Maybe he can ask his pal at Chubb.

I bet this goes all the way to the election... If he wins he makes it vanish. Or well attempts to do so... If he loses.. he will fuck off out of the US.
Can't. it's a state civil trial. presidents can't do that.
Really, the only way he can make this go away is to shut up and pay.
And he's constitutionally incapable of either.
He can't legally, but that's not a major impediment for him
If he's president he can do a variety of things "legally" that benefit moneyed interests in the US or elsewhere.
If his son in law can get a billion dollar loan, trump can too.
If the house is Republican led, there could be no real repurcussuons except in an election.
Nope. In 30 days or whatever it is now, if he doesn’t put it up. Chubb pays for him seizes whatever collateral was put up.
It’s probably his real estate because it’s the only thing he has of significant value.
It is possible that Chubb didn’t cut him any favors and it really “just is” business. If they took say 2x in collateral, depending on the contract, they could make quite a bit of bank on that deal- or whatever they figured it was overvalued by.
Chubb put up the appeals bond for his defamation trial.
This is talking about the appeals bond for his fraud trial. Chubb (currently) has no stake in that one and Trump (currently) hasn't posted a bond for that. He has until March 25th to do so or else the state of New York is gonna be getting $400 million of new real estate.
And they won't use Trump's fraudulent valuations, either.
Ah. Even simpler then. When it expires it goes to collections and the state starts seizing assets. Either way… that’s unlikely to not be resolved before he’s the president.
Don't worry guys we all know trump is a "billionaire" he will easily post this bond without needing an insurance company to bail him out. I'm sure he's probably got 450m just laying around in boxes at maralago. We all know he's super fancy and rich and has big hands.
When the actual fuck does the government go "you have not paid, we will start taking the money"?
Cause they will happily garnish your wages and take money from your bank account.
March 25th is the deadline for this judgement. The judgement was made on Feb 16th, so that is basically 5 weeks plus a day or so to account for the weekend. Decision was made on a Friday, deadline is a Monday.
I'll believe he's suffered consequences when I see his kids stuffing him down an open grave.
If he dies before facing consequences, the world will still be a worse place, because he’ll have shown all the other sociopaths how to get away with it.

Would the world really be a worse place if sociopaths started dying so they could escape consequences?
In this case, yes. These cases have the potential to set precedents that would pave the way for future charges if someone else decides to copy him. This is what should have happened with Nixon.
He’s showing all the other assholes how to avoid getting in any meaningful trouble is bad for all of us, yes, even after the scumbag is gone. That’s why he needs to be held accountable for the insurrection and vote manipulation. So the next asshole doesn’t try it
