trump's entire 2016 presidential campaign cost $340 million.

trump's 2020 campaign more then doubled that amount to spend $774 million(which, with his loss conveniently amounted to nothing).

This judgment, coupled with prejudgment interest, amounts to over $450 million.

And being barred from conducting business in New York is one heck of a cherry on top, although like many of you, I would have liked to see a lifetime ban.

His sons are also not allowed to have any role in Trump organizations in New York for 2 years and owe four million each.

There's trumps $83 million ruling for his rape and defamation of carroll as well.

Congrats, Letitia James and judge engoron.

Can't wait for the rest of these trials to get going.

Luckily, he's already old and obese, so these three years are much more of a loss than say, being banned for 3 years at 25 years old. With any luck he won't be around much longer anyways.

These evil old bastards take longer than you think to kick the bucket. Hell, Kissinger made it to 100.

Three years could be, dude does not look healthy.

He's looked too unhealthy for too long, I hope something internal collapses.
