A New York appeals court on Monday agreed to hold off collection of former President Donald Trump’s $454 million civil fraud judgment — if he puts up $175 million within 10 days.
If he does, it will stop the clock on collection and prevent the state from seizing his assets while he appeals.
My optimistic side believes this is the courts humiliating him by publicly demonstrating that he is not an actual billionaire. They’re aware that he has no ability to pay half a billion, and they want as much as they can actually get from him.
Oh no, that would just open up a whole huge can of worms.
If he goes, then it would be bad if there’s even a whiff of it being murder or assassination. As it is when he dies there’s going to be conspiracy nuts that will declare it an assassination no matter what.
The question is how many people would be receptive to a conspiracy theory.
There are some that will see, in person, an earthquake collapse buildings including one that kills Trump and assume the earthquake was made to assassinate him, but not too many folks would bite.
If he gets taken out by a “lone gunman”, then a lot of people are going to assume conspiracy.
Given his lifestyle, age, and physique, the most likely seems to be some cardiac event which will still be bad because some folks will scream “poison”.
Best case is that the voters reject a still-living Trump, and weather the least bad of the likely unfounded conspiracy theories.
Well sure we have millions who actually voted for a dehydrated mango who tried to overthrow the government to become God emperor. Many of whom still support him afterwards. Trust me I get it.
Well, it is the third most populated country. Out of 340 million people I imagine there’s quite a few you would absolutely hate and quite a few that you’d be great friends with.
ONCE AGAIN, Donald Trump is treated with the kid gloves by the courts. Inconceivable. On the day the judgement was to be collected, Trump gets an absolute boon from the heavens above with a 10 day extension and a bond requirement of less than half of the original sum? For what reason? Trump defrauded the American people. He does not deserve special treatment.
Well, he did say that there is a two tiered justice system. Here is the proof that there is. I challenge any MAGA believer to attempt HALF what this guy has done and see if they get the same treatment as him. Go on, I’ll wait
There was no way anybody was going to let him sell his properties in a fire sale with commercial real estate being in such a precarious position already.
It would be wonderful to apply to Trump, but in reality with our current political climate, debtor’s prison would be used by Blackrock and BOFA to imprison millions of people.
They would do some fuckery with interest rates, look at businesses with some added columns, and see how many employees they could imprison through buying the company and causing its collapse.
