A judge has ruled that Donald Trump committed fraud for years while building the real estate empire that catapulted him to fame and the White House.

Judge has ruled that Donald Trump committed fraud for years while building the real estate empire that catapulted him to fame and the White House.

Judge Arthur Engoron, ruling Tuesday in a civil lawsuit brought by New York’s attorney general, found that the former president and his company deceived banks, insurers and others by massively overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth on paperwork used in making deals and securing financing.

    hell yeah

    Engoron ordered that some of Trump’s business licenses be rescinded as punishment, making it difficult or impossible for them to do business in New York, and said he would continue to have an independent monitor oversee the Trump Organization’s operations.

        Yes, read it from another post! As far as I can tell the only Trumps who dodged it are Ivanka and Tiffany.

      At this point, who is stupid enough to do business with Trump that would also care if he has a business license?

      And why would Trump even pretend to do legitimate business after finding a donation grift that keeps on giving the more trouble he gets in?
