New York Attorney General trolls former president as interest starts accruing on monster judgment

A $455m judgment against Donald Trump is increasing by more than $110,000 each day due to interest penalties.

And New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is preprared to seize his assets if necessary, is not going to let Mr Trump forget.

When the final judgment in the sprawling fraud trial against Mr Trump, his adult sons Donald Jr and Eric Trump, and former Trump Organization executives was approved on Friday, the attorney general’s X account posted the exact figure down to the last cent.

Twenty four hours later, her account wrote: “+$114,553.04”.

    His plan is to become president and make those things go away. Seriously. How they go away isn’t important to him, so the calamitous side effects it would cause would be of none of his concern.

    Of course it doesn’t work that way in a democracy. So they’re doing away with that too. If you’re an autocrat, suddenly state attorneys general don’t really have any power over you.

      You say it doesn’t work that way yet this person’s entire career is one that proves that these systems don’t work.

      He has largely been immune from consequence and until this actually starts to show teeth then it’s just more of the same.
