The Trump Organization is trying to determine the sweep of Tuesday’s ruling that Donald Trump is liable for fraud and what it means for the future of the former president’s namesake business, his attorneys say.
At a pre-trial hearing Wednesday, Trump attorneys said they didn’t know to which part of the company the ruling applied and were starting to work out what may need to be dissolved to comply with the judge’s surprise decision.
Officials from New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office also said they needed more time to go through the order.
The fraud case “changed significantly since yesterday,” New York Judge Arthur Engoron said in court Wednesday, referring to his stunning ruling where he found Trump and his adult sons liable for fraud and canceled the Trump Organization’s business certification.
I think it’s more damning to see how many eligible voters saw his disastrous administration, and still didn’t vote.
Imagine seeing Trump on the golf course for a literal year out of his term and thinking, “Yeah, I don’t care if that guy wins or loses again.”
Imagine seeing 4 years of the kind of damage Trump can do, running on returning to the exact same status quo that made a demagogue like him all but inevitable, and then shaming everyone who doesn’t think that’s a great idea as indifferent 🤦
I don’t have to imagine it, because that’s exactly what I’m doing.
If anyone thinks America before Trump was just as bad as America during Trump, they literally don’t deserve the right to vote, because they lack critical thinking skills and empathy for their fellow people.
Oh, and PS: your “enlightened centrism” is neither.
I think you’re thoroughly misunderstanding what I’m saying. You’re definitely misunderstanding where I’m coming from.
What I’m saying is that it’s not enough to return to how things were just before Trump, because things were so damn bad for so many people that they (extremely unwisely and in most cases with malicious intent) made TRUMP president.
To go “you know what? We need to do exactly the same things that we had been doing for 30 years when the disaster happened” is absolute lunacy that invites the disaster back.
In case you still can’t tell, I’m not a centrist. I’m a progressive who knows that it’s no longer 1992 like the DNC thinks but also that it’s beginning to smell a lot like 1920s Italy when fascists first came to power while liberals didn’t use what power they had to stop them either.
