We don't let drug dealers keep the money they make dealing drugs. We do this because they illegally made money. I can see little difference in the Trump case. He just keep in the white collar crime area. He illegally made at least $350 million dollars c***ting banks, and he deserved this decision he got because justice matters.

Do you know the judge?

Wouldn't Trump be barred from running his business anyway if he wins in November like he was required to do when he won in 2016? That would take care of the "three years of not running his business" issue. He can't anyway if he is president.

I'm thinking he doesn't care, either, if he has to turn over operation of his NY businesses to his sons. They did a bang-up job of it when their father was president. In fact, Trump said he felt very confident that his sons will not only be able to take over complete operation of his empire, but they already demonstrated that they can do a superior job at it - and it's about time they took over, anyway. They need to learn the inside/out of the business, and there's no better way to do that than while he is still alive to show them the ropes of the business, while he runs the country.

Another thing Trump said recently is that as he gets older, the money and fancy things become less important when the fate of your own country is at stake. And if he wins, he will need every spare second of his time to fix the mess that Biden is making for him. He said he was incredibly lucky that he has such qualified sons to take over for him!

His sons are also barred from doing business in New York for 2 years..

Oh...I didn't hear that part. Oh well. He moved his residence to Florida. Maybe he will move those businesses somewhere else, too. There are a lot of places that could use the jobs....

New York is being so stupid. They let businesses like this go somewhere else. Trump pays his personal taxes to Florida now, and if he leaves NY completely, they lose a huge tax base.

I guess they think all those i******s can replace Trump's tax revenue for the state??

He should move EVERYTHING (emphasis) to Florida and see what happens to NY then. I imagine this ruling is making other corps think about moving

proud republican Loc: RED CALIFORNIA

I don't think he can touch his businesses for 3 yrs or until he pays off his fines...

Knightlady

Doesn't mean someone else can such as Ivanka.

Or even Melania

So he can't run his businesses and he can't move them?

If that's the case, he's going to have a lot of sympathizers with other businesses and people who don't like watching him be attacked like this....
