Several of the cases are outright ridiculous: Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, for one, opted to resurrect hush-money charges against Trump that his predecessor and federal authorities found too weak.
In state Attorney General Letitia James' civil fraud case, Trump did nothing others in his industry don't do every day; even the judge admits no one was harmed - yet somehow Trump drew a $454 million penalty, which he was required to pay even before he could appeal.
Indeed, Trump's motions have already won him victories in that case: He and his two sons are no longer barred from leading their company, and he now has to post 'only' $175 million before appealing.
The election-interference cases - one brought by special counsel Jack Smith, the other by scandal-scarred Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis - are also stretches.
