Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

It's pretty clear he doesn't have the cash to pay the judgement in full, and will need to sell illiquid assets at a discount in order to pay the full amount.

Art of the Deal 🤣🤣🤣

It's his standard operating procedure: offer a down payment and get the goods, then skip town and never pay the rest. Only I don't think it's going to work out for him this time...

If he actually skips town I for one would be very pleased with that outcome

Seems like a good deal. A few million dollars in exchange for Trump to fuck off to Russia, never to step foot on US soil again.

Florida Man who claimed to own billions loses court case and is too poor to pay what is ordered, begs court for mercy after complaining judgement is too harsh.

After swearing under oath that he did in fact have the money

Can the court ask him as a bail to postpone any public office bid?

When will he learn that this is not one of his crooked deals, but a "pay up or shut up" situation? I hope he'll have to sell his real estate pennies to the dollar.

What will happen if everything is sold and he is still in debts?

You've never been a rich privileged white man I see. Trump's only thoughts are "surely this can't be fair, there's gotta be something we can do to come to a better agreement" and he'll continue to be flabbergasted by any other result because he's never had to deal with real consequences in his life.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

Learn? Trump has a handful of actions that he repeats since it's work his whole life, sue, whine loudly how badly he's treated, threaten, commit large amounts of fraud like it's going out of style. Hopefully he'll finally have reprocussions in action (know we're waiting on time while he is supposed to pay) but I doubt he'll actually learn, he'll just go back to his whining.

I always thought if it was a fighting game sue would be his default attack button.
