New York Resident Greg Gutfeld Threatens to Move to Florida Over Trump Being Fined for Fraud

Fox News host and New York resident Greg Gutfeld threatened to move to Florida on Wednesday in protest over former President Donald Trump’s $354 million civil fraud fine in New York.

After New York Attorney General Letitia James said Trump’s whopping fine would be “paid to New Yorkers,” Gutfeld asked on The Five, “What does she mean by that?”

He insisted:

No, we’re not getting paid, we’re not getting paid because there is no victim. Where is the $355 million gonna go if Trump owes the bank zero? The bank agreed he owes them nothing because he fulfilled the contract, he broke no laws. You know people, whenever they bring up Trump, they always say, “No one is above the law.” Well, what law– apparently this is a first, as Kat Timpf pointed out yesterday. It’s about being below the law. Trump is below the law, meaning you can punish him for not crossing into illegality, much like the rest of us.

Gutfeld argued, “Trump is 100% innocent in this. It can’t be fraud, because who is it against? When I’m in a contract negotiation, I can pretty much present anything I want, because the other side will assess it and come back with their number, and then we agree. There’s nothing hidden in a contract.”

He concluded:

I think this is all an act to keep Trump off his game. That’s all this is. But this is why we all need to move to Florida, Fox, because I never thought that my politics and political choices would affect my privacy, my speech, and my livelihood, but that’s how it is these days. They’re gonna do what they did to Trump, they’re gonna do to you and me, and how soon before I get arrested for public indecency? And this time, I will be innocent.

Trump has maintained his innocence and has indicated that he will appeal the judgment.

Meanwhile, James warned this week that if Trump could not find the funds to pay his fine, “we will ask the judge to seize his assets.”

James has suggested that the Trump Building at 40 Wall Street could be seized, declaring, “We are prepared to make sure that the judgment is paid to New Yorkers, and yes, I look at 40 Wall Street each and every day.”
