Donald Trump’s ex-employee warns ‘you will destroy your empire’ by becoming President | US | News
Donald Trump will “destroy” his business empire if he becomes President again, former Trump Organization employee Dr Randal Pinkett tells Daily Express US.
On Friday, Trump was hit with a huge $350million (£281million) fine in his fraud trial and the judge also said he will be banned from running businesses in New York for three years.
Trump was ruled to have inflated the value of his assets to help him make deals and secure loans.
Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump were also ordered to pay $4million (£3.1million) by the judge.
The former President has always denied wrongdoing and may appeal the decision.

He said: “This is the reason some people say they don’t want to go into politics because they don’t want the heightened attention and heightened scrutiny on their lives.
“It could be because they are private people, or could be because they have skeletons in the closet. Donald is definitely more the latter.
“He thinks he is above the law, and now he has learned that he is not above the law.
“Donald went into the political arena having been successful at business. But it could be the political arena that is the destruction of his business empire.”
Trump’s $350million fine comes after he was also ordered to pay $83million (£65million to former journalist E Jean Caroll in a defamation suit.
Bloomberg estimates Trump’s net worth at over $2billion, but it is not clear how much cash he has at hand.
