A New York appeals court on Monday agreed to hold off collection of former President Donald Trump’s $454 million civil fraud judgment — if he puts up $175 million within 10 days.

If he does, it will stop the clock on collection and prevent the state from seizing his assets while he appeals.

Delay. Delay. Delay.

      Oh no, that would just open up a whole huge can of worms.

      If he goes, then it would be bad if there’s even a whiff of it being murder or assassination. As it is when he dies there’s going to be conspiracy nuts that will declare it an assassination no matter what.

          The question is how many people would be receptive to a conspiracy theory.

          There are some that will see, in person, an earthquake collapse buildings including one that kills Trump and assume the earthquake was made to assassinate him, but not too many folks would bite.

          If he gets taken out by a “lone gunman”, then a lot of people are going to assume conspiracy.

          Given his lifestyle, age, and physique, the most likely seems to be some cardiac event which will still be bad because some folks will scream “poison”.

          Best case is that the voters reject a still-living Trump, and weather the least bad of the likely unfounded conspiracy theories.
