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.

    It’s a Catch -22. He’s rich, therefore he must be smart. The people who vote for him think it’s their fault they haven’t got money. They love him because he acts the way they would if they were rich.

    I like to read old comics. Pretty much every Superman cover from the 1950s shows Supes doing something that looks stupid or evil. “Why Is Superman Throwing Lois Into a Volcano?” And of course there’s always a great reason, because Superman can never be a bad guy.
