    Protip: Don’t sue the judge presiding over your case right before they decide on how much of a penalty you need to pay.

    Some other great things that came from this case:

    1. Trump’s lawyer forgot to request a jury so the judge will decide guilt.

    2. Trump’s lawyer cited the case where Trump was forced to pay $25 million to victims he defrauded through Trump University. This was somehow meant to convince the judge Trump isn’t a serial fraudster.

    3. Trump himself defended the ridiculously overpriced estimates of his real estate holdings by claiming he could “get a buyer from Saudi Arabia to pay any price”.
