Donald Trump vs The New York Judge…Trump losing…..

And who put him there in a New York State Civil Court with a judge chewing on his ass?

New York Attorney General Tish James….

Trump is used to bullying his way thru situations…

THAT has NOT worked in the Judge Arthur Engoron court….

The judge has hit Trump for ten grand so far and he will decide on a fine against Trump up to $250 MILLION in fraudulent business case….

And?

Trump IS STEWING……

And this is just the beginning…

He’s got FOUR Criminal trials to get thru….

And more civil court cases….

And except for one Federal judge down in Florida?

Judges ain’t having it….

Trump has appeared to be smoldering through much of this fraud trial, which could see his eponymous empire barred from doing business in New York. Judge Arthur Engoron ruled even before it started that Trump, his firm and adult sons had defrauded banks and insurance firms by inflating the value of his assets – which the former president has appealed. But Trump’s frustration seemed to boil over in bizarre incidents on Wednesday.

First, Trump appeared to make a new attack on the judge’s clerk in defiance of a gag order. He remarked to reporters that Engoron was very partisan and had a “very partisan person sitting alongside him.” The judge called a hearing to probe the comment and ended up fining the ex-president $10,000 for breaching a narrow gag order prohibiting him from targeting court staff. Trump denied the accusation and insisted he’d been referring to his former fixer, Michael Cohen, who also sat next to the judge during his testimony against his one-time boss.

It was not the first time Trump was fined for violating the gag order. Last week, he was slapped with a $5,000 penalty for not taking down a social media post attacking Engoron’s clerk.

“Don’t do it again or it’ll be worse,” Engoron said, in the kind of rebuke that Trump – who has been the dominant figure in every room for decades – rarely hears.

The fines are a drop in the bucket for someone as wealthy as Trump, even if his fortune is not quite as large as he claims, which is an issue at the heart of this case. And these sums are unlikely to make a former president used to saying exactly what he wants pipe down. But it is a small taste of the consequences that the legal system could impose in several trials – over his business, his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, his hoarding of classified documents and a hush money payment to an adult film star – that will become entangled with his presidential election campaign during the next year. Trump denies wrongdoing in all pending cases….
