Politics Trump - What has he done now???

I don't think we have a thread for this trial .

Trump says he may attend his civil fraud trial in New York after asking to reschedule a conflicting deposition | CNN Politics

If I were the judge in Florida granting the request to delay the deposition I would make it absolutely clear to NPD Trump he had better show up at the trial in NYC.

It would be interesting to see what happens if NPD Trump doesn't appear at the NY fraud trial. Did he not learn anything from the Carroll trial?

OTOH we the taxpayers -- which apparently excludes NPD Trump ‐- are paying for his Secret Service detail. And much of that money is being paid to businesses owned by NPD Trump.


*******
Am I ignorant in thinking not showing up at your trial, even if your absence is entirely legal, is a really stupid thing to do?

 

This is going low, but I gave into temptation.

Melania Trump Renegotiated Her Prenup in Case Trump’s Legal Problems Bleed Him Dry: Report

NPD Trump paying (for) his trophy wife is not new news. Her renogiating the terms, apparantly several times, probably isn't either. At 77 he can't recruit them like he did 20 years ago.

To raise this above gossip, &
tie it to NPD Trump's legal problems...
What if he & his worldly wife are using the prenuptial to hide/protect assets? I'm sure the courts protect the spouse and offspring in some ways, & I'm sure NPD Trump is the person to manipulate those laws.

 

I was too late to edit the above post.
Same subject, more detailed article.

I was thinking of the impression it makes on jury members...which isn't an issue in this trial...unless the upcoming part of this trial does involve a jury (?).

 

This article does a good job of breaking down NPD Trump's fraud trial in NYC.

Trump fraud trial begins in New York on Monday: What to know | CNN Politics


One of his attorneys said there are 400 to 500 entities. He has businesses in other states. There are reports of numerous overseas businesses (some of these are on paper only, just NPD Trump protecting his brand so to say). I previously questioned if anybody, even his accountants, know exactly what is going on with his finances.

 

Bigly is as bigly does. It’s time in the story for the final stumbling fall. As in all bigly stories, there will be many clamouring voices as the hamstrung bellowing beast flounders it’s death throes in the town square.

 

NPD Trump has already lost. What remains to be seen is how much & how. So NPD Trump decides to attack the judge making those decisions. A real genius* move.

* Genius pronounced geh nye us.

 

And here we go...

Judge in Trump's New York civil trial issues gag order after Trump posts about clerk

Please let this lead to the judges in his other cases following suit.

 

That depends on what a "full gag order" means.

NPD Trump probably has the right to make general comments about his trial, which is fair enough (even though I can't stand him).

The huge gray area is how does a judge determine what effect NPD Trump's comments have on the public in general, & his rabid supporters specifically? If we say to hell with his violent supporters we need to be ready, not simply willing, to use violence against them.

A full gag order is extremely tempting, but it could have an unwanted consequence: He could whine about the gag order without actually breaking the gag order.

A full gag order could be a nice trap for NPD Trump. He'll inevitably break it, and when he does the judge could hammer him with sanctions.

Results weighed against consequences.

 

One thing about Forbes, mentioned in one the threads: They still ranked NPD Trump based on the numbers provided by him, even after writing they knew he was very likely providing inflated numbers, & he had pretended to be a financial officer. This' documented by Forbes.

But...yes, a blow to NPD Trump's massive ego.

 

Put foot in mouth.
Remove foot.
Take gun and shoot foot.

Is NPD Trump being an idiot (not a rhetorical question this time) , or is he hoping for some action by Judge Engoron that can be labeled as retaliatory in the inevitable appeal?

 

Before NPD Trump decided to pour more gas on the fire, his attorneys had piled more logs on the fire.

NPD Trump tried to save a few tax bucks with a false business expense. I wonder how much he has spent on attorneys (assuming he has paid at least some of the legal bills)?

 

Trump fraud trial explores who was responsible for his financial statements

"He (Trump) also emphasizes that the documents came with disclaimers that he characterizes as saying the numbers shouldn't be trusted and lenders should do their own homework."

Just out of curiosity, how exactly would a lender access the documents to check the numbers?
