Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Worst “businessman” of all time.
Everybody is leveraged over this pos.
He’s a real life “Wimpy” who owes everyone and has nothing.

"MAY"?!
Grow up. HE is beholden to people. He literally owes them money. He's also owned by Putin outright (probably from bribes relating to Trump Tower in moscow, as well as a few loan deals facilitated by Dueches bank... ,)
No shit Sherlock .
A basic security check for even low level government clearance would flag this as a risk.

"Is he somebody who is going to be making policy and being differential to people who have put up money?" Weissmann asked.
I think that should be deferential
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Trump, the likely GOP nominee in the 2024 presidential race, was ordered in January to pay $83.3 million to Carroll, a former Elle columnist, for damaging her reputation after she accused him of sexually assaulting her in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s.
He later added: "There is a simple way of looking at this, is that he has $450 million reasons to be differential if somebody else is putting up the money or co-signing...That issue of who is actually behind this is something that people who are voting should know."
The former president owes further payments in New York after a civil fraud trial judgment was imposed by Judge Arthur Engoron.
Trump was recently fined roughly $355 million, plus interest, in his New York civil fraud case, which accused him, his two adult sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, The Trump Organization and two firm executives of fraudulently overvaluing assets to secure more favorable bank loans and taxation deals.
Meanwhile, Chubb chairman and CEO Evan Greenberg has history with Trump, having been appointed in 2018 to his Advisory Committee for Trade Policy and Negotiations during his presidency.
The Washington Post recently reported it is "not clear from court records what collateral Trump presented to obtain the bond from Chubb."
The original article contains 635 words, the summary contains 211 words. Saved 67%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
