Not paying is very on brand for Trump.

    The meat:

    “Having argued to the jury that President Trump has great financial resources, Plaintiff is in no position to contradict herself now and contend that she requires the protection of a bond during the brief period while post-trial motions are pending,” he huffs. “This fact nullifies risk to the judgment creditor and weighs heavily in favor of an unsecured stay.”

    Only problem with that is that it's not Plaintiff who is requiring a bond pending appeal. It is the United States of America.

    I thought it was the state of New York, but whatever

    The E. Jean Carroll defamation case was in federal court.

    So basically what he is saying is that he wants social security (as in GoFundMe, sponsors and such). So we should call him what he is. A socialist. I bet his clan will love that.

    You mean the judgement that he has to start paying this week? The one which I'm pretty sure he hasn't even filled a boneless appeal in.

    Not to mention he already posted the 5M+ bond to appeal the other Carroll defamation ruling. If he's too rich to have to secure his judgement, why'd he do that?

    This waste gets up and complains about the 2 tiered justice system and says he's a victim of it, yet he's trying to create a tier just for himself.

    He didn't post a $5M Bond. He put up cash. Makes you wonder if the companies that provide bonds may consider him to risky to bond.

    How do you hire a bounty hunter to drag someone into court who is protected by Secret Service agents?

    Why are we in a reality where the above question even needs to be asked?

    Largely because of this. Someone took it upon themselves to edit the law, and it wasn't noticed by anyone that cared to actually enforce the law for almost 140 years.

    If that law were enforced fully, no one would have immunity from prosecution. Period. End of sentence. Not even a Sitting President. That's why we have a VP, and a chain of Command.

    It really smells like "My cash flow is drying up and cannot fill all those obligations". Well, he's the one who was able to lose money with a casino, so that wouldn't surprise me at all.

    I'm too rich to fly to the moon, so I won't do it.

    The only thing Trump ever does is contort his reality to protect his ego, so this statement could have been anticipated

    If he wants to be a part of the gang then he needs to pay up. He needs to pay his dues.

    Donny doesn't seem to understand that the opposite of 'priceless' isn't 'too rich'.
