New York Attorney General trolls former president as interest starts accruing on monster judgment

A $455m judgment against Donald Trump is increasing by more than $110,000 each day due to interest penalties.

And New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is preprared to seize his assets if necessary, is not going to let Mr Trump forget.

When the final judgment in the sprawling fraud trial against Mr Trump, his adult sons Donald Jr and Eric Trump, and former Trump Organization executives was approved on Friday, the attorney general’s X account posted the exact figure down to the last cent.

Twenty four hours later, her account wrote: “+$114,553.04”.

          Which would be pretty cool, because his only hope for avoiding prison is whatever he thought “presidential immunity” was

      Technically no, but in practice he at least needs to be able to be perceived to be successful in business, and this will make that difficult.
