- Donald Trump has to cut a fat check, and his appeal of the E. Jean Carroll verdict won’t delay that.
- Within 30 days of the judge’s written judgment, Trump has to turn over either cash or a bond.
- While he appeals the verdict, Carroll can’t touch that money — but neither can Trump.
He can’t do that either.

Of course he can. He just can’t say it’s to help him get reelected. Smartest thing for him to do right now is spin up another set of “ai” nft images for his fan base to buy, to “help with the prosecution” he is suffering.
He cannot use campaign funds but PACs are not the same thing and Trump has directed much of his fundraising into PACs. The courts have shown zero willingness to address this because a PAC is a corporation and corporation are imaginary people and since the rules don’t apply to billionaires, the rules definitely don’t matter to imaginary ones.
