  2. Why was he even charged with a crime that was NOT committed? Why was the judge allowed to bench this hearing when he was blatantly against Trump BEFORE it took place? Why is the judge allowed to violate the 8th amendment against excessive fines? Why was the judge allowed to value real estate in another state and have it stand? Nothing but a weaponised justice system.

  7. So clever how those scumbags weaponized the local courts against Donald Trump as a way to keep him from running. Just can't wait to see everything he does WHEN he is voted in as the next POTUS.

  11. I'm not into politics but from what I've heard, he did absolutely no different than what almost all other developers do. Plus the loans got repaid, the lenders were happy and there was no victims or damages. Idk, I stay away from politics but the more I see groups trying their hardest to hurt Trump, the more I kind of side with him. I just think back to the early 2000s and 2010s when everyone wanted him to run for President, then when he did he called out a bunch of politicians and corporations and they all suddenly turned on him. Just what I've been seeing. 🤷

  13. It’s a little strange that the judge said his maralago property was only worth 18 million but in like 1980 that place was built for over 20 million…. And 1 acre of bare land around his property is worth millions

  14. The amount of people who don’t understand what net worth means is sad. Hate for a person is clouding the judgement for most and they can’t see what this is doing to developers. If trump goes down, then what would stop other cities from going after other developers.

  15. So unfair what they're doing to this guy. That real estate case was an absolute joke and a disgrace to the political and legal system of America. The fact that more people aren't outraged is insane to me. You can now be targeted and sued even when the so-called "victims" say it is BS and they are happy doing business with you. smh

  18. That is some serious stress. I blame fromer FBI director, James Comey. Without his cowardly and bogus interference, late in the election, Trump would not have been elected President, and his kids would have a better future and this political ruination would not have occurred. All karama.

  25. Theirs not a stupid person who will put up a bond for traitor,criminal Trump. Putin is the only one who will give him the credit. I say credit because if he becomes president he will give America to Putin
