Somehow the picture of him crying into his pillow while shouting "it's not fair" comes to mind so easily.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Him scrunching up like a newborn, crying and screaming between barely coherent monosyllabic versions of "ITS NOT FAIR", yeah.
They'll probably jump straight to appeal once the verdict is announced,bthen hope his buddies on the supreme court will bail him out.
Why else would he steamroll so many of them into there?
Yup this probably will happen.
But I don't necessarily agree with prosecuting someone for inflating their property value to get loans...
If that's all this is, then I think its a silly trial and a waste of time.
There were real, serious crimes committed by this man and that's what the courts should be focused on.
Not proud to say it, but, if we start scrutinizing every penny in every account and every bottom line on every loan, then it might deter good people from running for POTUS out of fear of unfairly being prosecuted for minor financial mishaps.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
New York Attorney General Letitia James alleges Trump duped banks, insurers and others by inflating his wealth on financial statements used in securing loans and make deals.
A few weeks later, Engoron rejected the defense’s request for a mistrial, denying its claims that he was politically biased and had irreparably harmed Trump’s right to a fair trial through “astonishing departures from ordinary standards of impartiality.”
In cross-examining Bartov, state lawyer Louis Solomon sought to undermine the contention that major Trump lender Deutsche Bank didn’t rely on his financial statements.
Solomon noted that retired Deutsche Bank executive Nicholas Haigh had testified that he believed such cuts were “standardized” for client-reported commercial real estate values.
He opined that the bank would have scrutinized enough of Trump’s assets to be satisfied he had the wherewithal to warrant the loan, and then, to save staff work but still be conservative, bankers would have applied a standard deduction to the remaining holdings.
In the same courthouse, Bartov once testified as an expert witness for the attorney general’s office in its lawsuit accusing Exxon Mobil of duping investors about the toll that climate change regulations could take on its business.
The original article contains 880 words, the summary contains 194 words. Saved 78%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
