A week into his bank fraud trial, Donald Trump late Thursday night dropped his oddly aggressive lawsuit against the judge overseeing the case—a move that had been seen as a last-minute scramble to avert a potential unraveling of the tycoon’s real estate empire.
But that happened anyway when Justice Arthur F. Engoron concluded the former president was a serial liar who faked the size of his buildings and value of his properties for years, ordering the family business’ licenses to be revoked.

He could have been a regular real state developer millionaire but he wanted to be a billionaire so he was always scheming and conniving, remember the stupid phone call in the 80’s from John Barron lmao, his fucken clinical cravenness, that massive hole inside him pushed him to the limit and beyond, now hes utterly fucked and watching him struggle to come to terms is delicious to behold and 2024 will be THE year for the criminal cases, can’t wait.
He could’ve kept a low profile and gotten away with everything. Now things are seemingly starting to tip the other way.
All because he wanted to be president? Surely he’d know that doing so would invite the highest levels of scrutiny. Sheesh.
Well, he expected to lose, and then leverage grievances from that into more safe grifting. Instead he was forced into a job he didn’t want, half-assed it, but managed to get himself into trouble.
But he found out “Presidents are above the law” so it turned into a pretty good gig for him as a serial criminal. Emoluments be damned. But he kept criming because he’s never faced consequences ever, and crimed to hide other crimes.
You’re right, though. That Jenga tower is seriously wobbling.
That’s such a succinct summation of his presidency.
IIRC he wanted to start Trump TV or something like that so it was a publicity stunt to start with. Problem was the dog caught the car.
I don’t think he ever wanted to be president. If you can find the footage of election night when it was announced that he won, the look on his was terror. Like he realized in that fraction of a second that he was in over his head.
I do however think he looked at all the other politicians lining their pockets and decided he wanted some of that action.
Of course this isn’t his first attempt. Does anyone here remember when he tried to get the Democratic nomination?
He thought Oprah would be willing to be his VP. Lol. He’s the VP of those two.
Yeah he was shocked, and his daughter was openly crying, and those weren’t happy tears.
He was surprised he became president. All the political wonks thought Clinton was going to win.
His “business model” for his entire fucking life has been seeking attention and then leveraging his fame (or notoriety) to make money. If he’d ever kept a low profile, he would now just be a weird-looking old fat guy with a shitty haircut and orange skin.
That’s not a haircut, that’s an obscenely expensive hand weaved mat of his own hair. Basically a very expensive hair piece that looks worse and costs more.
How is this not just admitting that the lawsuit was a form of Extortion?
I mean, it basically is. But nothing will be done about it.
One item, he said his 10,000sqft apartment was 30,000sqft. I mean when I was in my 20s I lied about my penis size but come on… nobody is going to believe that.
So … you always trippled it, when someone wanted to know?
Only way to make it seem normal 😂
Except all NYC places do this… You can go visit a business space for rent that claims 1800sqft… and when you measure it it’s 800sqft. Out of all the things to latch onto, this is a dumb one if you know anything about NYC real-estate. It’s been this way for decades (I left there in 2006, and it’s still this way.)
That’s interesting, I’ve googled examples and haven’t had any luck finding any articles on this. Would you be able to point me in the right direction?
Louis rossmann has a few videos on his channel about this problem when he was looking for a new space in new York.
I love watching him flail around and tryin to use his old same dumb tactics, this is the fun part, lets hope they gag him and the security agencies are on high alert in case one or several of his cult members tries something cute
He probably had to drop it because his lawyers wanted paid up front to represent him.
Why can’t poor people just do something like that and be able to drop it on a whim.
