Trump fears he may have to “sell Great Assets, perhaps at Fire Sale prices”

Former President Donald Trump lashed out at the judge who imposed a $450+ million penalty in his New York fraud case after his lawyers admitted he was unable to secure a bond to appeal the case.

Trump’s lawyers on Monday asked a New York appeals court to stay the enforcement of the judgment in his fraud case, saying it has been impossible to secure a bond necessary to appeal the judgment after approaching 30 different underwriters.

The former president lashed out at the judge on Truth Social after the filing.

“Engoron wants me to put up the ridiculous fine (I DID NOTHING WRONG!) before I get a chance to Appeal his crazed ruling - A first!” Trump falsely wrote. New York law requires a defendant to put up the full judgment amount with interest in order to appeal a civil judgment.

    “I may be forced to face minor consequences for my actions.”

    Fixed that headline.

      Dunno man, these seem like pretty major consequences to me.

        For anybody else this would be a bloodbath.

        He deserves worse, though.

        Agreed. Finally some consequences proportional to one of the crimes he has committed.
