  1. Man thinks he can haggle. There’s not going to be a deal, Donnie… you’re famously shit at this.

  2. Really leaning into that two tier system of justice. If someone unemployed and broke gets a speeding ticket, they’re still expected to pay the fine.

  3. This is not a garage sale Donnie.

    If I offered to pay $100 on my $454 speeding ticket, they would laugh in my face.

  4. Trump would have posted the full bond amount if anybody, anywhere in the world helped with the money. He’s busted out.

  5. 77 yr old man on a fixed income begging the court for leniency.

  6. It says a lot that his daughter and son-in-law won’t float him some of that Saudi money.

  7. Let’s see what trumpdebtcounter.com has to say about it.

  8. This reeks of desperation to buy more time until he can find some other way out of it. I don’t think he has any intention of winning an appeal.

  9. Can’t pay? You’re delinquent? I encourage the court to do whatever the hell they want to you.

  10. A self proclaimed billionaire.

    From the story: 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.

    The have to get loans for this…

  11. Can I kindly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today ?

  12. No no dice, asshole. It’s time to put new locks on his Wall St building and on Trump Tower. If this puts him in a financial strain, I hear that the Four Seasons Pawn Shop will take Melania’s jewelry collection so you can have some hamburder money. Reap what you sow, motherfucker.

  13. No. Just tell him no. This isn’t a renegotiation. Judgement has been handed down. Pay up or consequences.

  14. Much better headline here than some of the others I have read. Trump is *ASKING* the court if this would be sufficient. The other headlines make him look like he is in a position of power “TRUMP POSTS 100 MILLION BOND”… no he didn’t, he failed to post bond, and can only do 100 million.

  15. Trump’s delinquent? In that case, I encourage Ms. James to do whatever the hell she wants. You gotta pay.

  16. The Art of the Deal! He is famous for this, getting huge bills ignoring them then offering minimum payment as “a take it or sue me” offer. Don’t think that will work when your creditor can jail your ass

  17. *”In seeking relief, Mr. Trump’s lawyers disclosed that they would be unable to secure a bond for the full amount, raising the prospect that he might soon default on the judgment if the appeals court denies his request. Without a stay, Mr. Trump’s lawyers warned, he likely would have to sell some of his New York properties “under exigent circumstances,” in what would be a punishing blow to the former president.”*

    Bwahahah LOSER

  18. How can man that owes half a billion (via judgment) to a state government qualify for any type of security clearance. He would (is) be a national security risk.

  19. That’s not how this works. Trump always thinks he can negotiate anything. Also this gives him a talking point that he put up $100mil and they were so biased against him. Who puts up $100mil just to appeal? Election inter…… Blah blah blah.

  20. So he is finding out what the rest of us already know, the State will seize your assets if you can’t pay the fine.
