Breaking news:

Judge Arthur Engoron ordered the former president and the Trump Organization to pay over $350 million in damages, and bars Trump "from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation or other legal entity in New York for a period of three years."

He also continued "the appointment of an Independent Monitor" and ordered "the installation of an Independent Director of Compliance" for the company.


He better start grifting the grannies some more.

...or other legal entity in New York for a period of three years.

Disappointed it's only for three years. I suppose the judge gave reasons, but why not 5 or 10, or for the remainder of Trump's life?

That'll be 30 trillion....

And all you have to show for it now is World War 3, dysfunctional country, and crumbling democracy.

Record oil drilling and your planet getting warmer.

In other words:

HAHA

I wondered if Trump could just not pay it and get away with it, but the realized part of the job of the Independent Monitor and Independent Director of Compliance would be to see that it's paid. Now I wonder if they can sell assets to pay. I'd sell Mar-a-Lago for $18 million and say - see? 😄 😎 Just joshin.

I'm assuming this is appealable, and he will appeal.

If it sticks, three years should mean the death of his business. He still has Mar-a-Lago, but I think Trump Tower is his crown jewel. That one is in NYC. And most of the hotels that paid for his name worldwide have torn his name off their buildings. So they aren't paying him anymore (I assume).

Of course, as written, I would think one of his kids could run the businesses, and they would be in compliance with the order. In which case, the Trump organization keeps on going. As long as Don Sr doesn't get involved.

Nope. Junior and Eric cannot serve as officers or directors of any corporation or legal entity in NY for two years. That leaves Ivanka, who was also initially a defendant until an appeals court dismissed the case against her. And Tiffany, I suppose.

OK. Ivanka and/or Jared. Ivanka is probably smarter than either brother, and less corrupt than them.

I don't know much about Tiffany. She seems to keep her distance from the fray. Perhaps she isn't interested in the business at all?? No clue. That, or Trump doesn't like her, and so excludes her.

Ivanka has her incestuous share of lost fraud trials under her girdle.

Meanwhile, inre MAGAmorning quarterbacks:

"I love the comments from people who have been repairing tractor motors for 30 years in Frog Balls, N.Dakota suddenly and magically becoming experts about the civil appellate process."

MAGA mastered virology and immunology in days...some even in a few minutes tutored by fakebook and fox news expert hosts. their gut just tells them what real science sounds like.
