Morphine Prince 109,710 Posted August 21, 2025 Share Posted August 21, 2025 A New York state appeals court on Thursday tossed out a massive monetary fine for civil business fraud imposed on President Donald Trump, his company, and other defendants related to a lawsuit by state Attorney General Letitia James. The appeals court said the eye-popping penalty — which rose to more than $500 million since it was imposed in early 2024 — violates the U.S. Constitution's Eighth Amendment, which prohibits "excessive fines."

Alxjcgn 2,207 Posted August 21, 2025 Share Posted August 21, 2025 Meanwhile he is allowed to violate the constitution??? But more importantly- guess that shows us how "rich" he actually is... he shouldn't have a problem paying that fine if he is so wealthy. Yet- because all he does is use taxpayer money, I guess that is a silver lining? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DopeEnigma 1,793 Posted August 21, 2025 Share Posted August 21, 2025 (edited) Americans need to get out on the streets and drag the b****** out of the White House by his rancid hair piece. He needs to suffer consequences for the first time in his god forsaken life. Edited August 21, 2025 by DopeEnigma Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaxboy 6,974 Posted August 21, 2025 Share Posted August 21, 2025 (edited) But he’s a billionaire. This should be pennies! Does that mean it gets reduced to like $5M instead? Or even better, jail time! Even community service. Imagine how noble it would be to see him doing jail time or community service as a way to show NO ONE is above the law.
