My thoughts lately when I step back from shittypants and his lies about himself and where he was before his show and 'political' career and how much money he acquired and look at him throughout media recorded history and his history of women and narcissism.

And I just look at his actions as a plain person.

I see someone who is mentally stunted at 15 years old. His whole life other people have done the work and given him the money. Other people have made all his decisions right up to today. He is fixated on teenagers because that's his maturity level. He's easily swayed. He has no concept of consequences something teenagers struggle with. "I know what you are, but what am I" signs of mentality, again juvenile levels. No sense of history, or knowledge or even rudimentary schooling.

And because of his money, no one is willing to go against him or they risk losing their own money or standing that they established by leeching off the phony shittypants himself. shittyhead owns people he doesn't even know because the other people are leeches off a criminal who fear they will lose what they gamed off the nutjob.

Hewhoshitsinpants is a moral moron and low IQ user who took Daddy's money and enslaved people in his empire. They are all hypocrites held together by a literal child emperor with no clothes and a world of lies.

hewhoshitsinpants is just a stupid phony clown with orange face paint. And everyone knows this but enriches themselves just the same.

It's a shame that it's taking the whole country to shut this jackass down.

When all is said and done, Donald Trump will be borrowing money from his son-in-law. Possibly to cover his monthly allotment to buy items from the commissary and to use the telephone, visitation services, etc.

Donald Trump was back in court today. This time, as the former president answers for his business dealings in New York, his empire could be at stake. The self-described property mogul has already been found liable for “persistent and repeated” fraud in this civil trial. David Cay Johnston is a Pulitzer Prize-winning economics reporter. He joins the show to discuss what this means for the Trump organization.

Originally aired on October 2, 2023

DKJ - He is not a successful businessman. What he does he "rips people off, than moves on to his next victim." His TO cannot do business
in NY state. Eventually the 500 businesses in the Trump Organization will be sold off for fire sale prices. He might even lose Mar-a-Lago.

3 things that stood out on Day 1 of Trump's New York fraud trial

"Donald Trump’s lawyers ask judge to clarify fraud ruling’s impact on ex-president’s business"

It was alternately explosive and dull, but at all times, it was a uniquely Trumpy day in court.

By Lisa Rubin

I sat in a courtroom on Monday at 60 Centre Street, the crown jewel of Manhattan state courts, to watch the start of a trial .. https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/deadline-legal-blog/trump-fraud-trial-new-york-business-sons-rcna118075 .. that is essentially about Donald Trump’s crown jewels: his vaunted portfolio of commercial and residential real estate.

The trial — which will be decided by a judge, not a jury — will determine whether Trump, his eldest sons and others falsified business records, filed false financial statements, and committed insurance fraud by intentionally exaggerating and deflating the stated value of those properties. And it will also determine the appropriate penalties .. https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/watch/-an-existential-threat-to-what-matters-to-him-most-inside-trump-s-historic-civil-fraud-trial-194257477894 .. for Trump and others, potentially including the "disgorgement" of $250 million or more — and even the forced dissolution of his real estate empire.

Here's what stood out during Monday's proceedings .. https://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/at-nyc-trial-not-a-matter-of-if-trump-is-liable-for-fraud-but-how-much-he-pays-194207813534 .. in Trump's civil fraud brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James' office.
Team Trump appealed to multiple audiences, but not the actual decision-maker

Based on the opening statements, it wasn’t always clear what this case was about. After all, Trump lawyer Chris Kise’s presentation was a detailed, if at times ponderous, review of generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and the elasticity of GAAP where real estate valuation is concerned.

At times, it felt academic, if not like a rough sketch of the appellate argument Team Trump has been clear they are already planning to make. By contrast, though, Alina Habba, who, at this point, is one of Trump’s longest-serving surrogates and lawyers, zoomed out to the 50,000-foot level — while floating in the clouds of the case. Yet her opening was hardly placid. Fiery and combative, she insisted Trump persistently undervalued his trophy properties, including Mar-a-Lago, which she maintained would easily fetch $1.5 billion on the open market, and his Doral golf course and resort, which she asserted would command a similar price.

Kise and Habba could not have been more different in tone or approach, but their openings shared one key attribute: Neither seemed to be geared to the sole decision maker here, Manhattan trial judge Arthur Engoron. Instead, if Kise was practicing for appeals to come, Habba’s audience was their visibly riled-up client.

Even inside the courtroom, Trump's anger was apparent

When I attended Trump’s June arraignment .. https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trump-arraignment-inside-courtroom-rcna89158 .. in the federal, classified documents case, he did not seem happy, but his overall demeanor was stoic, even calm. On Monday, however, Trump's fury was on full display, even when he was simply attending the trial. He shook his head and crossed his arms as Engoron spoke. He even physically prodded Kise during discussions about trial logistics, such as the validity of subpoenas Trump served on the accounting firm Mazars on the eve of trial and the mechanics of testimony from former Deutsche Bank employee Nicholas Haigh.

A dramatic exit — and a dry witness examination

But nothing compared to the drama of one of Trump’s exits, when he walked slowly past James, seated in the first row, narrowed his eyes, and glared at her. That look might even have been his entire reason for attending the trial on Monday.

It certainly wasn’t the prosecutors' first witness: Mazars accountant Donald Bender, who was asked about his 2011 engagement letter with the Trump Organization and the final statement of financial condition for that year. Not only was Monday's examination dry, but as Engoron noted at the end of the day, unless the attorney general's office can show the relevance of those documents to transactions completed after July 2014, the earliest date under the statute of limitations, they could be inadmissible as well.

That statute of limitations is also what Trump was referring to when, during remarks to the media today, he argued that an appeals court has already eliminated “80% .. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12586351/Trump-makes-wild-claim-80-fraud-case-THROWN-statute-limitations-expired-President-gives-thumbs-court-judge-slams-prosecutors-waste-time-having-accountants-testify.html ” of the case. That’s because eight of ten bank loans at issue were, according to Trump’s team, outside the relevant time period. Whether that’s how the judge sees it remains to be seen. Watch this space.
