Lots and lots of fraud. Almost all fraud, really. Crazy amounts of fraud.
He does the best fraud, everybody knows it.
You've never seen fraud like this.
Yesterday a man walked up to me. He was crying. "Sir, you have the best fraud", he said.
So he's reverted to jedi Mind-Tricks now. Very entertaining.
No fraud, just creative accounting.
Did you drop your /s?
I figured the euphemism would be enough, but yes, it’s /s.
There's no Fraud
There's no Fraud
You're the Fraud!
"I'm rubber and you're glue. Any fraud charges bounce off of me and stick to you!"
-Trump's legal defense.
There is no fraud in Ba Sing Se
There are no explosions at the airport.
I hate Trump as much as the next sane individual, but this constant news coverage is kind of annoying. This article is basically just saying "man on trial pleads not guilty" which is the least surprising or newsworthy thing I've ever heard
'former president getting railed in court for massive fraud case spanning decades' isn't "newsworthy"?
I think it was more the headline about the widdle baby lying again
I don't think you read it, it's semi-live coverage of the trial and what they're proving about his fraud.
The Trump Organization's assistant controller, Donna Kidder, testified that around 2012, the company's then-chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, instructed her to omit from a financial ledger some of the fees the company charged to manage the building.
Kidder said Weisselberg described it as money that moved within the Trump Organization from "one pocket to another."
I was pretty sure there was something going on with his trials because there was so many posts about him that were clicky headlines. I was unfortunately (fortunately?) right.
Could you provide some context? What is going on that you were unfortunately correct about? Not trolling, just not following the orange idiot's every move because it's so damn draining.
When I logged on this morning, there were 3 headlines talking about Trump saying bs about something, he's swatting flies, etc. That's a surefire way to know that his trial is happening, another indictment is coming or he lost another trial. I looked for a trial going on and found this. It's the trial that needs to be focused on, not the idiot trump trying to get headlines for his campaign.

Thanks for the clarification, and that does seem pretty spicy, and makes the nonsense about flies just the clickbait distraction it is.
Following these remarks, the former reality TV star began stuffing feathers up his butt, and claimed he was a chicken
I mean that better be his position otherwise why havea trial?
