    He’s going to lose hundreds of millions of dollars and control of his real estate properties. That’s a serious consequence, particularly for someone who is not actually a billionaire and is seeking office mainly in order to drum up business for his real estate properties.

      Lotta folks really want me to be happy with these wrist slaps for Trump. If you are happy with them, I am happy for you. (sincerely so)

      I find this all to be woefully insufficient, and am doubtful sufficient consequences will befall him at any point.
