James can begin seizing his assets, which include iconic New York properties such as 40 Wall Street and Trump Tower.
Is Truth Social based in New York? She should take that toy away from him too.

The thing about truth social I'd that its worthless without Trump.
Its so weird to me that it's worth so much money when the guy could up and die tomorrow.
If Trump gets immunity on election interference, he can become president and work himself out of this mess. I still don’t understand how Clarence Thompson is still allowed on the case for this decision!? Why haven’t the other justices refused to hold the hearing till Clarence recuses himself?
Sorry, maybe a tangent but I can’t help but think of this upcoming ruling in light of all of this.
Because they're also complicit
I'll celebrate on Tuesday.
They're calling him Don Poorleone, and I love it.
In some other thread there are suggestions like... "Rapey" Don Poorleone or Don "Bone Spurs" Poorleone.
Think it's bad now, wait until they pop him with a criminal conviction.
Then, instead of "24 hours to come up with 1/2 a billion dollars" it's "24 hours until you report to prison..."
He'll leave the country
You say like that is a bad thing
It is for Brits, he'll probably come here to hide at one of his shitty golf courses
He'd go to Russia, where he'll fall out a window because his usefulness is gone and he won't have the half a billion to pay back their loans.
Idk... hed be an infinitelt usedul propaganda pawn.
"Look here, we have the former US president whos been treated soo unfairly by the American dictatorship."
And youd still have Dr. Facismo tweeting all his latest brain farts for the 20% of the country that will double down on his glorious eminence no matter what.
We got a little taste of that already with his mugshot.
Oh I’ve been waiting. It’s been a long-as-hell five minutes.
“I currently have almost five hundred million dollars in cash… The often overturned political hack judge on the rigged and corrupt A.G. case, where I have done nothing wrong, knew this, wanted to take it away from me, and that’s where and why he came up with the shocking number which, coupled with his crazy interest demand, is approximately $454,000,000,” Trump wrote in all caps on Truth Social Friday morning.
I can't live off of the millions of dollars that would be leftover.
People who live paycheck to paycheck buy this crap. I mean, what's he supposed to do with his "millions" in the interim? Just starve to death?
It's all bullshit anyway as nobody with $500M would just leave it sitting around liquid/as cash. That'd generate around $40M a year in interest by just investing it in basic shit and getting an average return.
Well I wouldn't say "nobody" it matters how many billions you got...
For example Bezos keeps 5% of his wealth (currently 9.5B) in cash. I assume that's cash and equivalents... but who knows.
Most likely bonds (as you said, cash equivalents). When you get to a certain level of wealth, instead of paying taxes, you lend that same money to the government and receive interest on it.
And/or because it's hidden away in some tax haven under somone else's name.
I wouldn't trust a word of it myself.
I think I would too. He could live the entire rest of his life on 9B making zero interest and losing value to inflation.
Right now $9.5 billion in Treasury Bills can make you $484 million per year. Enough to buy a yacht or pay a massive civil penalty, depending on who you are.
That's the best thing about Trump not being able to scrape together $460 million. Any real billionaire would just get a loan and pay it off with the income from their investments over time. Never sell good assets unless it's for more money.
Trump has no good assets that he hasn't already mortgaged. So no bank will lend to him. He's probably fucked. We'll see on Monday.
I absolutely love watching him squirm and rage. It makes up for all the delays and bullshit during the trial.
I love how every time his lawyers say something, he gets in front of a crowd and says the opposite.
What's with this constant attitude that Biden, in much better shape and not significantly older than Trump, is on the verge of death?
Right wing propaganda designed to look like far left socialist rhetoric.
Fascists view the enemy as simultaneously weak, decrepit and pathetic.. while also being sharp minded machiavellian mastermind strong men.
and which it is depends entirely on the moment and argument at hand.
Propaganda.
It's all gaslighting and foreign interference to get Trump re-elected
No, most people are not happy about voting for an old Republican of a Democrat.
No, insulting Biden does NOT mean I like Trump in any way nor want him to win.
People can be and are unhappy about both choices.
better a progressive republican that an extremist republican, and those are your choices. reality sucks; deal with it or be prepared for the consequences
You cannot "deal with" something you accept as status quo, dingdong.
Then the question becomes, what's with the people who are not like you, who focus on Bidens age without attributing the same vulnerabilities to Trump?
Fully aware you're not expected to have the answer to that, you're not responsible for them folks.
Because trumps age is so far down on the list of problems it barely registers
Not to mention, his age is statistically unlikely to be related to his mortality, considering his disgustingly unhealthy lifestyle and diet. It's a wonder that shitbag hasn't already sprung an irreparable leak. 🤮☠️👀
Have you seen his diaperbutt? Pretty sure he’s already incontinent and just hiding it.
Yes, that's a part of what I was talking about.
