    I guarantee you Trump would pay way more than $300m if it meant dodging 10 years in prison.

    Just because he has money (debatable) shouldn’t mean he should get a pass where other people wouldn’t.

      Agreed, but I’m so used to see rich people never get shafted in any way that this is a pleasant surprise. Luckily for us, Trump had the bright idea to fuck over bankers instead of poor people

        That’s the thing, he fucked over rich people, you can fuck over all the poor people you want and it’s fine, but fuck over one rich dude with the slightest pull and you’re done, that’s what happend to that FTX guy, he fucked over rich dudes and now he’s going to jail.

      I agree money shouldn’t give you a pass, since that would signify that justice is determined by money.

      If he could get the money. Considering the amount of grifting going on in the Trumpyverse just to pay some of the legal bills, I have a hard time believing that Trump would be able to come up with 300m without selling properties.

        For 35 years all his funding has come from Russia. Eric said so. $300m not a problem. Kompromat.
