as i already commented on another com:

meaning raping someone cost him 0.07% of the money he grifted only during his presidencies

He just needed a billion dollars from gaming the stock market in order to pay her

The true news is that Trump actually paid what he was owed.

It wasn't his choice, ha!

Good on her and her legal team. Very few of the people that Trump has harmed ever get court-ordered compensation, and even fewer successfully collect it. To go toe-to-toe with arguably the greatest abuser (of our legal system) in recent memory and come out with anything at all to show for it is a massive accomplishment and I can only hope she is feeling some small sense of justice finally done today.

You mean her lawyer collects 5 million. I can assure you a ton of that money going to them. Wonder what cost to appeal to the Supreme Court?
