    Didn’t he say he was too rich to pay? Now he’s offering to pay but less than 1/4th of the original amount.

      Edited: Wrong multi million dollar judgement

      To clarify: this isn’t paying Carroll, this is putting up a 110% bond, then when appeals are done it will be used to pay out and trump gets the extra 10% back.

      He said he’s so rich that there’s no need for the bond. I think they offered to pay “a fraction” which came out to under $100

      Which the judge denied because they waited till literally the 11th hour to submit it.

      Now when they try to argue he can’t come up with the money by the deadline, this will get thrown in his face.

      I don’t think they can force him to liquidate property for this because it’s civil, but I believe if they force liquidation for the civil judgement, Carroll can go after anything remaining that has been liquidated, and hopefully take it directly instead of it going thru the black hole that is Trump’s checkbook.

      It’s probably the only way she’ll actually get paid.

      That’s the tax case.

      This is civil so I don’t think she can get a slice of that even when that happens.

      A normal person would have their earnings garnished, but trump doesn’t have any legit income to garnish

        Isn’t this one tax fraud? Are you saying there’s another tax fraud case going on against Trump at the same time?

        Her being James in this case?

        Jesus Christ, where’s that “you are here” dude from Reddit when we need him?

          Fuck me, you’re right.

          I hadn’t heard a bond was required in this one, so I thought it was one of his other lawsuits.

          It’s hard to keep track of all the money he owes

    “The exorbitant and punitive amount of the judgment, coupled with an unlawful and unconstitutional blanket prohibition on lending transactions…"

    Please excuse my ignorance but, which of the constitutional amendments guarantees US citizens access to loans?
