Trump sentenced to pay $355 million for inflating the value of his properties. The former president and Republican favorite in the November elections will also not be able to do business in New York State for three years.

The sanction represents a not insignificant amount even for the personal fortune of Trump. In minutes alone, the political action committees (PACs) that articulate his campaign spent about $50 million in donations last year. The Republican has presented himself as a victim of a political witch hunt by the Democrats to torpedo his electoral prospects.
