I'd like to see some consequences that don't require understanding of his narcissism to feel like consequences, that's all.
He's going to lose hundreds of millions of dollars and control of his real estate properties. That's a serious consequence, particularly for someone who is not actually a billionaire and is seeking office mainly in order to drum up business for his real estate properties.
There's a reason why is acting so outraged right now, and it's because he's not acting.
Wake me up when he's not living a 1% lifestyle.
Lotta folks really want me to be happy with these wrist slaps for Trump. If you are happy with them, I am happy for you. (sincerely so)
I find this all to be woefully insufficient, and am doubtful sufficient consequences will befall him at any point.
If you want Trump to face more than a fine, then you'll have to wait for him to actually be convicted of a crime. That won't happen until next year at the earliest. And while conviction is the most likely outcome, it's not guaranteed.
