Yes, you read that correctly. At a town hall, Trump told the crowd that all lawsuits against him are a ‘form of politically-motivated attacks’ – and then compared his situation to political martyr Alexei Navalny who was recently murdered by Putin in Russia.
‘It is a form of Navalny. It is a form of communism or fascism,’ Trump said.
In related news, New York Attorney General Letitia James said she will seize Trump’s assets if he can’t find the funds to cover the fine. Trump has 25 days to pay the $35million bond to hold over the case.
‘If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets,’ MS. James said in a statement,
She mentioned his 40 Wall Street skyscraper as one of the potential targets. If Trump can’t cough up the fine, he may have to sell off some of his New York real estate, which is estimated to be worth around $690 million.
Again, Trump whined that the lawsuits against him are a ‘form’ of politically-motivated attacks…and then compared his legal problems to Alexei Navalny’s death.
