Judge has ruled that Donald Trump committed fraud for years while building the real estate empire that catapulted him to fame and the White House.

Judge Arthur Engoron, ruling Tuesday in a civil lawsuit brought by New York’s attorney general, found that the former president and his company deceived banks, insurers and others by massively overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth on paperwork used in making deals and securing financing.

    People will still vote Trump, if not just to see what will happen

        A lot of people voted for Brexit just to see what happens (because they actually didn’t believe it would go through). Look at how that worked for them…

          The idea of frivolous voting like that is pretty dumb. Or “I’ll vote for this person to shake up the system!” or “as a protest!”

      For sure people will, but a lot less will. Either way, he’s not going to win. That being said, FUCKING VOTE!!! If everyone votes, the right has zero chance. They know it, it’s why they’re doing everything they can to make it harder to vote, and this bullshit gerrymandering they’ve managed to pull off.
