Trump News

A Fox News pundit's attempt to slam attorneys as "political hatchet men" for prosecuting and suing former President Donald Trump earned ridicule Monday night when she compared their alleged corruption to that seen in nations such as North Korea, Russia and China.

"Who wants to tell her?" replied @ChunkMonkey.

Former President Donald Trump's new sneakers venture is being trolled by a survivor of the Parkland shooting.

David Hogg took to X this weekend to share he'd purchased a URL with a striking similarity to the gold sneakers Trump has begun to sell.

There are two kinds of Republicans and one of those group is incredibly afraid of Donald Trump, an elections expert said on MSNBC Monday night.

"The Republican party only has two flavors," said Marc Elias, an American Democratic Party elections lawyer. "There is bold MAGA and scared MAGA. They all act like bold MAGA in public but a lot of them are just scared MAGA."

Former President Donald Trump is unlikely to have any success appealing the civil fraud decision handed down against him in New York last week, former White House ethics special counsel Norm Eisen told CNN on Monday.

Judge Arthur Engoron found Trump liable for more than $350 million in fines for systematically inflating his company's property valuations, and also temporarily limited his ability to do business in the state of New York. Trump attorney Alina Habba has already vowed to appeal the decision.

In 2018, The Lincoln Project's Rick Wilson — a former GOP strategist and outspoken Never Trump conservative — told The Observer why he obtained a license to carry a concealed weapon: death threats from Donald Trump supporters.

Wilson explained, "It's not a trivial macho posture thing. I carry because I've had people approach me in public and threaten to kill me."

Donald Trump may have risked a lawsuit by shilling gold sneakers to help pay his mounting legal fees, a CNN analyst said Monday.

Maria Cardona explained that, as a "shoe diva," she knows the ins and outs of copyright law when it comes to high-end brands such as Christian Louboutin.

Former President Donald Trump's attorney Alina Habba took to Fox News on Monday to complain about the more than $350 million civil judgment issued against her client in the New York civil fraud case — and suggested that President Joe Biden's embattled son Hunter has been ignored by prosecutors while all this was going on.

"Nobody is above the law?" Habba told anchor Martha MacCallum, quoting New York Attorney General Letitia James' statements on the case. "I would just like these left-winging [district attorneys] and [attorney generals] to show us that.... I’m inviting you to show me that no one is above the law, while we have Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, and all of his friends up in D.C. in the Deep State that have not been touched."

Attorney Alina Habba said Donald Trump is "prepared" to post a nearly $400 million bond after a fraud judgment against him in New York.

In an interview on Fox News on Monday, Habba lashed out at New York Attorney General Letitia James' claim that no one is above the law.

Donald Trump can't use the hefty cash windfall he's expected to get from a merger of his Truth Social platform with a tech company to pay his massive legal costs.

Speaking to MSNBC on Monday, New York Times investigative reporter Russ Buettner explained that the former president can't simply dip into the merger deal funds for his own personal use — and that what Trump will ultimately get out of the deal may not be spendable cash anyway.

David Cay Johnston, one of Donald Trump's biographers, wrote for The New Republic on Monday that the hefty fine in the New York fraud case is of the former president's own making.

According to Johnston, Trump made bad — and expensive — deals as he built his defense. And they came back to bite him.

Before Justice Arthur Engoron released his verdict in his civil fraud case, many legal experts predicted that Donald Trump would get clobbered financially. And that's exactly what happened.

On Friday afternoon, Engoron ordered Trump pay almost $355 million. When interest is factored in, that figure increases to $450 million.

Former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany is outraged at new historical rankings putting former President Donald Trump dead last among U.S. presidents — and blew up over it on Fox News Monday morning.

The poll, released earlier in the day, is the third such survey conducted as part of the University of Houston's Presidential Greatness Project, which asked a large group of academics and scholars involved in politics to give rank U.S. presidents. It listed Trump as worst of all presidents, and also gave him the title of "most polarizing." Even among respondents who identified as Republicans, Trump placed 41 out of 45.

A legal analyst is concerned that the damages Donald Trump was hit with in the fraud trial only compounds his financial problems — and presents a major security threat.

On Monday, Allison Gill of "Mueller, She Wrote" joined with co-host Dana Goldberg on "The Daily Beans" and called the fraud trial fine of $355 million a "doozy."
