It Sure Looks Like Trump Can’t Pay the Bond in His Fraud Trial

  1. Donald Trump has made a desperate, last minute gamble to delay paying the massive fraud judgment of $354 million.

  2. I like that I’m a nobody and I have a higher net worth than Donald Trump.

  3. This is a ticking time bomb for Trump and he knows it. It’s going to expose him as being a lot less wealthy than he and his supporters say he is.  If he had the money he would have already put it up but he doesn’t have it. 

  4. James’s office calculated last week that, including interest, Trump owes more than $450 million. Trump can appeal the decision, but he has to pay the penalty in full first. And unfortunately for him, he accrues more interest every day

    Oh no…

  5. “What do you mean, ‘Jared’s not answering the phone’!!???!” – Some broke, lying, fraudulent, traitorous, rapist.

  6. Correct me if I’m wrong, but he hasn’t filed an appeal (or posted the associated bond) for the $83M judgment in the E. Jean Carroll sexual assault/defamation suit yet either. And the clock is ticking even more loudly in that one.

  7. Take ownership of MaL and charge the organization $1M monthly rent.

  8. So that means he is financially compromised — vulnerable to (even more) bribery. The media should be shouting this from the highest hilltops.

  9. That’s probably why tRump is desperate to get Lara tRump in position so the RNC will pay his fines.

  10. But surely $500 million is chump change to an actual honest to god billionaire like Trump.

  11. Maybe he could cry a river to Kevin O’Leary for a loan.

  12. Fake billionaire, liar, fraudster, rapist and insurrectionist.

    Let’s put that on his grave.

  13. Are we *finally* starting to see some karma? *Womp womp…*

  14. Not that he just can’t.   He won’t.    The judge caught him right in the headlights. If he wants to appeal, he has to pay the FULL amount as security within 30 days.    Trumps already trying to day the judge won’t let him appeal as well as threatening him… again. The judge just smiles and says, pay the money if you want to appeal.

    His narcissism won’t allow him to shut up and pay. Because he knows if he does then the judge wins.   The judge already won but trump doesn’t want people to see that he backed down to the judge after everything he’s said.

  15. Can’t wait for them to start seizing his properties. Gonna be glorious.

  16. I will start by saying that I do not know if the information is accurate or not, but last weekend, there was info here on reddit showing Musk’s plane in Florida near Mar-a-lago.

  17. “Billionaires, this is your chance to own a presidential front runner!”

  18. This is interesting. Republicans may not care if he murders someone on Fifth Avenue, but they might care if lied about his wealth.

  19. $87,500 in interest a day at “statutory rate of 9%” …good luck with that gofundme campaign.

  20. Trump’s financial struggles underscore his disregard for the law’s consequences

  21. Why can’t he pay it all now. He says he’s worth $10 billion.

  22. The interest adds another million to his fine every 11.4 days. He is screwed.

  23. It’s so funny that he’s out there hawking shitty gold shoes and every snake oil thing that he can think of to try and raise money. This dude has always been a grifter and a conman. I hope they confiscate all his buildings in New York.

  24. My bet is he “can” but it would drain his available cash so severely that it could effectively suspend his campaign outright so he “can’t”. His best bet, as always, is to try and delay.

  25. You know who will be ecstatic if he has to sell? Scotland, the entire country, would very much love it if he sold all his holdings and got the fuck out of their country.

  26. He has been and always will be nothing but smoke and mirrors. P.T. Barnum with stapled-on hair and makeup.

  27. His base is so brainwashed they will never see him as the fraud he is

  28. Maybe he should lay off the avocado toast for a while

  29. He needs an extra 30 days for the saudis or kushner to wash the money enough

  30. Boo fucking hoo. What did he pay in income taxes a few years ago? Like $700? Fuck you Trump. I hope this wipes you out.

  31. Poppa Elon is going to foot his bill. Assholes like other assholes. An asshole that has a bigger asshole in his pocket with a far reach is definitely a prime target.

  32. Hence him putting his daughter in law in charge of the RNC so he can drain their accounts for his fees. He may singlehanded destroy the party.

  33. When I worked as an engineer for General Atomics, I applied for a security clearance (TS). I was approved for Secret, but denied TS due to my credit score and debt. The logic was because my credit was low at the time, it could be used as leverage by a foreign entity to get information out of me. They said the same applies for substantial debt. They determined that due to the amount of my student loans at the time (more than $100k) and my credit (which was below 650) I could not be approved for TS clearance.

    Given the nature of the Presidency, I would hope that the same would apply. This amount of debt absolutely compromises his ability to operate with the knowledge bestowed upon a president, and 100% makes him a security risk. If anyone thinks this man couldn’t be bribed for information, I would assess they are grossly mistaken.

  34. So most Americans cannot get a security clearance with this much debt and criminal history. How’s he even eligible with so many red flags?

  35. it’s time for Melanoma to sell all her golden Bidets, to rescue hubby,

  36. cmon, MAGA pay up that GoFundMe, you guys are almost at 1 mil mark.

    if you’re the true trumper, you should also take out second mortgage on your asset to support trump.
