I never get tired of this: "You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.” –Donald J Trump, 02/10/24.

@monicamacauley3750

Narcissists are not capable of embarrassment.

@johnarchuleta9893

Let’s not forget when Dirty Dollar Donnie said on public TV that he’s so rich he doesn’t need campaign contributions.

@laustinspeiss

“Justice delayed is Justice denied” - works both ways

@terenceholmes8071

Where's he going to get the money from?? Foreign adversaries. Selling classified information to the highest bidder...

@charleshaerle8498

Somebody Please stop this insanity. I can't handle it any longer.

@richardwilliams5842

He had the nerve to offer the judge 100M from the 400M plus bond he has to post and rightfully so the judge told him to kick rocks! LOL

@lifeonthefarm6001

He’s never been embarrassed about not paying his bills. He just either cons someone else into paying them , or doesn’t pay them at all.

@Adam-vo6tv

Lmao, that JG Wentworth joke was gold.

@jaimemunoz8513

lmfao Cohen dropped "J G Wentworth" and I fell off the chair

@TheReelDealwithTomKonkle

How awful a person do you have to be to have your own lawyer talk about you like this. Lol

@J.Allen_

One GLARING issue here not being talked about is the fact that Trump at this point would NEVER in a million years be granted a security clearance due to his financial liability. Yet he is still in the running to be the one person in control of classification. This situation is so bizarre it's scarcely imaginable. And literally EVERYTHING about Trump and his handling and process from business to politics is absolutely bizarre. In what world is a person like this qualified to lead any country let alone America. There no words for this scenario. America can we please just learn our lesson already with Trump and not have to suffer this chaos anymore PLEASE!

@yassercespedes2971

If trump gets absolute immunity Biden should just send a drone and make trump disappear since he will also get absolute immunity 😂

@learnin-to-fly6307

it's hard to imagine the supreme court even considering immunity for anyone

@virginiaviola5097

I appreciate Judge Engoron’s wisdom in allowing Trump and his legal spokeswoman to run their mouths off inside and outside of court about the extent of Trump’s wealth, and then come up with a figure that put Trump in a position whereby he has had no choice but to reveal the true extent ( or lack thereof) of his financial worth. And Engoron’s reply when Trump’s lawyers tried to negotiate the judgement down…”go tell it to the appellate court” was the Cherry on top.

$91 million due by March 9th for E. JEAN Carroll 2

@bojax67

Only a TRUE GENIUS could start with a 5 million dollar judgment and turn it into over 500 million dollars!! PURE GENIUS!!

@Keith-xm9nv

I think the Supreme Court is sending a message to the lower judges, officials and law enforcement and teaching them that it is ok to be crooked. So how is the United States supposed to be a law abiding nation when we are learning this from our highest most sacred law makers?

@LindaGuy-yg6ju

Another slap in the face of every american. The supreme court just showed its true colors.
