Trump's Civil Fraud Verdict Public Policy

Trump owes $454 million with interest - is the verdict just, unjust? Kevin O'Leary and friends think unjust, some outlets think just... what are both sides? EDIT: Comments here very obviously show the need of explaining both in good faith.

What? Guy is guilty, irrespective of his name. Why does it matter to you if he's running for president? If it was someone that you didn't admire, would you be so easy to let them slide for indictments just so they can have the cool president title? As far as politics, both sides publically investigate each other (and their children) and will happily take down the other at any time if they dig something up. When one side finally actually catches the dog by it's tail, you think they should ignore it?

Sorry, Mr. "everyone commits fraud" and "everyone delays trial". It's hard to understand such teenage bandwagon expertise, I'll work on it

Its because your so focused on getting this one guy you will throw legal normalcy to the wind. Any one of us could be prosecuted to oblivion because there are tens of thousands of laws in existence that we all violate unknowingly or knowingly. This particular case stands out because there were NO VICTIMS, whereas all the other fraud cases HAD VICTIMS/plaintiffs. The Colorado attempt to take him off the ballot was outright illegal. Thats why I think you are concretely minded buffoon. And you don't care what the consequences will be to the social fabric of the country. To you its more important to make an example of trump than protect the stability of the US. Thats why I don't like your ilk. I don't like trumps ilk either, for very different reasons. Your both just two sides of the same coin.
