Laughter filled the courtroom in New York on Monday when former President Donald Trump confidently declared, “I’ve got more money than you thought,” during his ongoing $250 million fraud trial involving his Aberdeen golf club. The incident occurred as Trump was questioned about the value of the golf club at the New York State Supreme Court.
The courtroom mirth followed a statement by Trump regarding his opposition to additional buildings at Aberdeen, citing the presence of nearby windmills.
“I’m not a windmill person,” he stated firmly, as reported by Matthew Russell of Inner City Press. “There’s nothing wrong with sitting and waiting if you have the money. And I’ve got a lot of money, more than you thought.”
Upon Trump’s proclamation, audible laughter rippled through the courtroom, capturing the reaction of those present. The laughter underscored the atmosphere in the courtroom as Trump’s statements elicited a spontaneous response from onlookers during the civil fraud trial.
