He will never be able to pay this off...LMFAO!

Good.
Unfortunately, Trumpers will claim this is political prosecution or whatever though, or as per normal, find some made-up reason why the opposing side should have been disqualified (which will silently be forgotten as they find a new one).
I'm not in the US, but we also have a lot of dodgy rich people who need to get busted here in Australia too, so it needs to be normalised. I used to do installs in high end homes, and there are a lot of rich people who everyone in the industry recognises as dodgy, but simply haven't been prosecuted.
Unrelated, all of their anti-trans BS and such is spilling over here in Australia, so we REALLY need to stop normalizing nonsense like that. It's crazy how the US Republican party has managed to revitalize the anti-vax movement (leading to lots of deaths) and bigotry again.
That's true but it literally doesn't matter what you do the Trumpists will cry foul regardless and facts and reason don't apply to them. I'm just glad the US still has people in positions of power that are willing to go against Trump and actually follow their rule of law. I'm also not American, but as a Canadian I feel dangerously close to what goes on just south of the border and we have our own cadre of ultra right-wingers who are trying to upset Canadian ways in the model of what Trump does. So I'm glad there are judgements against him when warranted even if he'll never pay up and even if the amount he's penalized is a pittance to what he should be penalized and even if his followers cry about it.
Trumpism is a cult. Plain and simple. This is cult behavior.
I realize that's very dismissive, but in this case I think that's a good thing. You could spend years debunking their every claim, anti-fact, and bad faith argument--and there's a time and a place for those discussions--but there's no need to burden your mind with the mountain of their nonsense. You don't have to read the whole Time Cube page to determine that its author isn't worth listening to for astrophysical insights.
I actually think as a plus, that Biden should actually advertise the Gofundme. It's a good way to generate funds for New York and E Jean Carroll (and Trumpers are willing to contribute to those)
