When was the last time that a judge handed out a fine of 1/10th of a penny for violating a gag order? That's how preposterous this fine is. Comparitively it's even smaller, given Trump's enormous wealth. This isn't a punishment. It's not even the cost of doing business. It's nothing. It's showmanship. You want to punish the fat fucker? Put him in jail. Anything else is nothing. It's literally nothing to him. He does not care.
