Democrats might be on the verge of making the biggest mistake possible.
That’s what pollster Frank Luntz warned during a panel discussion about Democratic DA Letitia James seizing Trump’s assets if he cannot come up with a bond of over $450 million to allow him to appeal a judgment handed down by a liberal judge in New York.
The longtime political consultant and pollster issued his warning during a panel on CNN.
“I want you to remember this moment and don’t forget it,” Luntz said during an appearance on CNN. “If the attorney general starts to take his homes away, starts to seize his assets, it’s all gonna be on camera. Pundits are gonna sit there scream about this, ‘this man cannot be elected.’ You’re going to create the biggest victimhood of 2024 and you’re going to elect Donald Trump. If they take his stuff, he’s gonna say that this is proof that the federal government and the establishment and the swamp in Washington and all the politicians across the country and the attorneys generals and all of this, that this is a conspiracy to deny him the presidency.”
Luntz argued the trend of Trump going up in the polls will continue with the seizing of assets as his criminal charges benefited him in previous polls.
“And I say this to the attorney general right now,” he said, pointing at the camera. “If you play politics on this, this is what the secretaries of state did in Colorado and what they did what I believe is Maine. His numbers went up in both states. I don’t understand, I’m almost speechless in how pathetic the opposition to Trump has been and how completely misguided and this is a perfect example of it.”
James filed a lawsuit against the Trump Organization alleging that the former president committed fraud and overvalued his property and wealth to get more favorable loans. She was initially seeking $250 million in damages and later requested $370 million.
“If they take his stuff, he’s going to say that this is proof that the federal government and the establishment and the swamp in Washington and all the politicians across the country and the attorneys generals and all of this, that this is a conspiracy to deny him the presidency,” Luntz continued. “He’s going to go up in the polls just like he went up every single time they indicted him.”
James has reveled in her abuse of power, going so far as to mock Trump on social media for the interest he owes due to the ruling.

Former presidential candidate and Trump supporter Vivek Ramaswamy has pointed out that the massive fine handed down by the judge is a clear violation of the 8th Amendment, which protects Americans from receiving excessive fines.
The 8th Amendment was designed to protect against excessive fines or bail imposed to achieve unjust ends. Letitia James’ crusade against Trump fits that to a tee. She should be disbarred. pic.twitter.com/EaB7W9YcZ7
