    "We did nothing wrong". Using the word 'we' to suggest it wasn't just him. Coward

    He's barely got any money for rallies, they'll be the "whiniest grievances and lies" ever😂
  • @GnrlCorkScrw
    Come on stop replaying his lies. Stop letting him use your platform to spread his lies. Give us the facts. Read out his lies and counter them immediately.

    10,000 fine. Must be paid by the next day or he lands in the clinker until it is paid. Some real justice here, please.

    Behold the American judicial system which favors the rich and the powerful. Who speaks to the press before going in to face a judge and jury?
  • @Joestephens23
    He tries to trivialize it by saying it is a bookkeeping error. It is a professional organization with an accounting department and corporate leadership. It is not an accounting error. Companies don’t make this type of error. It was intentional. His followers don’t know about GAAP, Sarbanes-Oxley which is mainly hot public companies but pretty much standard for all large companies, audits, financial reporting standards, so he makes it sound like a whoops, I accidentally made a mistake. He didn’t it it here or when he misstated the values of his properties. It is more of the same. I am not responsible. I own the company but it is everyone else’s fault. He hire them and paid them, he signed off on them, he is responsible.

    I was trying to get an awesome job, but unfortunately I had to go to court for robbery. It's so unfair!

    Never Trump Republicans joke: “The code word for the FBI’s Truth Social investigation is ‘Shartful Codger’” 😂

    Yes - we all have “bookkeeping” issues that send us to state court. 😂. I usually call it “balancing my checkbook.”
