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”.

Oh, I like her.
I wish I could earn in a year what he lost in a day. It would solve so, so many hardships I face in life.

F him for grifting so damn much
She screamed at Cuomo and made him sign for legal cannabis in NY after that bastard was gonna delay it another year.

She doesn't back down to anyone.

Let's be clear: this lady rocks. Good on her - and the million victims of this "victimless" crime. The people of New York.
The funny part is how so far Trump hasn't posted a bond for the appeal. Trump doesn't *have * to do it but the consequences of not doing so are basically calamitous - if he doesn't post bond then the state can seize and sell off his property to the amount he owes. Then both sides fight about it for a year or whatever while the money sits in the court's account and he is deprived of revenue from the properties sold. Oh and the interest keeps accruing. And the lawyer bill will be in the tens of millions.

I'm sure the state won't be sensitive to his reputation when deciding what to seize to cover the debts. Can you imagine the hilarity that would ensue if they sold off Trump Tower or one of his other flagship properties?

So Trump is screwed. If he does somehow post bond there will be a lot of people asking how he managed it since he surely doesn't have the cash. In that case expect firesales of his other properties and loans from super shady foreign businessmen.
I assume the interest is compounding so the amount should increase each day.

I stand corrected. It's simple interest. I'm genuinely surprised by this.
Top trolling
and that is the perfect response to Dumps "peek-a-boo" shit
Keep the pressure on him. This how it should be.
Oh my god this is glorious.
How's that GFM holding up? Still beating interest, or have the rubes finally run out of dosh?
I'm here for it!
Does Trump need money to be president?
Where is the link to her Twitter
She also needs to live tweet a daily countdown timer on when she can start liquidating his assets.
With the power/money associated w/ the position, I wouldn't be surprised if 100K/day was a laughably small amount for the orange fuhrer..
Fuck Trump, but this is a bad look.

Edit: Hey, look at that. The downvotes are keeping track of how many of you peaked in high school. Neat.
