Donald Trump was supposed to have to post a $464 million bond by Monday or else the state of New York could begin collecting on the massive civil fraud judgment leveled against him earlier this year. An appeals court bailed him out, blocking collection of the judgment and giving the former president 10 days to post a drastically reduced $175 million bond.

The order is a huge win for Trump, whose assets were going to be subject to seizure if he couldn’t post nearly half-a-billion dollars by Monday. His lawyers said last week he wasn’t going to be able to come up with the money after 30 underwriters rejected him. The New York Times has reported that Trump is expected to be able to scrounge the new, reduced $175 million bond

    Actually he can’t pay that much either!

    Poor Trump!

    Okay, I figured it out! How about all his republicans buy his golden shoes, I wash his car, and give him a personal back massage? Rob you fix up his fence, Stephen, you and Mary go and vacuum under all his beds. Frederick and Stacey will do the cooking for month.

    How does that sound? And I also want to give him 5 bucks. Is that okay for bail?

    But, but, but, I only like girls! , I couldn’t possibly! And my neck and knees hurt! Fine! Okay but only the top and only for a minute. Rob will take second turn when he’s done with the fence.
