MSNBC host Al Sharpton argued that the $354 million civil fraud trial judgment against Donald Trump, along with a three-year corporate officer ban, will have profound psychological effects on the former president.
Sharpton noted Trump still faces four additional costly legal battles while trying to fundraise for a potential 2024 campaign.
“Let’s not forget, he’s still facing four trials he’s got to pay lawyers, and he doesn’t know how long the trials are going to last,” began Sharpton.
“He does not know what is going to be the consequence there. He can raise money. Whether he can raise $450 million when I combine these and pay lawyers for four different trials, I mean, you’re talking about a lot of money. I don’t know that at some point his contributors don’t get exhausted in terms of this. Then he’s got to run a campaign,” he continued.
With expenses for lawyers and trials totaling over $450 million, Sharpton questioned how long Trump’s contributors can sustain that level of spending.
Moreover, Sharpton stated that as a self-described control-freak who ran his organization alone, Trump will be deeply troubled having to seek permission from others for decisions.
Sharpton added, “Don’t forget also, he’s a control freak. Do you know how it will impact him that he has to go and ask someone to write a check. This will drive him completely nuts. Donald Trump ran his organization. Any of us that ever met with him pro or con, he ran everything. He signed the checks, everything is named after him.”
“He now has to go and say ‘I want to do this but I have to ask somebody. I want to cut this deal, let me get the monitor on the phone.’ He is a broken person psychologically because now he cannot make any decisions without permission. He’s never had that in his life,” explained Sharpton.
In Sharpton’s view, the legal and financial pressures have “broken” Trump psychologically by stripping away his autonomy.
