Donald Trump is facing a $250 million penalty and a ban on doing business in New York when a judge renders his verdict later in January.

The new year could be off to a rough start for Donald Trump.

The former president is facing $250 million in penalties and a ban on doing business in New York when the judge overseeing his civil fraud trial delivers a verdict in the case later in January.

The Manhattan Supreme Court trial — which has been on hiatus since Dec. 13 — is set to resume with closing arguments on Jan. 11, and Justice Arthur Engoron has said he hopes to have a decision in the non-jury case by the end of the month.

    His campaign will have his voting base pay for this. They would do anything for their orange king. They donated $200 Mil to him the month after his 2020 loss.

      Saw some post back then about people donating their life’s saving to Trump. Always thought those are just jokes or memes, but now I’m not so sure anymore.

        I dont think it was a joke, I think its actually happened.

        Some voluntarily

        Some not so voluntarily, cause some of the donation links they set up were recurring donation links (which they told no one about being recurring) so if you donated like…200, then it’d pull 200 every month from you. IIRC there was a legal case about it and i think they had to refund?

        Its hard to keep track of all the legal cases hes been involved in.
