Trump fears he may have to “sell Great Assets, perhaps at Fire Sale prices”

Former President Donald Trump lashed out at the judge who imposed a $450+ million penalty in his New York fraud case after his lawyers admitted he was unable to secure a bond to appeal the case.

Trump’s lawyers on Monday asked a New York appeals court to stay the enforcement of the judgment in his fraud case, saying it has been impossible to secure a bond necessary to appeal the judgment after approaching 30 different underwriters.

The former president lashed out at the judge on Truth Social after the filing.

“Engoron wants me to put up the ridiculous fine (I DID NOTHING WRONG!) before I get a chance to Appeal his crazed ruling - A first!” Trump falsely wrote. New York law requires a defendant to put up the full judgment amount with interest in order to appeal a civil judgment.

    People don’t admire the fact he’s a liar.

    They admire him because he’s a racist, homophobe, and transphobe.

    They admire him because he says things they wish they could say without getting yelled at by liberals.

    They are okay if he’s a liar, sexist, misogynist asshole so long as he’s also racist, homophobic, and transphobic.

      The misogyny and sexism unfortunately are also on the other side of that, for more than half the people who follow him. Since some of the women are also conditioned to see that as a good thing. And most of the men, of course.

      Don’t forget that he also promised them all their wildest dreams if they only bow down and worship him.
