Classic trump, he thinks it’s valued at $454 million, so the true value must be 25% of that.
Aww, that's too bad.
Oh I'm sorry, stable genius thought this was a fucking negotiation
And this guy is a frontrunner for president in the USA. Lol what a fucked up country.
Trump acting like he's making another business deal rather than finally meeting up with external reality.
Tbf he's gotten away with it every single other time lol let's hope this time it sticks. There are other people invested in Trumps success.
So there should be an announcement this week of assets to be seized, right? Or Letitia goes on the pile of officials in deteliction of their duty to law.
Just think, if he had just made another tv show instead of being president he wouldnt be going through all this.
Yes, it's the court ordered ban that would prevent him from getting a loan, not the judgement of defrauding banks... 🙄
No full bond, no appeal. No appeal? Then pay up. Or get repo'ed.
Too bad, shithead. Which building do you want to lose first?
If he becomes president can he pardon himself?
Not from that
No, but he would immediately appoint a Fed AG would would try to substitute the government for him in the case (Barr did that in the E. Jean Carrol #1 case), which would effectively stall it out indefinitely. Then, he just overthrows the election to make himself dictator for life and bam! No worries.

If you think the US Military would allow this...lol.
I was kinda hoping for the secret service dragging him away, kicking and screaming about how it's totally unfair he can't just take over the country on live TV, then some intrepid genius who was in just the right spot, at just the right time, and just so happened to have a bluetooth speaker starts playing the closing credits theme to Curb Your Enthusiasm at full volume.
Carroll's case is federal, this one is New York State.
Not in a state civil case
That's exactly what the shit-weasel is trying to do.
If he can't loans from "shithole" states like New York, why doesn't he get loans from red states? Are they poor or something?
The ruling prohibits him from applying for loans from any institution “chartered or registered with the New York Department of Financial Services.” New York City is a global financial hub, so the registered clause is going to affect many banks that are headquartered outside of New York.
Probably tapped out
Whose going to loan someone money now?
If he gets a loan, it’s almost certainly a bribe.
He is probably waiting to see if his fan base actually raises all the money on gofundme.
How is that going btw? Did they ramp it up to the required $12m a day?
I dont believe so no. Honestly don't follow it because it just makes my blood boil.
I am blessed by not being an American, so no blood boiling due to that. Russian by birth however, so plenty of other reasons to freak out in the fucked modern world...
They said a provision in Judge Arthur Engoron’s Feb. 16 ruling that bans Trump, his company, and co-defendants from obtaining loans from New York banks for three years would make it impossible for him to obtain a bond covering the full judgment.
So you're not a fucking billionaire, you demented shitweasel. Got it.
Can you believe the nerve? "Judge, I know part of the reason I'm in hot water is because I lied through my fucking teeth to banks to get them to give me loans, but now that I can't get loans anymore, I'm outta money, and that's totes unfair, so can I pretty please get loans again?"
How about no, and fuck all the way off?
Yeah, if you have billions in assets, you can liquidate some of them to pay up. The only way you are unable to pay is if your assets are not actually worth enough.
Pay the bill, deadbeat.
So much for being "too rich".
"billionaire"
He's counting in Rubles
Either full $454 million or get lost.
Don't forget the daily fines for late payment.
They're actually kind of doing that in the E. Jean Carroll case. His "appeal bond" has to be 110% of the judgment award, so he has to put up 91.6 million instead of the 83.3 million she was awarded. My understanding is that the extra is to cover the interest that might accrue during the appeals process in the event that she still wins.
Sure wish if I had a 500 dollar speeding ticket I could just say "nah I'll give you 60 bucks"
That actually works if you are poor and remorseful. The judge typically has discretion.
Probably would work, if you are a white male.
It's not like that makes the whole thing go away
He will flee to Russia instantly when there is a risk of jail or too large fine to cover.

That's an acceptable outcome.
As long as he stays there.
Cool. Who's financing him?
The RNC's suckers.
Sneakerheads love him, according to.. uh.. him.
Puttie-Bear.
