New York Attorney General trolls former president as interest starts accruing on monster judgment
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”.
It's game theory. Civility only goes so far. Even if stooping to a lower lever is ultimately a losing move, staying put in civility is too at this point. It's the Prisoner's Dilemma, and unfortunately our opponent has proven beyond the shadow of a doubt to be untrustworthy.
Dipping to "his level" will further galvanize his base, and there will be a number of people who are already on the edge to do more than vote harder.
What strategic value does this have outside of, as another comment said, maybe getting him so angry he makes a mistake that somehow moves the needle in a meaningful way?
I’m pretty sure James can piss him off just by looking at him.
It’s positively Pavlovian at this point. The most hurtful thing you can do to a rich person is fuck with their money. And when they pretend to be far richer than they actually are… it hurts in oh so many ways
Oh, no, you've forgotten: Letitia James is a (a) black (b) woman who he (c) can't control and so has (d) power over him. She doesn't need to look at him to piss him off, she does that by simply existing. Her tweeting has got to be making him absolutely incandescent with rage. If he gets back into power, the first two people he's going after are Letitia James and Fani Willis.
There's taking the low road and then there's joy riding the low road.
Like other comments have stated, maybe this can get in his head and make him fuck up, but this is going to further galvanized his base, and there is a chunk of them that aren't going to be content just voting harder. Moves like this broaden that group.
So yeah. If one or two more nightclubs potentially getting shot up is worth it for the lulz, then by all means.
Eh, it is kinda bad for the AG to be openly taunting him. Petty you know? Then again, thats just what our political system has become lol. Petty shit all around.
Not trying to say this is end of the world horrible or anything ya know? But...yeah. Looks a bit bad.
Because she's an AG and trolling someone online -should be- beneath that position.
I understand that we live in a world now that treats it like it isn't, but this is shameful.
For anyone cheering this behavior on... It's fucking Idiocracy. You're cheering on the end of ANYONE in our government not acting like a grade school bully at recess.
