What’s he need a bond for? Isn’t he a billionaire?
It says in the article.
Either he starts paying now, or if he wants to pay after the appeal then he has to have a bond.
Yeah, I was just being rhetorical.
He’s a billionaire the same way I’m a $10k-naire if I get a $10k cash advance from my credit card and put it in the bank.
Shout out to all my 1klionaires
Thousandsaire.
Look at Mr fat cat over here having multiple 1ks.
I don’t have a cat. But rest assured that if I did it would be pampered and, potentially, overfed. So we’ll call that a draw.
Nothing is ever black and white. This is just a stalling tactic or another attempt to reduce the penalty or mitigate the situation until he’s past voting time.
If he wins he’ll just wheel and deal to get others to pay for favors. He’s not banking on losing.
Yeah, I don’t want to be defeatist but he has weaseled out of every single consequence so far.
I’ll believe the consequences when they actually happen. And when they do… Oh boy… I might soil my pants!
Consequences are for the poor and unpopular. The legal system is just there to protect the wealthy owners, it’s not there to deliver justice.
Leticia James is a bad ass who painted this guy into a corner. I love it.
He’s got to be fuming. He’s managed to go 75 years without ever being held accountable by anyone for anything. And now it’s happening. He’ll drain the RNC by August.
Does the Rnc have $400 million on hand to pay his for him?
$8 Million in cash on hand at the start of 2024 per FEC filings. So no.
No
Now even our Gloriously Orange Saviour’s lawyers are spouting FAKE NEWS! Bunch of LINOs!
There’s no bond! There’s no judgement! Some very smart folks are saying there may not even be a legal system! Have you ever actually SEEN a judge?
Fear not, our Incredibly Patriotic and Stable Genius is still running the show from Truthy Social.
Ok, hopefully that’s everyone inoculated.
I think that inoculation caused me to become magnetic.
Quick, take a shower!
I need innoculation against Fucker Carlson please.
Maybe he can get a consolation prize,
The other bond companies will not “accept hard assets such as real estate as collateral,” but “will only accept cash or cash equivalents (such as marketable securities),” the filing said.
Perfection.
They won’t let him pay with play money anymore.
AKA “we have no idea how much your property is actually worth because you’ve been lying about it for years, so we want things that have a value set by someone other than you.”
I’m pretty sure most of his properties are extremely leveraged.
This is what I’m expecting, that or appraisals will end up finding out many of these places are worth way less or need condemning/major work to be sellable.
It’s this.
Anyone would be stoked to lend $500m if he could give them, say, $1b in clear property titles.
He can’t because other banks already have their mortgage registered on the titles, and those banks have obviously reached the limit of what they will offer.
Trump better get to flipping those crusty shoes. 👍🏾
Gee, he can’t pay for his business fraud judgments with his sneaker fraud or his nft trading card fraud?
What about all the bribes he illegally and treasonously accepted by premiers of hostile countries?
Make him sell off his properties. Turn mar-a-lago into an immigration center
Haha, this is a great idea.
I missed the sneaker thing, what’s that all about?
What the fuck.
It’s a front for laundering him money to pay for his legal fees. Nobody will ever purchase those shoes to wear them. They’re going to sit and rot away in a Russian warehouse somewhere.
Dumps showed up at a sneaker convention a few days after receiving his 454-milkion dollar civil fraud judgment with some boxes of gold sneakers that cost $399 a pair in a typically transparent ploy to cover his costs.
Allegedly, his 1000 "never surrender high tops sold out, though he hasn’t paid any of that sentence yet and the thousand available pairs would cover less than .1% of his fines for that single judgment.
Also, a lot of people booed him when he showed up at the convention.
Fox hosts notably thought this was a great way for trump to be "connecting with Black America. Because they’re into sneakers, they love sneakers. This is a big deal. Certainly in the inner city.”
Is Sneaker culture racial? I thought all kinds of weirdos were in to shoes 🤣
Haha, you got it right, sneakerheads are all over. Fox is racial.

My favorite part of the story is when they find him stiff on the toilet and then dress him in these shoes before the weekend at bernie parade.
If only he hadn’t publicly slandered the same person twice more after successfully being sued the first time.
I’m happy for him to repeat the mistakes we know he can be held liable for.
Sadly he posted bond on E. Jean Carol’s settlement so she won’t see a dime for years as it goes through appeals
On the first one, yes. This is the second one, that he’s failed to post bond for, and won’t be allowed to appeal unless he can.
The third was videotaped as he walked out of the verdict on the second.
He’s trying to get his frequent slanderers card punched enough to get the tenth slander for free.
“Unpossible! He’s a gabillionaire! Fake News!”
Maybe his daddy Vlad will bail him out.
Trump and his company need to post a bond for the full amount by next week in order to stop New York Attorney General Letitia James from being able to collect while he appeals.
He doesn’t have the cash to pay, so when NY collects, they can start forcing sales on his property.
If he gets the bond, then it just sits there till after appeals. Which would prevent him from selling property he put up for bond, but he’d still own them.
If he misses that bond, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate
Maybe we should start an organization to buy his buildings as a Cooperative?
Back in the late '80s, Spy magazine had a plan to collect donations to purchase a condo in one of Trump’s buildings - which they were then going to donate to the outgoing president of the Industrial Workers of the World to retire in.
Thanks for the summary, Zap!
“Yoink!”
This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen.
It’s actually quite small.
I see what you did there
I had to use a microscope to see it, but I also saw what was done there
The greatness/size ratio is off the charts!
It’s bigger than my dick.
Wow, that must be a really, really tiny violin. Where can you even get that?!
Well there’s clearly a tardigrade conspiracy here that you’re trying to cover up.
A real Grade T conspiracy
Micronesia
Minuscule Music and More. It’s on the miracle mile right next to Kohls.
I got mine at Instruments by the Nanometer in Copenhagen!
The one in Nørrebro or Valby?
The new one by Ørstedsparken
That looks to be a cello or bass… Violins would have a chin rest.
does he not look well rested to you
Unless of course it’s made for a tardigrade which, like Donald Trump Jr, doesn’t have a chin to make a chin rest at all useful.
That’s for a human grade violin. This is tardi grade.
Unfortunately, tardigrades love the bass and cello and hate violins so the only way to get a photo of one playing the violin would be to fake it somehow
The bow is also on the wrong side of the bridge. Though now that I think of it, that might produce an even higher sound like you would expect of a microscopic violin?
He’s not even holding the bow at the frog. I’m beginning to question if he even knows how to play the violin.
Look, he’s trying, ok? He only started learning last week and it’s an instrument made for a completely different physiology!
With all the legs and fingery things, I feel like tardigrades would probably be better at playing the world’s smallest clarinet.
I think he’d do a superb job with @FlyingSquid’s trombone, too.
I mean, just look at him.
If you’re such a critic, you try teaching a tardigrade how to play a stringed instrument then.
I’d like to subscribe to your tardigrade facts newsletter, please.
I tried zooming in on the headstock to see which direction the tuners point, but the image is all fucky.
On the shoulders alone, I’d say it’s probably a cello although there are basses with round shoulders.
Now THIS is a mene pic!
Oh no. /s
Oh no, he will have to sell the things he inflatated the price for illegally at actual market price.
Below, hopefully.
The aggression in Liotta’s laugher makes it the most appropriate gif.
