Who does Trump think he is? Those are grown up people, not 'children' anymore.

Trump tells judge in fraud case to leave his children alone

https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4286823-trump-tells-new-york-judge-leave-children-alone/]

Former President Trump wrote a social media post Wednesday railing against the judge overseeing his New York civil fraud case and told him to leave his children alone.

He also argued that there is enough evidence for the case to be thrown out.

“This Rigged Trial, brought by the Racist New York State A.G. Letitia James before Trump and developer Hating Judge, Arthur Engoron, which should have never been brought in that the so-called STAR WITNESS, SleazeBag Lawyer (for many people) Michael Cohen, admitted last week on the stand that he LIED,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, referencing his former personal lawyer.

“Therefore, on that fact alone, this Fake Case should be dismissed,” he added.


It is gonna take some time in jail for him to even get a hint that the JUDGE, not him, is in charge and laws apply. And those 'children' are how old? Two out of the first 3 are in their forties. The younger of the three offspring by Ivana is 38 and the one Daddy Weirdest put in charge (supposedly) of the family company when he went into the White House.

Not children. Not innocent bystanders in the family tradition of fraud if they signed any company papers or sat in on any meetings. He is not a loving father trying to protect his young. He is a cheap hustler who uses his grown offspring as pawns in his sketchy schemes and he knows they could hurt him if they decided not to risk perjury.

Judge Engoron needs to slap this stubborn enemy of law and order, and slap him hard.

Yeah, I know, silly to hope, especially at my advanced age. But it's just my nature, despite all the evidence that I am foolish to harbor a glimmer of law and order being applied to (sorta) rich white guys who never learned that NO means no.

think trump is like the average American (ha! if he did, trump would have been put in jail LONG ago) and knows that these piddly fines are more than pocket change for him--money his cult members will immediately cover in triplicate at least. So frustrating to see!

And yes, TFG's spawn are grown adults, quite capable of being horrible, defective human beings in their own right. But poor Don Jr. clearly hasn't figured out that Daddy will never love him no matter what reprehensible things he says or does on Daddy's behalf; Eric hasn't figured out that Daddy thinks he's stupid, which he is; and Ivanka knows very well that Daddy does love her but in a very skeevy and inappropriate manner. If they love Daddy it's probably in a twisted Stockholm Syndrome way, but they certainly do love Daddy's money. Ivanka also loves it that her creepy Ken-doll husband collected a cool billion from Prince Bonesaw as a consequence of Daddy's icky love of Ivanka.

Vanky’s sitting on Daddy’s lap, even though she’s way too old to be sitting on Daddy’s lap, and Daddy’s girlfriend/wife is is sitting four seats away.

Also, how about that backwards cap on Don Jr.? Yo, dude!

he should have encouraged them to go work for legit businesses after they graduated from college.

When he first started campaigning and I began realizing how truly awful he is (never paid much attention to him before), I wondered why at least one of them didn’t tell Daddy to stuff it and head out on their own path.

But then I also began to realize how awful the “children” are, each in their own way. And to be fair, I’m sure they were told they’d be totally on their own if they didn’t come work for Daddy. When you’ve been raised in luxury, it takes a great deal of character to risk giving it all up.

which did, of course, raise eyebrows among the other attendees, who were used to someone qualified being sent. Seems very rich to say, 6 years later, she should be left alone.

to leave them alone. Other Presidents did everything possible to isolate their children from what they were doing and had the ability to demand they be left alone. Not so much this dipshit.

Stop calling them 'children'.

They are all adults. The MSM calling them Tr**p's Children in all their discussions of this NY fraud case - is doing a disservice.

Cut the crap out MSM. Start calling them what they are: adults that know better and make up their own minds.

They all know better and chose to join Tr**p in his life of crime and become criminals themselves.

He has admitted to not being involved with their offspring until they were old enough to be useful to him.

Your daughter is still your child, tho grown. Trump seems to call his offspring as their mother's son/daughter until he needs to assign some paperwork to someone but himself. ie: "Melania's son"
