Trump Has a Hilarious New Excuse for Why He Can’t Put Up Bond: Donald Trump is now trying to get out of posting the bond in his E. Jean Carroll case.

  1. While Trump claims to have plenty of financial assets, the bond would definitely eat significantly into his cash coffers.

  2. The best part is the law doesn’t play some court of public opinion games. You either follow it or don’t, especially at this stage after conviction.

    Doesn’t matter how many rubes twist their granny panties and tell, that’s not how the legal process works.

  3. 87K a day in interest, no appeals until Trump post the bond, take your time and whine.

  4. If he really was rich he’d hold a press conference, stroll in with an entourage of pretty women, midgets and wrestlers (all wearing his gold sneakers), write a personal check, then say something snarky like “Is this all you need?”

  5. Roberta Kaplans office is watching all of this very closely- that I am sure of. She impresses me as someone who will follow all the way through the process to assure accountability on all sides.

  6. Trump is stalling for time to get Vladimir Putin to kill everyone so he can keep his money.

  7. I really hope he fails to comply and they start seizing assets.

  8. “Guys, trust me, I’m rich. I’ll pay eventually.”

  10. Your Honor, my client needs additional time to con his supporters out of more money.

  11. Maybe he should get a powerful character witness, someone like John Barron, for instance.

  12. I love that he has to have conversations every day with his family and lawyers about giving up millions of dollars. Meanwhile he’s getting the RNC to try and cover some or all of it. Leaves down ballot candidates off the train. Lol

  13. I predict by the end of next week he’ll say a dog ate the money.

  14. If he was so rich, he wouldn’t have to appeal such a petty judgment.

  15. “Having argued to the jury that President Trump has great financial resources, Plaintiff is in no position to contradict herself now and contend that she requires the protection of a bond during the brief period while post-trial motions are pending,” Trump’s lawyers wrote.

    The argument is that a bond is to ensure payment if the appeal doesn’t go through, but Trump is really rich so there isn’t a risk of him not having the money should the appeal fail.

  16. If there’s one person I wouldn’t let use the “But you know I’m good for it” defense, it would be Donald Trump.

  17. “They argued that Trump’s extreme wealth was security enough that he would eventually pay. The lawyers also suggested that the court project that the total judgment would be reduced on appeal to $22.25 million, requiring a bond of about $24.48 million.”

    Then what are they worried about? With that kind of wealth he could get a loan for the total. I mean, the banks love him, right? Right?

  18. How long until he starts going to court in a wheelchair pretending to be too sickly to be held accountable?

  20. Trying to twist it ao that he is the victim of an unreasonable Carrol. As if it is her decision how New York laws operate. And, as he has recently been found to lie on his financials and have less wealth than he claims AND seems unable to pay his own way, no one should take an IOU from DJT, fraudster.

  21. This extremely wealthy guy cannot pay today, because he’s actually poor.

  22. “Having argued to the jury that President Trump has great financial resources, Plaintiff is in no position to contradict herself now and contend that she requires the protection of a bond during the brief period while post-trial motions are pending,” Trump’s lawyers wrote.

    The issue isn’t Don Trump’s great wealth.

    The issue is that Trump simply refuses to pay his bills as a matter of course, and has for decades.

  24. Oh the old “check is in the mail” excuse. Do these morons not realize that the courts don’t care and interest will keep acruing? I hope he is financially ruined and has to sell off assets. F that guy.

    Edit. I also saw this morning that he or his campaign owe money to a bunch of cities for his rallies.

  25. Every single day it’s something new and stupid coming out of his cock holster

  26. I mean it worked for how he was able to avoid taking a mugshot for all his criminal proceedings (except Georgia). The excuse was there was no need for a mugshot because everyone knew who he was

  27. “Hilarious” but watch him walk all over your country because this will probably work, and you’ll all be outraged again.

  29. If I loans tied into the trump world or business dealings that could go bust because of THAT imbecile I would have no one to blame but myself.

    I will go to my grave scratching my head wondering how anyone would find trump “charismatic, trustworthy and intelligent” do want to do business with him

  30. > They argued that Trump’s extreme wealth was security enough that he would eventually pay. The lawyers also suggested that the court project that the total judgment would be reduced on appeal to $22.25 million, requiring a bond of about $24.48 million.

    Trump: I am rich. I cant prove it but believe me I am rich, some say I am super rich. So I wont pay the fine right now, but I will. And because I am rich I will eventually pay you. btw I think the fine is too high, you know because now that i have established I am super rich I don’t want to pay all the fine, so i will pay you less. Eventually ofcourse. And yes vote for me. I hate gays, blacks, jews, browns, liberals, muslims, sikhs, canadians, europeans, nato, nafta, obamas, bushs, clinton, mexicans, immigrants, women, california, new york, starbucks, disney, .

    I know you will find someone in there that you hate.

  31. I think Trump was completely broke before becoming president, but I find it hard to believe he didn’t steal BILLIONS along with all his family & grifters from the $2 trillion Covid relief fund. Didn’t he also make like $1 million every time he golfed by using his resort while President, he must have golfed 500+ times so thats half a billion right there 🤣

  33. None of this is funny. People really need to stop enjoying it and face it with the appropriate level of alarm.

  35. > They argued that Trump’s extreme wealth was security enough that he would eventually pay

    Then there shouldn’t be any problem posting the money

  36. “Watch me bullshit my way out of this like I always do!”

    (bullshit doesn’t work)

    “Political persecution! So unfair!”
