    He probably doesn’t even intend to use this money to pay anything back. He will appeal and delay forever. This is just another opportunity to syphon his supporters money

      I read somewhere that in order to appeal he has to put all of the money up and then some.

        Or just get someone to post a bond. Then it’s only 10% out of pocket. And I would bet he tried to write off these losses on his taxes since IRS has come out and said they will not be looking.

          Who would be foolish enough to issue him a bond at this point? Kiss that money goodbye 👋

              I guess I just don’t see a feasible way this could happen with the regulatory scrutiny he is under right now.

                How about the country that wants influence over him simply buys all the stupid shoes? The shoes could be shipped right to the landfill and Trump would walk away with his bond money.

                There’s still been no repercussions from even more obvious influence examples like guests getting expensive suites at the Old Post office that became the Trump hotel while he was in office, and coincidentally stopped being a Trump hotel in 2022.
