Donald Trump’s $355 million legal woes just got a twist: a GoFundMe campaign launched by a supporter’s wife is gathering steam, while the NY Attorney General vows to seize assets if the judgment isn’t paid. Let’s unpack the drama!
GoFundMe for Trump: Fans or Farce?
Ilana Cardone, wife of investor and Trump supporter Grant Cardone, started a GoFundMe to help the ex-president pay his hefty fine. As of Wednesday, the campaign has garnered over $844,949, with donations ranging from $5 to $10,000. The goal? A whopping $355 million!
Cardone claims this isn’t just about Trump, but about “fairness and due process” and fighting “unfair treatment.” However, critics call it an attempt to shield a billionaire from legal consequences.
Justice Served or Score Settled?
Remember, this stems from a New York AG lawsuit accusing Trump of inflating asset values to secure loans. The court ruled in favor of the AG, finding Trump committed fraud and imposing the hefty fine. Trump’s sons were also fined and barred from executive positions in NY.
Assets on the Line: Pay Up or Lose Out?
AG Letitia James is prepared to go all in. If Trump doesn’t cough up the cash, she’ll seek court permission to seize his New York properties, including the iconic 40 Wall Street building. Talk about high stakes!
What’s Next?
Trump’s lawyers plan to appeal the judgment, potentially adding another layer to this legal saga. Meanwhile, the GoFundMe campaign continues to attract donations, sparking debates about fan loyalty, financial responsibility, and the complexities of the justice system.
