New York Judge Engoron fined Trump $355 million on Friday after the former president was found liable of business fraud.

An online fundraiser for former President Donald Trump has racked up $84,354 out of a $355 million target in just 24 hours following the final judgement in his civil fraud trial in New York.

On Friday, Trump was fined roughly $355 million by New York Judge Arthur Engoron following a monthslong trial. The trial was to determine how much Trump and his associates would pay after New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit in September 2022 accusing the former president, his two adult sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, The Trump Organization and two firm executives, Allen Weisselberg and Jeff McConney of fraudulently overvaluing assets to secure more favorable bank loans and taxation deals.

The former president was also barred from doing business in New York for three years. Other defendants in the case also faced financial penalties and were banned from doing business in New York for periods of time. Meanwhile, Trump, who is the GOP frontrunner in the 2024 presidential election, has denied any wrongdoing and claims the case was politically motivated.

    Any Trump supporters out there

    Literally zero of them browse here. Your message is simply echoing in here. You should post it to Truth Social or Hexbear or whatever shithole they peruse and let us know here what their replies are.

        Too relatable.

        I made an account to browse neighborhood news. If someone loses a cat or dog, I do want to be on the lookout. Haven’t added a single friend there. I’m just there to observe and potentially help save a pet. But it’s very “boomer” there, and in my experience (having lived here my whole life) every boomer is a Trump fan until proven otherwise. Every boomer goes to church every Sunday. They’re all the literal stereotype, and almost half are the same person as the ones you see interviewed at rallies by liberal-leaning journalists.

      A good argument can still be read and later used on by someone who does read here.

      Or used by some future machine learning project.

          So it’s just trolls, pissing off other trolls? Why would anyone who isn’t a troll spend any time there?

            For the same reason people still use Facebook and Twitter, despite the algorithm feeding them rage bait; it’s engaging.

            Sometimes I miss the old 4chan days, when you would argue about dumb shit while also assuming the other person is fucking with you, it creates a weird dynamic where you’re in competition to see who can create the most convincing strawman.

            Then, some would actually announce they were just trolling, which everyone else knew was a sign that they were actually serious, but wouldn’t admit it. Like any of it mattered, since nobody had usernames lol.

            I miss the old internet sometimes…
