In a move that can only be described as Governor Hochul trying to have her cake and eat it too, the Governor of New York has gone on a media blitz to assure businesses in the state that they will not face the same legal fate as former President Donald Trump. Hochul’s reassurance comes in the wake of Trump being slapped with a hefty $355 million fine for allegedly manipulating his net worth to secure favorable loan terms. The audacity of it all!
Clean Up on Aisle Engoron: Hochul Attempts to Reassure NY Businesses They Won't Suffer Trump’s Legal Fate https://t.co/J8CkTJNspA

Governor Hochul, in a radio interview, made it known that she believes New York’s law-abiding businesspeople have nothing to fear because they are oh-so-different from the big bad Trump. But let’s not be fooled by this political theater. It’s crystal clear to anyone paying attention that Trump’s legal troubles are nothing but a witch hunt aimed at tarnishing his reputation and derailing any future political ambitions he may have. But alas, MSNBC, of all places, even had to scratch their heads at this blatant abuse of power.
Let’s call a spade a spade here. By going after Trump in this fashion, New York is sending a chilling message to businesses – play ball with the left’s agenda or face the consequences. And let’s not forget the elephant in the room – the mass exodus of businesses and wealthy individuals from high-tax, heavily regulated states like New York. Can you blame them? Who wants to stick around and foot the bill for social experiments and handouts to illegal immigrants?
It’s not just about Trump; it’s about the bigger picture. The case against Trump sets a dangerous precedent where businesses could be targeted for minor infractions or political vendettas. Let’s not forget, the banks involved in Trump’s dealings didn’t even lose a single penny! This selective prosecution is driving a wedge between businesses and the state, pushing them towards friendlier shores like Florida. Can you really blame them for wanting to escape the madness?
In the end, it all boils down to power and control. Governor Hochul can try to sugarcoat it all she wants, but the reality is clear. New York’s actions are speaking louder than any reassurance she can offer. Businesses beware – tread carefully in this political minefield. And as for the voters, keep your eyes wide open come election time. The future of New York’s business landscape could very well depend on it.
