Trump can’t pay

[Anonymous]

The fine was not reduced, just the bond.

Come on people, get a grip.

Why is everyone in the tank for Trump?

Slowly but surely you will have to admit to yourself this is all theater. A multi-year theater. It's all pointless.

He's appealing & delaying. His usual pattern. The fine will be reduced. That's how it always works for him.

Seems like the circus aspects of this case could have been avoided if a reasonable DA and judge were not trying to make political statements.

Or, you know, if it had been someone other than Trump. But then someone other than Trump would not have committed the massive fraud that he did, so there's that.

'Shark Tank' host Kevin O'Leary says Trump losing his assets would deal 'collateral damage to the American brand'

"Shark Tank" host and investor Kevin O'Leary blasted New York Attorney General Letitia James on Friday over her office possibly seizing former President Donald Trump's assets in his civil fraud case.

"The collateral damage to the American brand is horrific," O'Leary told Ingraham.

According to him, the threat of Trump losing his New York properties will pose troubles for O'Leary as he travels the globe next week to raise money for a $3 billion data center.

"The No. 1 question I have when I go to these countries to try and raise this capital is: 'What the hell is going on in New York'?'" O'Leary said. "And I tell them: ''It's not America. It is just an anomaly. I swear to you, everybody, this is not America.'"

"Property rights are mentioned 37 times in the Constitution. Due process, very important. Why steal someone's assets in 27 days?" O'Leary said. "Why not give them more time to come up with the cash? Forget about Donald Trump. Who would want this to happen to them?"

It’s election interference and everyone knows it. Democrats are trying anything they can to hurt Trump because Biden is a terrible candidate.

Property rights are fundamental to this country. Even more fundamental is the rule of law.

So? He said he had cash for the larger amount but his lawyers said he couldn’t meet it.

You don’t have the right to keep illicit profits that stem from fraud as determined by a court of law.

There was no fraud. The banks were repaid and testified that they would do business again. The law used to get Trump is intended to be used against lenders defrauding borrowers.

Not in that time frame. Not everyone has cash sitting around like that.

So. Given his fraudulent activities, what would you have calculated the damages to be?

This isn’t a number that engoron pulled out of thin air. What’s your calculation?

Take a look at Engoron's calculation. He threw in profits made on other projects including the Post Office building, with the argument that the 'fraud' gave this billionaire extra cash to pursue these other projects.

The decision also stayed Engoron's ruling barring Trump from serving as an officer or director of a NY company for three years and barred Trump and his corporate defendants from applying for loans from New York lenders over the same period.

I loathe Trump and want to see him in jail, but I think that's perfectly fair. Remember, it's only the bond for the appeal that's been reduced, not the actual disgorgement he has to pay. He's probably going to lose his appeal and meanwhile, the enormous interest will keep climbing! Which means he will owe, when all is said and done, a STAGGERING SUM he will not be able to pay.

The game is always to delay, since he hopes to become President and freeze all these trials. But there is an extremely low probability that he will be elected, because his political extremism and cognitive decline on display aren't making him any friends outside of the MAGA base, which is insufficient to hoist him to power.

The actual sum he owes will be close to a billion by the time the appeal is done.

I really think he's going to get the $$ owed reduced. He's a master of the art of the deal.

No, he’s a master of finding loopholes and exploiting them.

It's all a charade, on all sides. Pointless theater for the plebs watching.

If you think he's ever going to pay the full amount I have a bridge to sell you. This will become old news and fade from coverage. He might even get all of most of his bond back in the end, especially if he loses in November.
