'A lot of money': Trump owes $87K in interest per day until he pays the fine in his civil fraud case
Former President Donald Trump owes an additional $87,502 in post-judgment interest every day until he pays the $354 million fine ordered by Judge Arthur Engoron in his civil fraud case, according to ABC News' calculations based on the judge's lengthy ruling in the case.
Judge Engoron on Friday fined Trump $354 million plus approximately $100 million in pre-judgment interest in the civil fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, after he found that Trump and his adult sons had inflated Trump's net worth in order to get more favorable loan terms. The former president has denied all wrongdoing and has said he will appeal.
Engoron ordered Trump to pay pre-judgment interest on each ill-gotten gain -- with interest accruing based on the date of each transaction -- as well as a 9% post-judgment interest rate once the court enters the judgment in the case.
I would feel like you’re either smart enough to have recognized the implication of answering that question truthfully, in which case you’re also smart enough to have understood the previous analogy and you were just pretending to be too dumb, or you’re just habitually manipulative because it tends to get you what you want most of the time, but you don’t really understand why.
In either case, this conversation is over because you’re clearly a liar and unwilling to admit when you’ve been caught. Have a good day.
I would feel like you answered my substantive response with a question about breakfast, and given your track record on analogies I thought I'd just skip the part where I try to figure out if it makes sense and ask you the answer directly.
You're one of these people who seems to think the world works how they think it should work.
And you’re one of those people who’s happy to use “the world doesn’t work the way you think it should work” as an excuse to lie, manipulate, and abuse others.
Is that what I'm doing? Why do you keep responding?
What you're doing lacks the coherence to even be called 'projection.'
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
How ironic.
Get thee behind me, Auld Clootie. You can't fool me.
Are you familiar with the saying "If you run into one asshole in the morning, that's the asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole"?
I wonder if this applies to the devil as well.
I not familiar with that specific version of the saying, no.
The devil is probably surrounded by assholes and is one themself. So I'm not sure how it'd apply.
Any other questions?
