A week into his bank fraud trial, Donald Trump late Thursday night dropped his oddly aggressive lawsuit against the judge overseeing the case—a move that had been seen as a last-minute scramble to avert a potential unraveling of the tycoon’s real estate empire.

But that happened anyway when Justice Arthur F. Engoron concluded the former president was a serial liar who faked the size of his buildings and value of his properties for years, ordering the family business’ licenses to be revoked.

    The judge didn’t doom his company, Trump himself did that because he is spectacularly awful at running a legitimate business.

      He could have been a regular real state developer millionaire but he wanted to be a billionaire so he was always scheming and conniving, remember the stupid phone call in the 80’s from John Barron lmao, his fucken clinical cravenness, that massive hole inside him pushed him to the limit and beyond, now hes utterly fucked and watching him struggle to come to terms is delicious to behold and 2024 will be THE year for the criminal cases, can’t wait.
