U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan declined a request to grant a stay after a jury ordered Donald Trump to pay writer E. Jean Carroll over $83 million for defamation.

"Twenty-five days after the jury verdict in this case, and only shortly before the expiration of Rule 62's automatic stay of enforcement of the judgment," Kaplan noted. "Mr. Trump has moved for an 'administrative stay' of enforcement pending the filing and disposition of any post-trial motions he may file. He seeks that relief without posting any security."

"The Court declines to grant any stay, much less an unsecured stay, without first having afforded plaintiff a meaningful opportunity to be heard," the judge wrote in his one-page order.

"A banana republic is a politically unstable country whose economy depends on the export of one product in limited supply, such as agricultural products like bananas or minerals"

The literal first sentence from wikipedia. It's a specific kind of exploited state. Using it as a catch-all for unpopular or unstable governments dilutes the terminology. Which is what's happening, as shown by the rest of the wiki page. It's not, like, an official classification and you're not the only one to denigrate the US with that label but it seems dishonest and reductive. Our problems are largely internal and would exist with no foreign influence or global economy.
