Donald Trump turns up at New York fraud trial, complains it distracts from campaign
Donald Trump made a voluntary appearance at his New York civil fraud trial and used it to complain that it is distracting from his campaign to reclaim the White House in 2024.
Good. Breaking the law should inconvenience you.
Has he tried … not doing fraud?
Have some compassion.
Fraud is highly addictive. He needs to be in a fraud rehab center where trained professionals can step him down from treason to committing misdemeanors in a safe, controlled environment.
Treason is debatable with more information than we have available as the public, but he is certainly a traitor to the office, the document, and the people.
Treason has specific definitions he may have met, but we aren't fully aware of yet.
But if it happened, throw the book at him.
Make the Rosenberg's deaths look like the happiest ending.
But that's his entire business
That's like asking him to stop breathing, he has been doing it all his life.
Bro you literally don’t have to be there lmfao
He should punch himself in the face and wear handcuffs and a gag. Really sell it.
He's a horrible person but as of yet nobody has really introduced him to consequences, so his delusions remain intact.
Boo hoo!
This prison is really getting in the way of my life.
"STOP BREAKING THE LAW, ASSHOLE!!!"
Paywalled. :(
Really? I'm using ublock origin on firefox, so I didn't notice it.

clerk in a post on his Truth Social platform. The gag order bars Trump from speaking publicly about court staff.
PROPERTY VALUATIONS The lawsuit by Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James alleges Trump reaped hundreds of millions of dollars in ill-gotten savings by overstating the value of his properties in documents he provided to banks.
Donna Kidder, an accountant for the Trump Organization, resumed her testimony Tuesday, describing the organization’s internal bookkeeping practices and preparation of financial statements.
Kidder was followed on the witness stand by real estate appraiser Doug Larson, who the attorney general's office said valued Trump's 40 Wall Street property at nearly $200 million less than what he listed on financial documents.
Trump has denied wrongdoing and defended the valuations of his properties, saying the case is a "fraud" and attacking both James and the judge overseeing the case.
Trump told reporters outside the courtroom that the true values of his assets including his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida were “close to 100 times” what James’ office claimed.
Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen, a star witness in the case, is expected to testify next week.
Engoron found in September that Trump had engaged in fraud and ordered the dissolution of companies that control crown jewels of his real estate portfolio, including Trump Tower in Manhattan. That ruling is on hold while Trump appeals.
The trial largely concerns damages. James is seeking at least $250 million in fines, a permanent ban against Trump and his sons Donald Jr and Eric from running businesses in New York and a five-year commercial real estate ban against Trump and the Trump Organization.
He cares more about being rich than being president, hence this trial takes president over becoming president.
Bro you literally don’t have to be there lmfao
