The hands that grab former President Donald Trump's New York properties could hand him the White House, a pollster says.
Pollster Frank Luntz appeared on CNN Thursday amid talk that New York state Attorney General Letitia James could begin seizing Trump's assets as soon as Monday.
James sued Trump in a civil fraud case, resulting in Trump being ordered to pay millions, including $464 million to be paid on Monday. Trump has indicated that making the payment – which must be done according to state rules for Trump to appeal – could be difficult, leading to speculation that James could seize Trump's properties in New York state's luxurious Westchester County. Ready to do.
Luntz said that if James does this, she is helping Trump.
“I want you to remember this moment. And don't forget this,'' Luntz said in a video of the segment posted by Mediaite.
“If the Attorney General of New York starts snatching their houses, starts seizing their properties, it will all be on camera. The pundits will sit there and scream about, 'This guy can't be elected.' You are going to make the biggest victim of 2024. And you're going to elect Donald Trump,'” Luntz said.
“If they'd take his stuff, he'd say it's proof that the federal government and the establishment are in the swamp in Washington, and all the politicians around the country and attorneys general and all that, that there's a conspiracy to deprive them of the presidency. ,'' They said.
Luntz said this has happened before.
“He's going to go up in the polls, just like he went up every time they convicted him. The impeachment – and let's not talk about whether it's justified or not – but it will vindicate the things he's been saying during the campaign, and he'll move forward, and it could get him elected president. Don’t forget that,” Luntz said.
Luntz gave James a piece of advice.
“And I say this right now to the attorney general, if you play politics on this, that's what the secretaries of state did in Colorado, and what they did, I believe, in Maine, their numbers in both states It increased,” she said.
Luntz then said that the failed efforts to unseat Trump have made him stronger.
“I don't understand. I'm almost speechless at how pathetic the Trump opposition is and how completely misguided it is. And this is a perfect example of that,” he said.
Luntz said that despite everything being against him, “Trump is leading. And of the seven swing states, Trump is ahead by the margin of error in five of the seven.
“Why is this happening? Because his critics are idiots and he's running a terrible campaign,'' he said.
A clip of the interview appears below.
CNN commentator SE Cupp stated in a follow-up panel dialogue on CNN that many Trump supporters don’t want one more reason to assist Trump.
He stated many citizens “don't care about these items.” You care about the truth that you haven't gotten a increase in 5 years, you care about the truth that the border appears borderless, you care about crime, you care about opioids, you care concerning the financial system. Are.
A former Obama fundraiser and actual property developer stated the fraud lawsuit and tense efforts to punish Trump are errors.
Based on Fox Information, Don Peebles stated, “I’ve expressed concern that I believe selectively implementing an previous legislation is a really slippery slope with no victims in thoughts.”
“I believe they're assured, or assume it's attainable, that it will likely be overturned, after which there will probably be no punishment,” he stated.
“In order that they're simply dashing to inflict as a lot ache on him as attainable proper now as a result of as soon as the appeals courtroom places a cease to it, there will probably be no affect,” he stated.
