Democrats are escalating their all-out assault on Donald Trump.
But the blowback is already happening.
And a Democrat Governor is panicking after one insane verdict against Trump.
Trump Derangement Syndrome could be boomeranging on the Democrats.
New York Attorney General Letitia James vowed to “get Trump” during her campaign, but she could not find any criminal charges against Donald Trump.
Instead, James filed a civil suit against Trump claiming fraud because he allegedly overvalued his real estate properties in order to secure bank loans.
The loans were paid back with interest, so there was no injured party, but that did not matter.
Democrat Judge Arthur Engoron hit Trump with a $355 million fine and barred him and his sons from operational control of the business.
While Democrats took a victory lap, people in the business community were furious.
They wanted to know what would stop the government from coming after them next.
That forced Governor Kathy Hochul to assure businesses that they had “nothing to worry about.”
Hochul sat for a radio interview and said, “I think that this is really an extraordinary, unusual circumstance that the law-abiding and rule-following New Yorkers who are business people have nothing to worry about, because they’re very different than Donald Trump and his behavior.”
They are “different” insofar as they have not gotten cross with the Democrat Party.
Every real estate developer inflates his assets, then the banks do their assessment, and determine whether or not they want to lend the money.
In this instance, the bank in question said that it wanted to do business with Trump again.
This was clearly a political hit job and business owners see it for what it is.
Hochul added, “By and large, [New York business owners] are honest people and they’re not trying to hide their assets and they’re following the rules…And so this judge determined that Donald Trump did not follow the rules. He was prosecuted and truly, the governor of the state of New York does not have a say in the size of a fine, and we want to make sure that we don’t have that level of interference.”
Trump was targeted by an AG who literally said she was going to “get Trump,” then targeted him with a bogus fraud suit.
That could happen to anybody in the state if he or she gets on the bad side of the New York Democrat machine.
