They never learn. The more you flail at Trump, the more you end up stuck in a mire of your own making. Not only did Trump have his bond amount reduced in the James/Engoron court case (with more time given to pay it), but he also made Truth Social a publicly traded company, immediately netting him personally over six billion dollars. Previously, Trump's net worth had been around $2.6 billion, but now, he is at around $9 billion in one fell swoop. This makes any penalty from the bogus real-estate case negligible to him at best.
Some perspective, though: Trump is still only a small-fry billionaire, but as Doug notes above, he is now among the 500 richest people in the world, a fairly exclusive club. (That's not the sort of thing that matters to me as much as it might matter to Trump, of course.)
I need to do more research on this, but I think people are also finding out that Attorney General Letitia James, like Fani Willis, has some dirty dealings she needs to explain. More on that when I have something.
ADDENDUM: for my non-American readers who don't know the tar-baby reference.
