  1. Why doesn’t his buddy putin put up the money?

    Edit: Reddit doesn’t understand the concept of rhetorical question

  2. >In a nearly 5,000-page document filed on Monday, Trump’s attorneys argued that the fine was “grossly disproportional” to Trump’s offenses, which included defrauding banks, insurance companies, and investors by falsely inflating his wealth and the value of his properties.

    His entire business was a criminal enterprise. How is it “disproportional?” The guy should be in prison over his involvement in the scheme…

  3. Like a scheming spouse emptying out a joint bank account ahead of a divorce, he may have been shuffling assets around to hide them. Like maybe Caymans.

  4. Dude has provided no proof he has even tried to find a way to pay.

    He’s going to lose everything.

    If he had kept his mouth shut, paid his taxes, and never run for office, he’d likely be doing pretty well right now.

  5. Typical of the MAGA traitor to blame everyone but himself.

    I don’t know how MAGAs look in the mirror. “Patriots” they ain’t.

  6. Either he’s lying about being richer than he is or he’s lying to try and get out of fronting the money for the bond.

    The common denominator here is Trump lying.

  7. “Were you lying previously under oath or are you lying now?”

  8. How many billionaires given 30 days to pay $464 million would be unable to pay ?
    Trumps not a real billionaire

  9. Donald Trump’s tombstone will read “Here Lies Donald Trump, as Always”.

  10. He just lied in the other recent civil judgment. Can’t get bond for this amount, when he already obtained bond. Horrible negotiating skills.

  11. I swear, if I live to be 200, I will never understand how Donald Trump squandered the head start he got in life. I mean, I understand that his dad sucked. But that only gets you so far. I know lots of people who had horrible dads who didn’t become… this

    He could have lived perfectly comfortably on his inheritance forever and done nothing. He could have done a world of good and STILL had enough money left over for a comfortable life. And somehow, he got himself to the point where either he’s going to lose everything or sell America to the highest bidder to try to postpone losing everything, or both. Probably both.

    How do you fail this hard?

  12. 5000 pages??? There are 500 pages of paper in a ream, 10 reams in a box/case of standard printer paper. The last printed edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica was 2010 and 32,640 pages in length. These clowns printed off A – E worth of an encylcopaedia to try and weasel their way out of paying the fine. What a waste of time and paper. Send in the sheriff and start the foreclosures.

  13. “The Bonding Companies have never heard of such a bond, of this size…”

    That’s because smart businesses and businesspeople don’t let themselves be put into a situation where they are facing a judgment of that magnitude unless they have a plan in place, ahead of time, to afford the appeal.

  14. For 50+ years, I have never stolen, never cheated on taxes, never failed to return something that inadvertently came into my possession.

    I have never cheated on an exam in school, never plagiarized material in a presentation nor any thesis or research article submission. I have never lied or falsified my academic or employment history.

    All personal interactions I have had were consensual. I have never knowingly propagated any blanket generalizations about groups of people – protected or not. I always try to treat individuals with respect and dignity – and strive to question my assumptions about people before saying or acting on them.

    Whenever someone tried to bribe me – my answer was either immediate “no” or, if I liked the individual “sorry, no.”

    I have never seen one million dollars in one place in my life. And – I have done the math – I never will.

    So fuck this guy. I hope losing his assets is the *best* of things that happens to him before he dies.

  15. He learned from his mafia lawyer Roy Cohn how to cheat and b.s. his way thru life, the bill has come due.

  16. Is there ever a time when he isn’t lying?

    Truthfully, he may be the most prolific liar ever documented.

  17. So if they take his golf course where his wife is buried, will we get to see why it took 10 men to carry her casket?

  18. Fire sale please. Dibs on the leopard robes he got from the Saudis.

  19. Fristly, the article does NOT say that the AG says Trump is lying. The article says that the AG says that the people who filed the document are not considered to be trustworthy.

    Second, it doesn’t matter if he’s lying or not — whether he hasn’t actually tried to find the money, or if no one will give him the money, is immaterial to anything.

    Thirdly, if the court gives him any further wiggle room, I am going to be PISSED as FUCK.

  20. “Trump is lying* is a correct reply to any claims he makes about 90% of the time.

  21. The only people able to lay a finger on this crook are women. It must eat him alive.

  22. The ironic thing about the fine being “unfair” is it isn’t even a fine. It’s just the fraud he committed. Every dollar he earned from overvaluing property, to loan costs he saved, and more was comprised as the fine. Not a penny more. Plus the interest

  23. Send him to collections like they do every poor sucker who owes a dime to the state.
