Just waiting for Trump to not pay this like all his other bills and watch as the legal system decides to fine him for not paying fines because they don't have the balls to put him in a cell.

Oh no, not $10,000, he'll never financially recover from that... oh nevermind some moron just donated more than that to him, he's fine now.

Seriously, what's it going to take for them to finally throw him in jail? How many more times does he need to ignore court orders and threaten the safety of jurors, judges, and lawyers before they do something with actual consequences for him? If they're going to keep fining him they need to add a zero or two on there if they want him to actually stop.

Fines need to scale with the net worth of the person, otherwise they only impact poor people.

I'm pretty sure that regular people would see the inside of a jail cell for breaking a gag order twice, but the guiltiest billionaire since Madoff get fined less than his yearly hamberder budget 🤬

When the punishment is a fine, it’s only a crime if you’re poor.

This is nickels to him. Many more nickels that he simply won't pay.

Put his ass in county on contempt charges. No bail. Let him fucking fester.

He still won't learn anything, but at least it'll be harder for him to run his goddamn mouth.

This article doesn't cover the best part, which is that afterward he stormed out like the little baby he is.

If the fine doubles every time, we are in the "grains of rice on the chessboard" territory soon!

Next, the fine will be $20,000, then $50,000, then $100,000, then $200,000, then $500,000, then $1,000,000, then $2,000,000, then $5,000.000. then $10,000,000, etc. and see how long it takes before then finally throw the book at this asshole and put him behind bars.

Stop punishing rich people with fines, it doesn't work. It's like punishing me with naptime, I was probably gonna be asleep anyway!

They need to double it for every offense.

Should be sanctioned daily until he's in compliance. Where did they find this judge?

Me hope his puchcard has the third puch as prison.

That's like fining me 85 cents.

Lock Him Up

Once again, no real consequences, fascism wins again.

To an American billionaire ($1,000,000,000), $10,000 is equivalent to $10 out of an American million ($1,000,000), or $1, out of $100,000.

Until there is jail time, Trump doesn't care. He paid his hired help 10 X that to two models to not talk about their affairs with him.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

On Oct. 20, Engoron fined Trump $5,000 after finding he had not taken down a post disparaging the law clerk, and warned that future transgressions could bring "far more severe" sanctions including jail.

The judge, when he originally imposed the gag order, said that comments directed at his staff were "unacceptable, inappropriate and will not be tolerated under any circumstances."

Earlier on Wednesday, Cohen acknowledged under questioning by an attorney for the former president that he has a financial incentive to criticize his ex-boss but defended his credibility as he testified in the trial.

Habba on Wednesday asked Cohen about how much money he made from his political podcast and two books he wrote since bitterly cutting ties with Trump and becoming one of his fiercest critics.

Cohen's testimony could bolster the attorney general's argument that Trump, his company and several of its executives unlawfully inflated property values.

Cohen pleaded guilty to tax fraud, campaign violence violations and perjury in 2018 and was sentenced to three years in prison.

Lock. Him. Up.

So UNFAIR, that deranged judge. Send money now!
