    I want to believe this is going to happen, but I’ve just learned by now that Trump always finds a way to weasel out even when it seems there’s no way to weasel out.

    I’m sure he’ll be able to convince some judge that he was treated unfairly for political reasons, and all that will happen is that he’ll be rewarded with millions of conservative votes.

    Yes, I’m cynical when it comes to Trump.

      I really believe that in the normal functioning of the court, that this would actually happen.

      However I’m going to wait until the first dollar leaves his account before celebrating anything.

      My partner says I’m not allowed to consider anything like this a success until he suffers an actual consequence.

      Being issued a fine in this case is not yet a consequence.

        If Trump’s really worth billions, like he says he is, $355 million don’t matter. Just a slap on the wrist.
