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.
