• 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 doesn’t have it to hand over

    Yes he does. He has to either pay the judgement to her, or put it in escrow if he plans to appeal.

    That’s over three times what the judge in his fraud trial said Mar-a-Lago was worth (Trump claimed it was worth $1 billion).

    I don’t understand this statement. Are you suggesting that the reason you think he doesn’t have to pay is because it’s a lot of money?

      I think you misread what I wrote.

      I said “He doesn’t have it to hand over” not “he doesn’t have to hand it over.”

      He doesn’t have it to hand over because he’s not that rich.

        Shoot, my bad, you’re right. I misread that as “he doesn’t have to hand it over”.

          No problem. I think I could have been clearer. Chalk it up to the perils of communicating over text with no vocal inflections.

          gonna just point out the collective PTSD we are all suffering. I also initially read it incorrectly and didnt bother re-reading because… well… “its the orange asshole - of course he’s avoiding consequence… again!”

          this puss filled ass boil needs to see jail time.

          I can see how my choice of words could have been confusing.

            He doesn’t have it to hand over because he’s not that rich.

            I’ve reread it 6 times and still having trouble parsing it.

              Can he hand it over?

              No, because he doesn’t have it.

              He doesn’t have it to hand over.

                Yes. He doesn’t not have it to not have hand it over.

          Mine too. Reading too quickly for that series of words to come out correctly, I guess?

      I’m not the person you replied to, but I believe the person is saying “he doesn’t have it, so therefore he cannot hand over something he doesn’t have.”

      No he doesn’t. I hate trump as much as anyone else, but all he has to do is get someone else to post bond (he will still have to provide a percentage to cover). There is a long list of people/companies/countries that would take that gamble assuming he gets reelected.
