New York AG Letitia James has said that she will seek to seize some of Trump’s assets if he’s unable to pay the judgment.
Donald Trump’s lawyers asked a New York appellate court Wednesday to halt collection of the former president’s $454 million civil fraud judgment while he appeals.
Trump’s lawyers said in a court filing that he is prepared to post a $100 million appeal bond rather than a bond covering the full amount, which would have automatically paused enforcement.
They said a provision in Judge Arthur Engoron’s Feb. 16 ruling that bans Trump, his company, and co-defendants from obtaining loans from New York banks for three years would make it impossible for him to obtain a bond covering the full judgment.

So you’re not a fucking billionaire, you demented shitweasel. Got it.
Can you believe the nerve? “Judge, I know part of the reason I’m in hot water is because I lied through my fucking teeth to banks to get them to give me loans, but now that I can’t get loans anymore, I’m outta money, and that’s totes unfair, so can I pretty please get loans again?”
How about no, and fuck all the way off?
Yeah, if you have billions in assets, you can liquidate some of them to pay up. The only way you are unable to pay is if your assets are not actually worth enough.
Sure wish if I had a 500 dollar speeding ticket I could just say “nah I’ll give you 60 bucks”
It’s not like that makes the whole thing go away
He will flee to Russia instantly when there is a risk of jail or too large fine to cover.

That’s an acceptable outcome.
As long as he stays there.
That actually works if you are poor and remorseful. The judge typically has discretion.
Probably would work, if you are a white male.
Either full $454 million or get lost.
Don’t forget the daily fines for late payment.
$465 million according to:
They’re actually kind of doing that in the E. Jean Carroll case. His “appeal bond” has to be 110% of the judgment award, so he has to put up 91.6 million instead of the 83.3 million she was awarded. My understanding is that the extra is to cover the interest that might accrue during the appeals process in the event that she still wins.
Oh I’m sorry, stable genius thought this was a fucking negotiation
And this guy is a frontrunner for president in the USA. Lol what a fucked up country.
If he can’t loans from “shithole” states like New York, why doesn’t he get loans from red states? Are they poor or something?
The ruling prohibits him from applying for loans from any institution “chartered or registered with the New York Department of Financial Services.” New York City is a global financial hub, so the registered clause is going to affect many banks that are headquartered outside of New York.
He is probably waiting to see if his fan base actually raises all the money on gofundme.
How is that going btw? Did they ramp it up to the required $12m a day?
I dont believe so no. Honestly don’t follow it because it just makes my blood boil.
I am blessed by not being an American, so no blood boiling due to that. Russian by birth however, so plenty of other reasons to freak out in the fucked modern world…
Probably tapped out
Whose going to loan someone money now?
If he gets a loan, it’s almost certainly a bribe.
“billionaire”
He’s counting in Rubles
Pay the bill, deadbeat.
So much for being “too rich”.
Trump acting like he’s making another business deal rather than finally meeting up with external reality.
Tbf he’s gotten away with it every single other time lol let’s hope this time it sticks. There are other people invested in Trumps success.
Hell, is that how it works? I’ve been doing it wrong my whole life.
Classic trump, he thinks it’s valued at $454 million, so the true value must be 25% of that.
Cool. Who’s financing him?
The RNC’s suckers.
Sneakerheads love him, according to… uh… him.
Puttie-Bear.
Let’s see how well that works out for him. This oughtta be fun.
Feb. 16 ruling that bans Trump, his company, and co-defendants from obtaining loans from New York banks for three years would make it impossible for him to obtain a bond covering the full judgment.
This is the ABSOLUTE icing on the cake. The beautiful finish to an already amazingly heart-touching fuck around and find out story.
Just think, if he had just made another tv show instead of being president he wouldnt be going through all this.
