Kevin O'Leary calls out potential seizure of Trump's assets: ‘What happens in Venezuela, not New York’​

Investment guru Kevin O'Leary was sharply critical Monday on "Mornings with Maria" over the potential seizure of former President Trump's assets should he fail to pay the nine-figure fine in his civil fraud case, calling it akin to a situation in places like Venezuela.

The 2024 Republican frontrunner is currently on the hook for just over $354 million, with post-judgment interest accruing at nearly $112,000 per day. New York Attorney General Letitia James has vowed that if Trump fails to pay, the state will start seizing his assets.

As a businessman, investor and O'Leary Ventures Chairman, O'Leary said the move by the New York court has developers asking whether the fine penalty interest is commensurate with the act.

"Remember there is no money lost, there's no victim here, so essentially just under half a billion-dollar fine for a situation where no monies were lost and the harmed party, supposedly the banks, were fully paid back," he said. "We are wondering does this make sense, asking ourselves how long will it take for the appellate court to bring down to a what reasonable number might be, I have no idea what that is."

In the meantime, while the case is being litigated, O'Leary said investors are not putting any new money into projects in New York, adding he is "very concerned" about the next step of seizing assets.

"Capital comes to America because of the stability of the justice system," he said. "This is not stable, in terms of many people’s eyes, domestically and internationally, seizing assets happens in Venezuela, it doesn’t happen in New York. So this is a little scary."

While this is going on, he said it is going to affect New York's success as the top state for industries like hydro-power, commercial real estate and AI data and will instead lead to a "quiet exodus of capital leaving New York."

Donald Trump is STRIPPED from Illinois Republican primary ballots as judge orders him to be disqualified over his 'role in January 6 riots' - marking third state to try to ban former president

Donald Trump is STRIPPED from Illinois Republican primary ballots as judge orders him to
Cook County Circuit Judge Tracie Porter ruled in favor of Illinois voters who argued Trump should be disqualified from the state's mid-March primary ballot, as well as the November 5th general election ballot. Voters brought their case over Trump's behavior on January 6 , 2021, when he allegedly violated the anti-insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment. Porter delayed her ruling from taking effect in light of an unexpected appeal brought by the former president's legal team.

Biden vs. Trump vs. RFK Jr. polls ( Mar 3, 2024 )

TRUMP | Biden | Kennedy

What amazes me is how many people favor Biden when he's so grossly incompetent that even the most politically naive can plainly see it.
And as always — Trump's just another snake in a suit businessman — not the best sort of presidential leader ( but still better than Biden ).
Personally, I'm not convinced that RFK Jr is actually as low as the graph suggests. This could just be a polling artifact.
RFK Jr's independent polls show him in the lead ( but who really knows anymore ? )

RFK Jr. on corporate media not putting his name in polls: "That’s OK. All we have to do is win the election."

tall, thin, irritable
Hate to say it but I highly doubt RFK is going anywhere. He has said some strange things about vaccines but my doubt springs from any third party candidate. I voted for Ross Perot and when you get down to where the rubber meets the road its pretty much always been two parties. I also hate to say it but Old Joe has a real chance of being reinstalled. We are being led by the nose

Legal experts rally around Supreme Court ruling keeping Trump on ballot: 'Stern warning' to 'radicals'

Reactions from legal experts are pouring in after the Supreme Court voted unanimously in favor of former President Trump and against the effort to remove him from the Colorado ballot for allegedly taking part in an "insurrection."

"The Court showed a divided nation that we remain bound by shared constitutional values," George Washington Law professor Jonathan Turley said on Fox News immediately after the decision was read, adding that this was a "critical moment for this court in history."

"After all of the years we have spent in this Republic we came to a point where these states claimed that they could unilaterally bar the leading presidential candidate from ballots to prevent people from voting for Donald Trump," Turley said. "The court here struck with a strong, and it appears unanimous, voice at least on the result that that’s not going to happen. Voters will vote. They’ll make their own verdict regardless of cases that happen involving President Trump. They will cast the most important verdict of all. They will vote for the next President of the United States."

Musk is currently the second richest man in the world, with an estimated fortune of $200billion.

And papers say Russia is run by oligarchs. It looks more and more that US is run by oligarchs as well.

If Musk supports Trump, somebody would come out of woodwork and support Biden.
