The Judge Who Thought He Was Bigger Than the Constitution
Remember Judge Arthur Engoron? The robe-wearing Trump hater who gleefully slapped a half-billion-dollar fine on the 45th President? Well, he just got a legal spanking from the New York appellate court. His “$500 million hit job” wasn’t just wrong—it was unconstitutional. Turns out the Eighth Amendment still means something, even in New York. Who knew?
Trump Survives the Lawfare Blitz
For years, Democrats have tried to bury Trump under lawsuits, indictments, and fines. They called it “accountability,” but we know it was lawfare—plain and simple. And now? Their poster-boy judge has been caught overplaying his hand so badly that even other liberal judges couldn’t stomach it. The penalty is gone. Trump? Vindicated. The Left? Humiliated.
Engoron in the Hot Seat
Here’s the kicker—Engoron himself is now under investigation by the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct. Why? Because an outside lawyer allegedly slid him some “helpful reading material” before his ruling. Judges aren’t supposed to take hints like they’re cramming for finals, but Engoron may have done just that. If true, he could face censure, suspension, or even removal from the bench. Karma’s got a funny sense of timing.
Judicial Activism Meets Reality
This is what happens when a judge thinks his job is playing Resistance Fighter-in-Chief instead of applying the law. Engoron turned his courtroom into MSNBC primetime, and the appellate court just turned off the cameras. His judgment wasn’t just excessive—it was political theater dressed up as law. The Constitution doesn’t bend for Trump haters, and Engoron just found that out the hard way.
Trump’s Political Momentum Just Got Rocket Fuel
While Engoron is scrambling to save his own career, Trump walks away stronger than ever. Democrats thought draining Trump’s wallet would drain his campaign. Instead, they handed him a massive win. The man they wanted to bankrupt just got to remind America that the “system” really is stacked against him—and that he keeps beating it anyway.
Final Thoughts
Arthur Engoron thought he’d be the judge who took Trump down. Instead, he might go down in history as the judge who got caught playing politics and had his ruling nuked from orbit. Trump didn’t just win in court—he won another chapter in the bigger fight against weaponized lawfare.
And that’s a verdict Democrats won’t appeal.
