    You know when you finally get a job that pays a decent amount, and things that used to be big fucking deals start becoming just another inconvenience? Or you start paying for things that you thought were special occasions now, but now conveniences?

    Well I’m a millennial so me neither, but that’s basically the situation with Donald trump, he doesn’t care about having to pay the court anything, because as far as he’s concerned he can wipe his ass with $10,000 which was what the last fine he received was billed for.

    The Russian agent who should never have been a presidential candidate, who should have had the cuff slapped on him the second he “joked” about Russia being rewarded for dirt on the Democrats period will only care about the punishment it’s jail, and I mean actual jail. Not some country club where he can get massages and fancy drinks either. I mean the same kind of jail that I would go to if I walked into best buy, picked up a fancy 4K television, and walked out the door as if I was unaware that security cameras existed.

      See, that’s the thing. He tried to overthrow the government and sell state secrets, not rob a liquor store. It should be the same kind of PRISON CELL as murderers and terrorists, not a jail cell for petty criminals.

        Look I was asking for something unrealistic, you here are asking for the impossible.

      1. Trump doesn’t nearly have as much money as he says he has.
      2. The fact that he has to pay anything burns his ass. Look at it this way. There’s the Mar-A-Lago documents case. This case might put him in jail. What case does he show up for? The fraud case because that one will hit him in the pocket book.

      He literally values his money over his freedom. You’re right those monetary fines are almost nothing compared to the money he has, but the fact he has to pay literally anything at all has the emotional impact of a scrotum punch to the Ol’ Orange Caligula.

      He doesn’t have the money he led everyone to believe he has. At this point, I don’t think anyone knows if he’s even considered wealthy or not.

        I don’t think that really matters at this point, the whole, owe the bank $10,000, and the bank owns you, owe them a million and you own the bank. He is a former president with a lot of Fanatics ready to write in a blank check.
