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

This. NYC hated Trump for years before any of the rest of us even knew who he was.

Back in the late '80s and early '90s Trump always made the top 10 of Spy magazine’s “100 worst people, places or things” feature. In 1987 (when he was #3 on the list), his only mitigating factors were “didn’t run for office” and “offered to pay for the funeral of child killed by bear”. I’m willing to bet he never actually paid for the funeral.

My favorite Trump story. He lucked into a chance to make the Manhattan elites love and respect him, and threw it away because of his own greed, arrogance, and stupidity.

It’s so pathetic to me that Trump named one of his sons after his alter ego.

I like to imagine that Fred Trump vetoed ‘Barron’ while he was alive, and that’s why Eric is ‘Eric’

Whenever Trump “predicts” something, it’s code for telling his base to do that thing.

NYC may actually have trouble maintaining a police department if the trumpets march out. Could you imagine his face if Trump accidentally created the first large majority left-wing police department?

if that happens, does that mean when he shows up for a campaign stop, they’ll look the other way if I punch him in the face?

I mean, he has a very punchable face.

NYC has an army more than a police force. They could use some trimming.

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.
