But. The reality is that litigation is not new for trump. From Wikipedia. From the 1970s until he was elected president in 2016, Donald Trump and his businesses were involved in over 4,000 legal cases in U.S. federal and state courts, including battles with casino patrons, million-dollar real estate lawsuits, personal defamation lawsuits, and over 100 business tax disputes.[1] He has also been accused of sexual harassment and sexual assault,[2][3] with one accusation resulting in Trump being held civilly liable.[4] In 2015, his lawyer Alan Garten called this "a natural part of doing business" in the United States.[5][6] While litigation is indeed common in the real estate industry,[5] Trump has been involved in more legal cases than his fellow magnates Edward J. DeBartolo Jr., Donald Bren, Stephen M. Ross, Sam Zell, and Larry Silverstein combined.[7] |
Well, I can guarantee you one thing - if Trump wins you will see a lot more of the kind of crap that happens in Russia or Turkey. |
Some people are making it seem like the NY case was unique and why is it only happening now (saying it’s political the timing). The reality is that he has been in civil court his entire career with thousands of lawsuits, you can look it up. The question should be when has he not been in court.
The criminal cases are new but those also happened recently and the evidence in the Georgia and Florida cases are very robust. |
No, it’s on hold because the founders have sued Trump because they say he tried to take more of their tiny slice than the deal allowed. Can’t make this sh!t up. “The co-founders’ lawsuit is led by Andy Litinsky and Wes Moss, who met Trump as contestants on his reality show “The Apprentice.” The men pitched Trump on the idea of a Trump-branded tech start-up and social media platform in early 2021 after he lost the White House and was banned from Twitter, now called X. Trump agreed to the deal and was given 90 percent of the company, according to a motion for expedited proceedings filed Wednesday in the Delaware Court of Chancery by the co-founders’ partnership, United Atlantic Ventures. The partnership took 8.6 percent, while an attorney on the deal, Bradford Cohen, was given the remaining 1.4 percent, the motion states. UAV launched the Trump Media business, hired employees and raised funding while receiving no “fee or payment for its work,” the motion said. And though Litinsky and Moss left Trump Media that year amid a dispute with its current leadership, UAV retained its shares, according to a SEC filing this month from Digital World. The filing said that Trump was set to receive 78 million shares in the post-merger company — a stake worth more than $3 billion at Thursday’s share price — and that UAV would receive more than 7 million shares, a stake worth nearly $300 million. “Throughout TMTG’s corporate history,” the motion states, “UAV’s 8.6 percent ownership interest has been recognized and honored.” But UAV’s attorneys allege in the motion that Trump has recently attempted to “drastically dilute” the partnership’s stake as part of what they called an “11th hour, pre-merger corporate maneuvering” tactic designed to increase the amount of authorized stock, from 120 million shares to 1 billion shares. UAV’s attorneys wrote that the “dilution scheme” had “no legitimate business purpose” and suggested that Trump and the Trump Media board planned to issue the new shares to “Trump and/or his associates and children,” watering down UAV’s stake to less than 1 percent. UAV was “promised 8.6 percent of this company and sadly its business partners are baselessly trying to renege,” said the partnership’s lead attorney, Christopher J. Clark of Clark Smith Villazor, in an interview with The Washington Post describing the lawsuit. “They feel like: We made Truth Social for you. You get 90 percent. But some people just aren’t happy with 90 percent.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/02/29/truth-social-lawsuit-trump-media-founders/ |
Trump steals everything. |
It’s so perfect, right? If he hadn’t tried to dilute the founders’ shares, the shareholder vote to finally approve the merger would be TOMORROW. But right now it’s a total mess because ETTD. Updated article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/03/21/truth-social-trump-merger-lawsuits/ |
Legal actions regarding Trump University started way back in 2005, there were NY and Texas investigations (Trump U agreed to cease operating in Texas and avoided lawsuits). Two federal lawsuits filed (2010 and 2013) which Trump ultimately settled shortly after the 2016 election. Fair Housing lawsuit was filed way back in 1973. It is true that it has taken a long time--too long--for the chickens to come home to roost. But also, three of the current legal proceedings have to do with his 2016 campaign (false business records pertaining to Stormy Daniels hush money), his actions as President (Jan 6) and his attempts to defraud the 2020 election. So THAT is why they are happening now. As for the financial statement fraud, there are probably some political aims involved, and a different AG, but it is also the case that sometimes it takes a long, long time to be able to bring a case against people running organized criminal operations. |
Wow--that was the billions people were saying he would have any minute to pay the court. This guy has an addiction problem and getting desperate for a fix. |
Yup. “Panic mode.” https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/19/politics/trump-bond-deadline-panic/index.html |
President Biden, speaking at a Texas fundraiser: "Just the other day, this defeated looking man came up to me and said: 'Mr. President I need your help. I'm in crushing debt. I'm completely wiped out.' I had to say, 'Donald, I can't help you'." |
Trump is a BINO - Billionaire in name only |
Wants to be president again to stay out of jail, retribution and enrich himself. No where is he “fighting for the forgotten man.” Please MAGA, open your eyes.👀 |
You were always going to vote for trump. |
I was thinking something similar this morning. He wants to be President again for all the wrong reasons. He has zero interest in using that role for anything beyond his own personal self-interest. |
