New Yorkers Silently Worrying Over Ramifications Of Trump Ruling

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : "If you talk to people in this market, they are very, very upset ... and these are people who are neutral or even opposed to Trump," Mr. Trzcinka told The Epoch Times.
43% : That's not only because of the crippling dollar amounts involved, the sources said, but also because President Trump and his associates were behaving within the bounds of normal business practice and victimized no one.
41% : "I don't think a bonding company [or a bank] is willing to be associated with Donald Trump ... because the attorney general could turn around and sue them, go after them," Mr. Trzcinka said.
41% : About $355 million of the total order specifically applied to President Trump.
41% : Marshaling that much cash to post the bond in just 30 days proved to be a daunting task for President Trump; the appellate court's ruling granted him 10 more days to post a reduced $175 million bond.
36% : Speaking to reporters after the March 25 appellate court's decision, President Trump called Judge Engoron's original decision a "disservice" to New York.
34% : Even before interest was added, Judge Engoron slapped President Trump with "the largest penalty in history" for a case of its kind, said Mr. Trzcinka.
25% : Doing so would paint targets on their backs -- an underlying reason why President Trump was unable to persuade bonding companies or banks to cover the original $464 million bond, Mr. Trzcinka and the sources said.
24% : An appeals court's decision to slash the bond by about 60 percent, reducing it to $175 million, still left a massive penalty intact while President Trump continues a legal challenge of Justice Arthur Engoron's ruling.
24% : However, people who dislike President Trump are cheering on Ms. James.
22% : Before the court-ordered bond reduction, the original $464 million bond amount included a $363 million judgment that Judge Engoron levied against President Trump and his associates, plus 9 percent interest.
16% : Judge Engoron ruled that President Trump and his associates committed fraud by overvaluing his properties.
15% : Judge Engoron ruled that President Trump and his associates fraudulently overvalued their assets.
