Trump wasn't supposed to be moving significant amounts of money around without notifying a court-appointed auditor. He just got caught paying himself so he could pay his taxes.
The hilarious part is that these seem to be perfectly legitimate transactions to me (I mean ya gotta pay your taxes, right?) and this likely would have been no problem if he had just followed the terms imposed by the court. Instead, in his usual "rules aren't for me" approach he has violated the court order once again and will likely face penalties.
He is his own worst enemy.
He most certainly is. And when he's caught, he's always treated "so unfairly". On that I do agree with Trump. Nobody gets treated like he does.
If anyone else defrauded people of more than $100 million, they wouldn't have been allowed to fight the case in a civil trial, and settle it for 25 cents on the dollar with no admission of guilt. They would have been arrested, indicted, and jailed pending trial, then found guilty and locked up permanently. If anyone else threatened judges or prosecutors, they'd be in jail with NO access to social media.
In all fairness to Donald Trump, he believes the rules don't apply to him, because they never have. He's broken the rules all of his life, and he's never been called to accounts for any of the things he's done. When you're a "star", they let you do it.
