Donald Trump showed up to court for his civil trial in New York on Monday, but the women of “The View” are pretty sure there’s only one reason for that. According to the ABC hosts, it simply comes down to protecting his appearance of wealth.
The current case in New York asserts that Trump over-valued his real estate assets while growing his empire, resulting in better deals from the banks. If he’s found liable, the four-time criminally indicted former president stands to lose several properties to pay off what he owes, including Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago.
Discussing the civil case on Tuesday, host Sunny Hostin argued that “the reason he even showed up at this is because this threatens everything about his alleged empire, which he doesn’t really have, we all know.”
