Gee, he can't pay for his business fraud judgments with his sneaker fraud or his nft trading card fraud?

What about all the bribes he illegally and treasonously accepted by premiers of hostile countries?

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 31 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Make him sell off his properties. Turn mar-a-lago into an immigration center

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 7 months ago

Haha, this is a great idea.

Yesss!

Also every immigrant gets their own golf tournament where they're the only contestant so they win by default.

That would make Trump's win just one of many. I'm certain he would dislike that.

If only he hadn't publicly slandered the same person twice more after successfully being sued the first time.

[–] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

He's trying to get his frequent slanderers card punched enough to get the tenth slander for free.

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sadly he posted bond on E. Jean Carol's settlement so she won't see a dime for years as it goes through appeals

[–] KidnappedByKitties@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

On the first one, yes. This is the second one, that he's failed to post bond for, and won't be allowed to appeal unless he can.

The third was videotaped as he walked out of the verdict on the second.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago

I'm happy for him to repeat the mistakes we know he can be held liable for.

I missed the sneaker thing, what's that all about?

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Dumps showed up at a sneaker convention a few days after receiving his 454-million dollar civil fraud judgment with some boxes of gold sneakers that cost $399 a pair in a typically transparent ploy to cover his costs.

Allegedly, his 1000 "never surrender high tops sold out, though he hasn't paid any of that sentence yet and the thousand available pairs would cover less than .1% of his fines for that single judgment.

Also, a lot of people booed him when he showed up at the convention.

Fox hosts notably thought this was a great way for trump to be "connecting with Black America. Because they’re into sneakers, they love sneakers. This is a big deal. Certainly in the inner city.”

Is Sneaker culture racial? I thought all kinds of weirdos were in to shoes 🤣

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 8 points 7 months ago

Haha, you got it right, sneakerheads are all over. Fox is racial.

It's a front for laundering him money to pay for his legal fees. Nobody will ever purchase those shoes to wear them. They're going to sit and rot away in a Russian warehouse somewhere.

My favorite part of the story is when they find him stiff on the toilet and then dress him in these shoes before the weekend at bernie parade.
