Letitia James Targets Trump Children in Escalated Feud

Source: Newsweek

New York Attorney General Letitia James on Tuesday asked a judge to sanction former President Donald Trump, his three eldest children and their attorneys for making "demonstrably false" denials in relation to the $250 million fraud lawsuit James filed last year against the Trumps and the Trump Organization.

Mr. Arthur Engoron is the presiding Judge in this case.

At one point, The Trump Crime Family must be spayed, pauperized, neutered, and muted.

For Pete's Sake, ex-Pres. Nixon gave us Julie, who married Pres. Eisenhower's grandson. What has Donald John Trump, Jr. spawned?

Jr. has already spawned (5 kids with his ex-wife), but at least Guilfoyle's genes were not involved.

Unfortunately, lots of Trump DNA has already been released into the gene pool: 10 grandkids so far, with no doubt more to come from his two youngest kids. Ugh.

how Gargoyle's womb was a barren and rocky place where no one's seed could find purchase".

Paraphrased from "Raising Arizona" re. Hi talking about Ed's not being able to get pregnant, the precursor to them kidnapping "Junior" from the Arizona quintuplets.

I have no doubt that Gargoyle's womb is a toxic waste site. 😑

I didn't know that and had to Google it. She has a 16 year old son from her second three-year-marriage. That's how long marriages last with her I guess. She hasn't married Junior, and I doubt she will. I think his time is about up though.

and the marketability of her "wares" within each. There are many more brazillionaires on the right side of the ledger.

She thought she had found the heir-apparant to the Trump "dynasty" with Don Jr. Remember, the Trumps were going to be bigger than Kennedys, than Bushs, than anyone! There were already "Don Jr. 2024" bumper stickers for sale. Plus all those $BILLIONS$ in the Trump fortune!

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Ms. Gargoyle give Jr. his walking papers soon. There's a lot of drama in the Trump family future, along with hundreds of millions in fines.

The Trump ledger book is looking leaner, and leaner by the minute. Kim will want a new sugar daddy before her "sacks-appeal" completely deserts her. Don Jr. isn't nearly intelligent enough to make $BILLIONS$ on his own.

She's already ground her money-maker on enough GQP laps to have garnered some interest, I'm sure.

I like your avatar.

Do you think that Barron Trump could be so ashamed that he would change his name in the future?

From wiki: https://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Barron_Trump

Not to dispute or disagree with you, but I am politely holding my breath.

The answer is no (great documentary out on how Hitler’s living relatives worked to extinguish the family name)

I want the name Trump to be so embarrassing, no one wants it on their Driver’s license.

Same with the Sackler (OxyContin) family.
