"I direct Mr Trump to pay the $2,000,000, which would have gone to the Foundation if it were still in existence,"
wrote Judge Saliann Scarpulla.

Trump used the funds raised for US veterans for the Iowa primary election in 2016,

Do you think he may lose the Veterans Vote?

That could upset rather a lot of people, not just veterans. I did a quick search on Wikipedia for Judge Scarpulla, wondering what her (?) political affiliations are and found this instead:
In April 2016, Fox News reported that, more than two months after Trump said he had raised $6 million for military veterans at a pre-Iowa caucus fundraiser, "most of the organizations targeted to receive the money have gotten less than half of that amount."

(?) I'm guessing the Judge is female based on the name, but may be mistaken.

So, the lie that’s being straightened out is something you dug up from 2016.

The judge obviously found your snopes article to be rubbish.

The court had access to other evidence "beyond a reasonable doubt."

Keep guessing.

For a man who has spent his entire adult life taking people to
court you might assume that he trusts the impartiality of judges?

The bizarre thing about Trump is that he tells blatant lies and his supporters continue to hail him as a hero, apologizing for his lies by saying that every other politician lies, too. He told troops on active duty he had given them a 10% pay raise; there was no such pay raise. It was a lie. Yet conservatives still lionize him. Doubtless this latest indication of his corrupt and improper practises will also not alienate his conservative base; they write off the judge as biased, and/or deflect by singing la-la-la about Biden's alleged corruption.

I don't think Trump does accept the impartiality of judges. He merely uses them as tools to get what he wants. He has a history of declaring victory even when courts decide against him.

The people who are upset by Trump being a crook are already not voting for him. If stealing from kids with cancer, baby-snatching, etc. didn't do the trick, this won't either.
