    Well, if it doubles every time, it shouldn’t take too long to reach the point where he can’t pay…

      It would take Trump 19 times violating the gag order before hitting a billion dollars. Even if you add up the fines cumulatively, it would take 18 times before Trump had to pay over a billion dollars. A poor person would be crippled by the first fine.

      Edit: Counting is hard.

          Would I be shocked that Trump had a billion dollars stashed away in various off shore bank accounts. No.

          Would I be shocked that Trump didn’t have two pennies to rub and was doing all this grifting to stay afloat. No.

          Trump lies so much about his wealth. I would wager that Trump is only a multi-millionaire at best. Again, Trump grift game is pretty good and doesn’t seem to pay his debts.

      Yeah it would. He’d have to violate it 10 times for the doubling to even pass one hundredth of a billion.

      Sounds like you’re severely underestimating the vast gulf between 10,000 and however many billions his creditors are allowing him to have.

        He’s not remotely a billionaire. His whole life is a lie. Everything he’s connected with is over valued and he has a ton of debt. He’s a flim flam man, not a billionaire.

          He’s a fraud with a negative net worth but due to said fraud and his organised crime and rogue nations connections, billions are still made available for him
