The ruling yesterday doesn’t take Trump’s businesses away from him. It’s not like civil forfeiture. Only in the most extreme case could he be forced to sell them, and it’s not at all clear that would be the outcome, anyway. And he still gets to keep the money if he sells it. I wonder if people were getting a little overexcited yesterday. The $250 million fine will sting, though.
