Donny doesn't seem to understand that the opposite of 'priceless' isn't 'too rich'.
It really smells like "My cash flow is drying up and cannot fill all those obligations". Well, he's the one who was able to lose money with a casino, so that wouldn't surprise me at all.
One of the few billionaires where I don't actually believe "cmon baby I'm good for it"
According to several estimates, the guy is nowhere close to being a billionaire
You mean the judgement that he has to start paying this week? The one which I'm pretty sure he hasn't even filled a boneless appeal in.
Not to mention he already posted the 5M+ bond to appeal the other Carroll defamation ruling. If he's too rich to have to secure his judgement, why'd he do that?
This waste gets up and complains about the 2 tiered justice system and says he's a victim of it, yet he's trying to create a tier just for himself.
He didn't post a $5M Bond. He put up cash. Makes you wonder if the companies that provide bonds may consider him to risky to bond.
How do you hire a bounty hunter to drag someone into court who is protected by Secret Service agents?
Why are we in a reality where the above question even needs to be asked?

Largely because of this. Someone took it upon themselves to edit the law, and it wasn't noticed by anyone that cared to actually enforce the law for almost 140 years.
If that law were enforced fully, no one would have immunity from prosecution. Period. End of sentence. Not even a Sitting President. That's why we have a VP, and a chain of Command.
Guaranteed they do
I'm too rich to fly to the moon, so I won't do it.
I'm too rich to cure cancer, so i wont do it.
