    These are probably the first times in his entire life that consequences have been progressive, swift, and clear. Every good parent knows how this works. Too bad he comes from a family of malignant narcissists. Emotionally, this man is a toddler.

      It’s a shame just how utterly pointless a $10,000 fine is to him. Literally just putting a price tag on ignoring court orders, and it’s one he can easily afford even with his flagrantly inflated financial reporting.

        Exactly. He’ll never care until he goes to jail. Fining him is a farce. Especially since he’s on trial for fraud. If he pays the fine, it won’t be with his money.

        The height of the fine is not the point. The point is that he has been fined for violation twice already. Three Strikes, anybody?

        If you have $1 Billion, a $10,000 fine is like a $1 fine for someone who owns $100,000.
        Or 10 cents for someone with $10,000.

      Yep, this was nice to see that confirmed.

      “When you looked him in the eye, Michael, what did you see?” ABC News reporter Aaron Katersky asked him.

      “I saw a defeated man. I saw somebody that knows that it’s the end of the Trump Organization,” Cohen said.
