The bond Trump is posting with the court now is essentially a placeholder, meant to guarantee payment if the judgment is upheld. If that happens, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee will have to pay the state the whole sum, which grows with daily interest.

If Trump wins, he won’t have to pay the state anything and will get back the money he has put up now.

    No money even changed hands. The insurance company basically wrote a promissory note that they pinky promise swear to pay if the appeal fails and trump doesn’t pay.

    This fucking guy will NEVER suffer a single consequence and we’ll all suffer for it.

    There’s rules for the rich, and rules for the rest of us…

    Should have been seizing his property last week.

    ~275M short of his bill.

    Name two things that go together as flawlessly as trump + dodging debts.

    The only thing this does is prove (once again) that the justice system has different rules for rich people (or even people who play shell games with their money to grossly inflate their assets).

        Well that’s it then. Its pretty much all up to Joe from here on in. There are no court cases that can effectively keep him out of office at this point. Gonna have to win this one on the field.
