As the deadline for Donald Trump’s $454 million New York civil fraud judgment approaches, the former US President has intensified his rhetoric against potential property seizures. On Monday, March 25, Trump took to Truth Social to assert his innocence and criticize Judge Arthur Engoron and New York Attorney General Letitia James for their actions.
Trump’s legal battle stems from a ruling by Justice Engoron, who ordered him to pay around $454 million plus interest for allegedly misrepresenting his net worth and asset value to secure loans on favorable terms over a decade. Trump vehemently denies any wrongdoing, accusing Engoron and James of unfair targeting.
In his social media posts, Trump lashed out at what he called “communists” and “radical left lunatics,” claiming that his substantial bank account balance was being used against him. He argued that the judgment and potential property seizures were politically motivated to interfere with his ability to fund his White House race.
Trump’s son, Eric Trump, also joined the fray, accusing Attorney General James of attempting to bankrupt his father with the judgment. Trump’s legal team has argued that paying the full penalty is practically impossible, sparking concerns about property confiscations or asset sales.
Amid escalating tensions, Trump’s social media posts and interviews highlight his determination to fight the judgment and protect his assets. However, the looming deadline and legal complexities raise questions about Trump’s financial strategy moving forward.
The situation has attracted significant attention on social media platforms, with hashtags like “Don Poorleone” trending as supporters and critics alike closely monitor developments in Trump’s legal battle.
