The thing about Trump not paying the proper interest rate

In proper I mean the rate any of us honest people might pay in any well evaluated loan we might apply for personally or business wise… is that all those “lost interest revenues” are passed down to us the little consumers. And we pay for it in higher rates and possibly fees. And that really pisses me off.

..or bogus disability cases. There are no free lunches...

But the thing about Trump that pisses me off is the fact he considers himself above the law, exempt from acceptable norms or standards and can do as he damn well pleases, never subject to any accountability.

The judge already ruled they committed fraud on a preponderance of the evidence - Trump's team couldn't refute the claims.

Now, they're just trying to figure out the tab and the punitive damages.

$250 mil was a low figure.
