    Right… The city that had hated his guts long before his presidency is going to be sad about him facing some justice.

      The sentence isn’t enough to drive him away. I think he’s only barred from operating his businesses for 3 years

        Which means he’ll probably just get his shitty children to be figureheads while he pulls the strings behind the scenes.

          i haven’t read the verdict completely, but the law i think bars family as well. the government appoints it’s own people to run the company. it’s kinda wild actually

          Eric and Jr are both barred for 2 years I think. Maybe Ivanka could do it but I think she’s actually smart enough to sit this one out.

        And without him running his businesses (read: committing fraud and tax evasion to make money), there’s a good chance they’ll collapse during those three years. I can’t imagine there’s much actual substance to them.

          I once brushed by teeth with Bengay by accident when I was a kid. My parents had taken everything out of the medicine cabinet and put it on the floor because they were replacing the cabinet and I was pissed off at them and I picked up the wrong tube. Oh my god did it hurt. And then they said I did it on purpose.

          Sorry, I just felt the need to share an inconsequential moment in my life. Please ignore and/or block me.

    Fox verbatim copied this in their headline. In the article they published on their website nothing about the actual fraud that was proven.

    Well they better not make their mass exodus to Pennsylvania, or they’ll be totally confused about where they are when Trump loses and the name changes.

        It will be so woke there, folks. It will be so woke that they’ll welcome all the trans people. And they will change the name! They will change the name that will show the state is part of the woke liberal sleepy Joe Marxism to Transylvania. Some of you might have heard of that place. Dracula came from there. Not a nice guy, Dracula, but he dressed well, didn’t he, folks? He dressed well. DRACULA DID NOT HAVE A LOW FLOW SHOWER, DID HE FOLKS? When I am your president, I promise you will have a shower Dracula will be proud of!

    I predict that very little will actually happen, and that Trump will keep saying stupid shit.

    He’s probably commenting on the state of real estate in NYC. If everyone got called on their square footage claims and mortgages, well, it’d be interesting.

    Louis Rossmann has covered some of this in his videos hunting for store space in NYC.

        It would be in his nature to take the smallest (and most defensible) claim and pretend that’s the whole of it, no?

      I wouldn’t recommend assigning any sort of intelligent agency to his words right now.

      He’s an extreme narcissist. He’s very likely saying this because he thinks that he’s the best at business and so if he leaves, everyone else in business will leave.

      He makes the same claims about losing the presidency or literally anything else. It’s the narcissist last hope. “you don’t know what you’re missing out on by not letting me commit crimes in your state!”

        Por que no los dos? As the other commenter pointed out, the ruling was on much more than square footage.

    Bad news dumbass, they moved to Florida during the height of COVID, much to our chagrin.
