HUZZAH!
Schadenfreud abounds!
LIEberals and anti-Trumpers heads are exploding! I love it!
He now has to fork over ONLY $175 million instead of $450 million, and he has 10 days to make bond! LOL!
AND, he has the cash! LOL!
AND, the LIEberals and anti-Trumpers will not get to confiscate any of his real estate!
Schadenfreud abounds!
