Donald Trump has to pay record bail in New York.
Before that, he rails again about the main participants in the fraud process.
Washington, DC – Suddenly the Caps Lock key got stuck again.
In all caps, Donald Trump let his anger out at the end of a tirade.
These are not people who made America great, wrote Donald Trump, based on his motto “Make America Great Again.”
No, Trump rumbled on the online platform Truth Social: “THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DESTROYING AMERICA!”
But who did he mean by that?
The main participants in Trump's fraud trial in New York: Attorney General Letitia James and Judge Arthur Engoron.
In February, Trump was fined more than $350 million.
With interest, the total amount due is now more than $450 million.
After the Engoron decision, James gave Trump 30 days until March 25 to post that bail.
Donald Trump gossips about Prosecutor James and Judge Engoron
In a second post, Trump followed up again.
He spoke of “radical, left-wing lunatics and communists” who demanded he pay a “ridiculous and completely unprecedented fine” in dollars “just because they saw a similar amount in my bank account.”
He planned to use a large part of this hard-earned money to run for president in the US election in November.
“They don’t want me to do this – ELECTION INTERFERENCE!”
At the same time, in a monster sentence of 73 words, he once again addressed the “corrupt” judge and the “even more corrupt” attorney general, whom he once again dubbed “Peekaboo”.
He's been doing this for quite some time.
It is unclear why he chose this name for James, which actually describes a game for small children (peek-a-boo or peek-a-boo).
There are several theories,
New York Magazine
has listed six alone.
Trump calls Letitia James “racist”
The most popular version goes like this: Trump wants to insult James in a roundabout way.
He actually means an expression that rhymes with “peekaboo” and starts with a “J.”
A definition can be found at dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster.
But former Trump confidant Michael Cohen can't imagine that.
Even though Cohen has testified before Congress that Trump is a "racist," he told
Business Insider
there was no way Trump would use such an obvious racial slur in public.

On the other hand, Trump's verbal outbursts are part of his usual approach.
Early in the fraud trial over the future of his business empire, he called Letitia James “racist.”
Judge Engoron then forbade him to make any further defamations.
But Trump didn't care.
