Donald Trump may be spending much of his time complaining that Nato members aren’t paying their bills, but he has been compiling his own. The latest is a whopping $350 million (£278 million) judgment courtesy of Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron, who came down with a decisive thud on Trump’s business dealings in his civil fraud trial. Engoron not only demanded that Trump cough up the $350 million, but also banned him from any business activities in New York over the next three years.
Eric and Don Jr. got dinged for $4 million (£3.2 million) each. Donald Sr. plans to appeal the ruling. But he has thirty days to post a bond or come up with the cash. Either way, he’s going to be feeling the financial pinch. Adding insult to injury: an independent monitor will continue to oversee the company’s transactions.
Donald Trump is only for law and order when it serves his own purposes
Throughout his recent trial, Trump moaned and groaned about the iniquity of the judicial system.
