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.

      Yeah, but the comment you replied to said he was an asshole pre-68.

      Edit: Oh okay, they said from 1950 on, you said the change was 1968 - he was an asshole after then. You were just saying it happened later, I thought it was maybe the other way around or something.

        It’s a good question, we’d need to talk to someone involved with DC editorial from back then.

        But taking a primary symbol of America and portraying him in a negative light just after the Vietnam war turned really ugly sure seems to have been intentional.

        It’s important to note that the CONTENT of the book never really changed, just the covers.
