Donald Trump has totally berserk insane late night meltdown about his New York civil fraud trial
The civil fraud trial is set to get underway today to see just how large of financial penalties Donald Trump will receive for his years long pattern of financial fraud. That’s right, the judge has already ruled that Trump committed the fraud, and the trial is strictly to dole out punishment; Trump literally can’t win it.
After Trump spent Sunday whining about golf and talking about how he didn’t want to get eaten by a shark (no really, this happened), it’s now hitting him that tomorrow marks the beginning of his financial destruction. Right around midnight Trump began ranting on social media about his trial, and let’s just say that Trump isn’t in the best headspace.
Trump now insists that he’s going to attend today’s trial in order to “fight for my name and reputation” in the face of a “Trump Hating Judge who is unfair, unhinged, and vicious.” Well okay then. In other words, Trump understands that he’s already lost this trial.
Trump also added this: “The judge, Arthur Engoron, refuses to accept our big win in the Court of Appeals, nullifying much of the case that the racist Attorney General of New York, Letitia James, has charged us with.” To be clear, this did not happen. The Court of Appeals recently ordered that the trial begin on time. Trump added “Nobody can believe it!” Yeah, nobody can believe it because it didn’t happen. This guy is a goner.
Remember, nothing that Donald Trump does in this trial can help him. He’s already lost the case. He can show up, but it won’t change anything. He can testify, but that’ll probably only make things worse for him and result in even larger penalties. The legal system laughs in the face of the petty grandstanding that Trump is now attempting. It’s a surefire way to make things even worse for yourself.
