      And only banned from serving as an officer or director. Engoron cancelled the dissolution order, so he keeps his real estate holdings and his ownership interests.

        That’s just wrong.

          Yep, it’s not like whoever works for his companies isn’t going to take direction from him, regardless of whether he has a title or draws a salary.

      Honestly, the whole ruling is utter bullshit based on both the amount of fraud and Trump and his lawyer’s behavior in court.

        Contempt charges should have been made.

          Absolutely. And if this were someone who wasn’t Trump, they probably would have.

      He’ll either be dead, hiding out in Russia or Saudi Arabia, or president by then.

        I don’t know if Russia or Saudi Arabia will protect him once he is no longer a useful idiot.

          He’s a cult leader. As long as he’s alive and has a platform, he’s useful for destabilizing the US.

            Dead, he’ll be a martyr to MAGA. I think the best hope is demographics, MAGA will age out.

              Trump is too much of a narcissist to be grooming his eventual successor. Which means that when he finally shucks off his flabby mortal coil, there’s going to be a power grab for control of the cult and they usually don’t survive that. Everyone from his children to Marjie Traitor Greene is going to claim they’re the heir to the MAGAt movement.

                Sure, but it soon be reaching a bit when MAGAs are dying of old age faster than new MAGAs are created.

        But not for his kids. And they’ll get to keep Trump Tower in the family.

          but will they really? one, I can see A. LOT. more massive fines being applied here. he owes nearly a half BILLION in fines and penalties now.

          two, he’s no longer nominally in charge. if the monitor says assets need to be sold assets are getting sold.

          and three, being banned by new york from being on or running/owning any corporation is not an insignificant matter. in fact, it would say quite a bit if a company did associate with them after the penalty has expired. “junior and eric trump defrauded new york out of millions of dollars five years ago. you want to hire them on? what if they do that to us?”. were this in a state like wyoming or north dakota where no one lives and no one really cares it would be one thing. but this is in probably the financial capital of country, if not the world. being banned from doing business in a place where business is constantly happening is bad, and people will remember that.
