The former president, who is appealing the judgment in his civil fraud case, asked an appeals court to let him avoid paying the full amount in the meantime.

It’s pretty clear he doesn’t have the cash to pay the judgement in full, and will need to sell illiquid assets at a discount in order to pay the full amount.

    I would think Trump, like any organized crime boss, understands the difference between “here’s what I owe you” and “here’s a quarter of what I owe you.”

    One results in broken legs, one doesn’t.

      Let’s hope the justice system does too.

        Alas, it favours rich, white, straight men. He’ll never get the full punishment he deserves. If he did, he’d already be in jail for a long time. I bet you his little tushy would have been massacred if he actually got convicted for all the horrible crimes he committed.

          Yeah, I’d love to see him get to face his charges, but I have no hope at all that he will.

          My sleepy brain also misread “his tushy” as “your tushy” and stared dumbfounded at this comment for half a minute.
