Honestly? It might be cynical to think this way, but all these corrupt, criminal things he's doing? He probably would have been able to get away with it all if he had kept his nose out of politics. You run for office and your life is going to be examined under a fine toothed comb by your opponent, desperately looking for some scandal, some dirt, something to use against you. If Trump didn't get that treatment, he'd probably have a much easier time getting away with a lot of these scandals.
Tara! Long time!!
Given Judge Engoron’s comments in the judgement, Trump probably could have avoided most of that fine (and the other penalties) if he had been a little more contrite. Then again, contrition isn’t really in his wheelhouse.
