As Ted Lasso said: "Believe!". I could be wrong. It happens all the time. But this judge and prosecutor don't mess around.
I believe that as James digs into the "books" she may find out that the "most successful real estate developer in NYC" is a fake. A phony.
The profits in such bonds are easy money. If he couldn't get a single firm to provide one, I think we may find that there is nothing really there. Nothing that would back the bond. I think the Orange Menace is about to be embarrassed big time.
It has been my position, ever since he refused to release his tax returns, that his "empire" was a house of cards built on bullshit, and that, in reality, he is flat-assed broke
Yup. Why else would he make a fool of himself by selling playing cards or golden sneakers? In a time not too long ago, his fraudulent use of Trump University would have ended ANYONE's career. Instead the Kool Aid drinkers keep sending him money. One con after another.
We should continue to be appalled at what he gets away with. Because I BELIEVE that we will return to a sense of legal and moral standards re: public figures once we wake up from this nightmare.
I remember articles about the rising star of New York real estate...But the day he signed up to be on "reality tv" everyone who was paying attention, knew what New York had known for years: trump is a loser. It's Karma that a New York Court is bringing him down in a very public way.
I agree, except for the nice cash injections he got from foreign governments, income from his DC hotel, lodging billed to secret service. Not sure if he ever pulled off deals renting out his golf properties for government events... Clearly, being re-elected is his best/only shot at making money and staying out of prison.

If only they could tax the bullshit, he'd likely be the biggest taxpayer in the country.

Excellent points! "I am really rich, but (ahem) nobody will lend me a dime." Will that bring anybody to their senses?
