Trump Predicts Mass Exodus From NY Over His Court Loss
Trump Predicts Mass Exodus From NY Over His Court Loss
“We’ll appeal, we’ll be successful, I think because frankly, if we’re not successful New York state is gone,” he said.
Right... The city that had hated his guts long before his presidency is going to be sad about him facing some justice.
This. NYC hated Trump for years before any of the rest of us even knew who he was.
Back in the late '80s and early '90s Trump always made the top 10 of Spy magazine's "100 worst people, places or things" feature. In 1987 (when he was #3 on the list), his only mitigating factors were "didn't run for office" and "offered to pay for the funeral of child killed by bear". I'm willing to bet he never actually paid for the funeral.
My favorite Trump story. He lucked into a chance to make the Manhattan elites love and respect him, and threw it away because of his own greed, arrogance, and stupidity.

Whenever Trump "predicts" something, it's code for telling his base to do that thing.
NYC may actually have trouble maintaining a police department if the trumpets march out. Could you imagine his face if Trump accidentally created the first large majority left-wing police department?
Elise Stefanik: ...fuck.
Everyone else: Yay.
I live in her district I'd be happy for her to leave
Not very hard to read code, but then again his supporters can't be very smart
It would be so nice if my trump supporting neighbors would leave.
A couple of my co-workers were threatening to move to the Carolinas or Kentucky, good riddance.
The sentence isn't enough to drive him away. I think he's only barred from operating his businesses for 3 years
And without him running his businesses (read: committing fraud and tax evasion to make money), there's a good chance they'll collapse during those three years. I can't imagine there's much actual substance to them.
Fox verbatim copied this in their headline. In the article they published on their website nothing about the actual fraud that was proven.
Why would they? Fox News reporting factual news?!
Well they better not make their mass exodus to Pennsylvania, or they'll be totally confused about where they are when Trump loses and the name changes.
I propose we change it to Pencilvania.
It will be so woke there, folks. It will be so woke that they'll welcome all the trans people. And they will change the name! They will change the name that will show the state is part of the woke liberal sleepy Joe Marxism to Transylvania. Some of you might have heard of that place. Dracula came from there. Not a nice guy, Dracula, but he dressed well, didn't he, folks? He dressed well. DRACULA DID NOT HAVE A LOW FLOW SHOWER, DID HE FOLKS? When I am your president, I promise you will have a shower Dracula will be proud of!
(etc.)
I predict that very little will actually happen, and that Trump will keep saying stupid shit.
Capture @stoy@lemmy.zip - he is a confirmed time traveler.
No no, the people of the state of New York (53% Democrat, 28% Republican) will definitely all leave. And move to Mississippi.
So... Rent will be more affordable?
He can go. Shoo.
Gon’ Git’
Granpa...is that you?
This coming from the guy who just said "They are going to rename Pennsylvania..." like a complete idiot
You're never gonna see me again folks...
He's probably commenting on the state of real estate in NYC. If everyone got called on their square footage claims and mortgages, well, it'd be interesting.
Louis Rossmann has covered some of this in his videos hunting for store space in NYC.
He’s not. He’s just being a cry-baby and pandering to his base. The square footage claims were a drop in the bucket as far as the evidence is concerned. Read the full judgement here, it’s approachable to the layperson:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/documents/f203be39-020c-4f82-a423-96aa20c08e3a.pdf
It would be in his nature to take the smallest (and most defensible) claim and pretend that's the whole of it, no?
I wouldn't recommend assigning any sort of intelligent agency to his words right now.
He's an extreme narcissist. He's very likely saying this because he thinks that he's the best at business and so if he leaves, everyone else in business will leave.
He makes the same claims about losing the presidency or literally anything else. It's the narcissist last hope. "you don't know what you're missing out on by not letting me commit crimes in your state!"
Por que no los dos? As the other commenter pointed out, the ruling was on much more than square footage.
Well, at least he's providing a testable prediction. That's new.
He has mass, all right. And that mass will perform exodus. Checks out.
Bad news dumbass, they moved to Florida during the height of COVID, much to our chagrin.
lol, feck off.
With the damage that the Trump's have done to NYC I say bye Felicia
Old man's version of "well you're not invited to my birthday party"
So what happens when he doesn't pay the fine?
Do they get to take his property?
Seriously curious, he's escaped accountability his entire life, what's the mechanism to ensure he pays the Piper now?
I think this is the purpose of appointing a receiver for the Trump org. They would be authorized to sell assets to pay fines if needed.

Lmao this is the most self centered guy in history.
That would be awesome! Make it better for everyone else to experience life without maga morons. Good riddance
I hope they follow him to Fl because all we got here is stears and fucking morons.
Okay
