Fraud

Donald Trump has been ordered to pay $354 million in fines for defrauding lenders who were never defrauded. He paid back all of the loans in question, on time, as required by the loan agreement. He did not miss payments. The banks didn’t have hire collection agencies to come after the money he owed them. He didn’t need the government to bail him out of unsustainable debt. No, he paid back all of the loans, and everybody involved made millions and millions of dollars, especially the banks.

In the trial, Trump’s lawyers were limited in their ability to offer evidence in his defense; and the judge made a summary judgment, as if he were the King of England, pronouncing guilt without proper due process. The verdict was a foregone conclusion. And on top of that, Donald Trump must pay $450 million in fines and interest just to be able to exercise his Constitutional right to appeal this unconstitutional verdict. There is speculation that Trump will have to sell off parts of his real estate empire to be able to pay to have his appeal even heard.
