Justice Arthur Engoron on Oct. 3 barred Trump from disparaging court staff after Trump shared on social media a photo of the judge’s top clerk posing with U.S. Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, and falsely called her Schumer’s “girlfriend.”
During a trial break on Wednesday in the civil lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James concerning Trump’s business practices, Trump told reporters, “This judge is a very partisan judge, with a person who’s very partisan sitting alongside of him, perhaps even much more partisan than he is.”
Engoron, surmising that Trump was referring to his clerk, called the comments a “blatant” violation of the gag order. The judge imposed the fine after Trump briefly took the witness stand to take questions.
He’d have to do it
1612 times for doubling to touch just 1% of his reported net worth.(I have zero interest debating what his actual net worth is. Don’t @ me.)
Edited to correct math.
That should take about a week.
Your math is bad.
16 total payments of 5k, 10k, 20k, … is $327,675,000.
That is 1% of $32,767,500,000.
Trump’s net worth is not reported as close to 33 billion anywhere, and never has been.
13 payments would be 1% of about 4 billion, which could be ballparked as about Trump’s reported net worth at various times in history.
My math was indeed bad! That’s what I get for doing it fast at work lmao. Thanks for the call out.
