KEY POINTS
- Donald Trump should have pledged real estate to the courts if he were “truly unable” to secure a bond, the New York attorney general’s office said.
- Instead, Trump claimed it was “impossible” for him to get a bond using his properties, but did not provide any hard evidence for this, the AG’s office said.
Donald Trump should have pledged real estate he owns as collateral against a $464 million business fraud judgment if he were “truly unable” to secure an appeal bond for that amount, the New York attorney general’s office said in a court filing Wednesday.
Trump also failed to provide evidence supporting his claim this week that it was “impossible” to obtain an appeal bond by using the properties as collateral, a lawyer for AG Letitia James wrote.
“Defendants supply no documentary evidence that demonstrates precisely what real property they offered” to potential insurers," wrote Dennis Fan, senior solicitor general in the AG’s office, in the filing to Manhattan appeals court judges.
Nor did they report “on what terms that property was offered, or precisely why” bond insurers “were unwilling to accept the assets.”
It really has the possibility to not only hobble his campaign and his ego, but to also mentally unbalance him even further since he’s built his entire personality around being rich. He’s almost certainly in a situation where he will end up having to declare bankruptcy
Declare bankruptcy again*
This is different.
Trump’s companies have declared corporate bankruptcy, which gave them time to restructure.
But corporate bankruptcy won’t work this time, because Trump is personally on the hook. So he would have to declare personal bankruptcy.
And that’s a whole different process, where creditors get in line to take your belongings. Alex Jones and Rudy Giuliani are going through it, and Trump definitely does not want to.
The sooner the amphetamines give him that stroke, the better it is for the nation.
Eh, I think it’s far better for the nation for him to lose than to die before that happens.
Truth and well said.
Fingers crossed 🤞
I don’t drink, but I’ll pop champagne on that day.
I would break my 4 years of sobriety to celebrate that.
Congratulations on your sobriety
Thank you, and to be completely honest I wouldn’t throw away my sobriety on Trump. I am enjoying life sober to much to go back.
I can’t even believe I’m about to say this, but oh well: it would be the more merciful option to the whole planet, including himself. Yes, himself, because behind every bully, narcissist, sociopath, megalomaniac, is a miserable, bigot, supremacist, is a very miserable, frightened little inner child that relives the hell they have built to insulated them from the hell they experienced, and project on the world as punishment for allowing that to happen. That is irrespective of privilege, which the inner child may not have the ability to recognize. Until we, as a world collective do the hard, dirty, bitter work to address conditions that breed despair, irrespective of class, race, gender, or privilege to address that, the cycle will repeat itself. I don’t have all the answers, maybe not any. But it’s going to take healing ourselves individually, as family units, as communities, nations, and finally, global citizens. We are humans and we will have setbacks and failures. But I think it’s possible.

That’s fair … except this which doesn’t implicate orange man directly, but it sure does indirectly.

The only way to really hurt rich fucks is to fuck with their money.
This is painful to trump in ways that normies like us simply can’t understand.
So nice of him to set a legal precedent for us to get the rest of these rich assholes.
It has the potential to bankrupt the rnc once he gets lara to give him all that rnc cash
And even this won’t save him because rnc doesn’t have that kind of money.
But let’s go ahead and let them spend all they have to be safe. :D
Every little helps!
All I can picture is him on the podium telling his followers how smart declaring bankruptcy is. Then seeing a huge wave of Donnie’s dumbest fille for bankruptcies across the nation.
Hasn’t he already done that? Its not like this would be his first bankruptcy.
Bankruptcies come in 7s
He’s very experienced in declaring bankruptcy.
Yeah, he did so … with a casino.
Arguably the easiest business to turn a profit, since it prays on peoples vices.
