NEW YORK — The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial issued him a $354.8 million penalty Friday, finding that for years Trump orchestrated massive business fraud by falsely inflating his net worth to obtain favorable rates from banks and insurers.

Former President Trump lashed out against a judge’s ruling banning him from running companies in New York for three years and ordering him to pay more than $350 million in his fraud case, saying there “were No Victims, No Damages, No Complaints.” https://t.co/cTQWtzEfCW

Former President Trump’s lawyers, Christopher Kise and Alina Habba, blasted the $335 million verdict against him, disparaging the costly ruling as a multi-year “politically fueled witch hunt” orchestrated to take him down. https://t.co/fb1JZoi8Qr

This is funny for two reasons. 1) Trump in no way “built the skyline of New York City” and 2) The suggestion that Trump conducted any business anywhere at anytime for any reasons other than selfishness or economic self-interest. Like he deserves NYC’s gratitude? LOL https://t.co/vDDC3jg7cg
