The Radical Left has thrown everything they have at Trump, and they think they have won. But they couldn’t be more wrong.
Because Trump made a massive counter-move in court that has Democrats red with rage.
On Tuesday, a judge in New York ruled in favor of a civil case against Trump, ordering a substantial financial penalty of $354 million.
This decision has sparked discussions surrounding the concept of “excessive fines” outlined in the 8th Amendment of the US Constitution.
Trump himself weighed in on the issue and took to his platform Truth Social to speak out.
He posted text of the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution which states “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”
This came after Trump was fined over $350 million in a NYC case that was handed down from New York Judge Arthur Engoron.
Judge Arthur Engoron, presiding over the case, ruled in favor of the plaintiff and imposed the outrageous financial penalty as “compensation” for the damages incurred.
Trump’s legal team raised concerns about the size of the penalty, citing the 8th Amendment’s protection against “excessive fines.”
This amendment prohibits the imposition of unreasonably high financial penalties that are considered disproportionate to the offense or crime committed.
Trump and his team argue that the $354 million penalty falls outside the boundaries of reasonable punishment and constitutes an “excessive fine.”
An Associated Press analysis of similar cases revealed that such large financial penalties are uncommon, raising questions about the potential precedent this case might set.
Additionally, the analysis noted that most similar cases involved identifiable victims who suffered financial losses due to fraudulent activities, which might not be directly applicable to this specific case.
Trump and his legal team are expected to challenge the ruling, potentially leading to further legal proceedings and appeals.
Whether the courts deem the $354 million penalty as “excessive” remains to be seen.
However, the American people know the truth, and we know what is going on:
Trump scares the Radical Left, and they are doing everything in their power to hinder him and prevent him from becoming President again.
This case has reignited discussions about the role of financial penalties in civil cases and the need for clear guidelines regarding what constitutes an “excessive fine” in the context of the 8th Amendment.
The Radical Left thinks that they can interfere in our rights as outlined in the Constitution, but they are sorely mistaken.
We the people will not stand for this absurd weaponization of the Justice system.
We will continue to fight for true justice in this country.
Donald Trump continues to fight legal battle after legal battle, while the most corrupt President in history remains untouched.
