Anyone cheering on the lawfare he's been experiencing isn't
thinking through what it's going to be like when the shoe is on the
other foot. Power always shifts back and forth and many have been
openly cheering this on because they hate the man, but the
precedent it's setting will come back to bite...probably all of
us.

I think Trump has brought a lot of his troubles on
himself, but this civil judgment is clearly excessive (which has
long been true with lawsuits against big corporations).

He would barely make it into IWM, much less be considered a big
corporation. The judgement is probably 50% of his net worth
and not much of that is liquid (I think we all know part of his
brand management involves saying he's worth more than he actually
is). They haven't figured out penalties high enough to punish
large corporations like AAPL, GOOG and MSFT. They simply budget for
it and easily absorb what we consider massive judgements - it's
part of their business plan.

It grossly exceeds the amount needed to indemnify the
victim...but it gets better...there doesn't appear to be a victim.
It's a circus and a witch hunt wrapped into a soup
sandwich.
