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.

    Without a stay, Mr. Trump’s lawyers warned, he likely would have to sell some of his New York properties “under exigent circumstances,” in what would be a punishing blow to the former president.

    Oh no! It’s almost as if he will have to face negative consequences for his actions.

    Anyway, did anyone see the Charlotte FC game last Saturday? That was a killer goal scored.

      Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

      And all these assets are most likely already leveraged to the hilt.

      Punishing blow… like some sort of punishment. Oh wait, that’s exactly what it’s supposed to be for fraud. Pay up or straight to jail.

      Right? My first thought was basically “oh no, it’s the consequences of your actions”, which is probably a first for the former rapist in chief.
