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”.
I appreciate the level headed reply.
Genuinely asking though. How does this move help?
Dipping to “his level” will further galvanize his base, and there will be a number of people who are already on the edge to do more than vote harder.
What strategic value does this have outside of, as another comment said, maybe getting him so angry he makes a mistake that somehow moves the needle in a meaningful way?
Perhaps there are supporters whom it will galvanise, but think there are probably more “potential supporters” who will be turned off.
It’s a regular, powerful reminder that Trump is a liar, fraud, criminal and not really great at business person things.
