So sorry, leftist Quislings, but, you will learn to accept it.
The Left Goes Into Overdrive With Trump Derangement Syndrome
By: Joseph Klein
March 29, 2024
The Left is more crazed than ever with Trump Derangement Syndrome. Debunked conspiracy theories such as Russiagate and the relentless lawfare campaign conducted against Donald Trump, the former president and presumptive Republican presidential nominee for the 2024 election, are not enough to satiate the appetites of the Trump-haters. They want to see him in jail and ruin him financially while trying to marginalize any persons whoever worked with or supported Donald Trump as extremists determined to destroy democracy.
For example, the Left has been salivating at the prospect of New York Attorney General Letitia James’ seizure of Mr. Trump’s prime properties to enforce the judgment against him in Attorney General James’ civil fraud case. Mr. Trump faced the prospect of losing his properties if he could not arrange a nearly $500 million bond in time to cover his liability while he appeals the New York court ruling against him.
Squad leader Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) claimed there was a significant “risk in not seizing these assets.” She lives in an alternative universe.

To put into perspective the huge bond that Donald Trump was required to come up with in his civil case, consider what happened in two prominent criminal cases. Bernie Madoff was released on a $10 million bail in 2008 after confessing to his $50 billion Ponzi scheme. Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, was released on a $250 million bond in a case for which he was ultimately convicted on multiple criminal counts. Yet AOC and her left-wing comrades believe that Donald Trump’s properties must be seized in a civil case to avoid an imaginary risk.
AOC and her fellow travelers wanted to put Donald Trump into a box with the outrageously high bond requirement but they did not get their wish.
Joy turned to anger and outrage on the Left when an appellate court reduced Mr. Trump’s bond requirement to $175 million, which is still extremely high but a requirement that Mr. Trump said he could meet.

Attorney General James’ office said in a statement that “Donald Trump is still facing accountability for his staggering fraud” even though her case for alleged “staggering fraud” is built on quicksand.
The civil fraud lawsuit itself is a shining example of lawfare initiated by an attorney general who campaigned on the promise to get Donald Trump once and for all. She used an obscure New York law meant to address consumer fraud in an effort to destroy Mr. Trump financially. Judge Arthur Engoron, who presided over the case, decided that Mr. Trump was liable for fraudulently inflating his assets to obtain favorable loan terms. Judge Engoran reached this decision without a jury trial or any trial at all for that matter where Mr. Trump’s defense team would have had the opportunity to present its own evidence and cross-examine the attorney general’s witnesses.
