Trump wouldn't owe the 400 million .. Trump Org would and they'd declare bankruptcy to get out of it.

Trump personally is on the hook for 83 million.

I don't think they can declare bankruptcy, actually. There's already some direct judicial oversight at the company and one of the Trumpy lads were just complaining about it in a way that really felt like it was "they won't let us do any crimes!" The company has already received the death sentence, they just put off taking Trump's name off the buildings until after all the damage could be totalled. The Trump org is under non-Trump management until it closes up; they can't file for bankruptcy if they don't control the company and even if they did, it wouldn't stop things. The state of New York isn't going to settle for reduced criminal penalties, either.

I don't have a lot of faith in Trump getting locked up and dyingnin prison. Destroying his precious company and burning it all to the ground, OTOH, is probably the worst punishment Trump could imaging and that's great.

It's not impossible to oust them, everyone thought Michigan would be impossible until it wasn't, now the MI GOP is in a civil war and the Dems have a trifecta

my view is trump probably gets convicted of a bunch of the stuff and just ends up trying to appeal til he dies with slowly dwindling chud cash.

Just going from his wikipedia page, he's a piece of poo poo that retaliates against employees, pollutes until he gets caught, and sues everyone he's ever been in business with.

Any of us could have probably predicted what kind of person he is.

It's unlikely that anyone will face criminal charges from this, unfortunately, but that is a "pay them now to make this go away because this is only going to get worse" situation. That's the kind of poo poo that kills a media company.

Which has a reasonably good chance of happening here.

just 'settling down' and 'becoming a homemaker' while also sitting on billions of actual real money wealth who could still sneeze and make more money than any man she could marry

Back at the end of October, IIRC. They got a default judgment that said "Trump org is no longer allowed to exist in New York" and had to get someone to oversee dismantling it. The dismantling got stopped because there were a lot of other outstanding issues in the trial to be resolved. The guy who is handling the end of Trump is still there (and he's just a boring business guy, so nothing to talk about), basically making sure they don't do anything fucky to try to hide money or loot the company before the legal processes kick in.

It absolutely is imo if there's no chance of it

Reasonably if she was R +5, even R +10 in a good year sure try to get rid of her and send money to her opponent

But she's R +22 in a rural area, meaning her district is 22% more Republican than average across the nation. Unless she was caught with her hands down her Democratic BFs pants in a theater, there's no way she's going to get dislodged short of leaving herself or dying. That money could have been used for candidates in much closer races. I don't even remember the last time someone R +20 was ousted in favor of a Democrat
