge already knows what he’s gonna do. He’s a Democrat judge. In all fairness to him, he has no choice.… He’s run by the Democrats.”
You’re spot on. And what’s worse (for Trump), is that he wouldn’t even get the proceeds from sales of the properties. If he was forced to sell all the properties and was allowed to keep the money, it would at least add to his bank account total. That’s something he values even more than being loved by the NY elites.
But no, he wouldn’t keep the proceeds and he might actually be fined hundreds of millions of dollars on top of all this. The “Trump is a genius billionaire business man” part of his ego has been seriously wounded and is rapidly deflating.
Now if only Florida weren’t in his pocket, they could access Mar-A-Lago’s value at $1 billion for tax purposes. After all, that’s what Trump said it was worth and he must be telling the truth, right?
