Not only does Letitia James want Donald fined $370 million and BANNED from conducting any New York real estate business for LIFE…it’s EVEN WORSE for him. Here is what you need to know. Read on 👇
While everyone is focused on Letitia James’ request in court today, I will provide some analysis and also a very big piece of information that the corporate media is missing. But first:
Donald’s nightmare number one
Today was a blockbuster day for Letitia James and an awful one for Donald. And when I say awful, I truly mean one of the worst days in his life. Donald has already been found liable for fraud and is simply waiting for the judge to determine how much he will be forced to pay. Considering how rock solid New York’s case against him has been, Donald is screwed.
When James first brought her fraud case against Donald alleging that he’d fraudulently inflated his property values—and also deflated them when it benefited him—she estimated that he and his company should be liable for at least $250 million in fines.
As the trial proceeded, however, the extent of Donald’s “outrageous” fraud was revealed to be even greater than James initially thought. That culminated in James’ asking for Donald and the Trump Organization to be fined a $370 million for his "ill-gotten gains," plus interest - a staggering and historic number.
Donald’s nightmare number two
Knowing Donald as I do, I know that it’s the second request by Letitia James that will really get under his skin.
In her filing, James urged Judge Engoron to issue the "necessary and appropriate" step of banning Donald from "participating in the real estate industry in New York State” for the rest of his life.
Donald spent his entire adult life creating an image that he was a real estate genius at the top of his game. This was his obsession and a fantasy, built entirely on the back of my grandfather’s success, a lifetime of lies and bank loans, and Mark Burnett’s tragic decision to center the Celebrity Apprentice around a failed businessman. Now, Donald’s house of cards is about to collapse - along with my grandfather’s legacy…a truly fitting end for both men.
Donald’s nightmare number three
While a possible $370 million fine and a lifetime New York real estate ban would rock Donald’s world, there is one very realistic outcome that could send set Donald on the brink of ruin: being forced to sell Mar-a-Lago.
For that possibility, I spoke with attorney Joe Gallina who told me just how likely that scenario really is. Here’s what he told me:
“First, you have to remember that the holding company for Mar-a-Lago, the Trump Organization, has already been disbanded. So what does that mean for Mar-a-Lago?
While Florida has some residence protection laws, they have only ever applied to traditional residences. Mar-a-Lago, a members-only club with guest rooms, is not a normal residence. The property is also not protected from Engoron’s coming ruling,” Gallina said.
“So could Donald be forced to liquidate his properties held by the Trump Organization, including Mar-a-Lago?
The answer is yes,” Gallina concludes.
One thing is certain, if Donald is indeed forced to liquidate Mar-a-Lago, I have some ideas about how the property can be repurposed—and I’m throwing a party. Are you coming?
Donald’s nightmare number four
Here’s the thing, exposing Donald’s transgressions is exhausting. But news days like today give me hope. I want to share as much good news with you as possible, but first let’s make sure Donald doesn’t get away with his many alleged crimes
The more support I get from you, the more resources I have to spread the truth where it matters most. I’m only 2 spots away from becoming one of the top 10 political newsletters on Substack. Can you help me get there by upgrading?👇
If I get there with your help, Donald’s nightmares are just getting started because there will be no silencing me.
Mary, when you send out the “Donald Is Screwed” party invitations, I’ll be ready!! 👠👠👗👒
"I said some things about him — not nearly as bad as I could have said ... but I just talked about him not being a self-made man, having money from his father, and saying he went bankrupt — and it made him go berserk," she told The Daily Beast this week. "He went on a tirade for a good decade that hasn’t ended today."
