In a latest blow to the former President Donald Trump, a New York judge swiftly shot down his attempt to delay a massive $354 million judgment slapped on him. Judge Arthur Engoron wasted no time in rejecting Trump’s plea for a 30-day delay, much to the dismay of the former president’s legal team led by Clifford S. Robert. It seems Lady Justice isn’t blinking when it comes to the man who made the White House great again.

The judgment, proposed by the Democratic Attorney General Letitia James of New York, has left Trump facing a hefty bill and a three-year ban on holding any key positions in companies based in the Empire State. Ouch! This ruling comes after Trump was found liable for fraud back in September. Looks like the New York legal system is throwing the book at him, or maybe a whole library.
But hold on a minute, some legal eagles are squawking about the size of the judgment. George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley is calling it “confiscatory,” hinting that it could bleed Trump dry even if he wins on appeal. The claws are out in full force, it seems, as the legal drama unfolds in the Big Apple.
Meanwhile, Attorney General Letitia James seems ready to pounce if Trump doesn’t cough up the mammoth fine in 30 days. She’s eyeing his assets like a hungry cat eyes a mouse. The Democrats are circling, hoping to land a big blow on the man they’ve labeled an “illegitimate president.” It’s a political showdown fit for primetime TV.
As the legal battles rage on, Trump’s silence is deafening. The man who once dominated headlines and Twitter feeds worldwide is now facing his toughest opponent yet – the scales of justice. Will he come out on top, or will this be the final act in the saga of the reality TV president? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – the drama is far from over in the concrete jungle of New York City.
