Trump fears he may have to ā€œsell Great Assets, perhaps at Fire Sale pricesā€

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.

Trumpā€™s lawyers on MondayĀ askedĀ 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.

ā€œEngoron wants me to put up the ridiculous fine (I DID NOTHING WRONG!) before I get a chance to Appeal his crazed ruling - A first!ā€ Trump falselyĀ wrote. New York lawĀ requiresĀ a defendant to put up the full judgment amount with interest in order to appeal a civil judgment.

    People donā€™t admire the fact heā€™s a liar.

    They admire him because heā€™s a racist, homophobe, and transphobe.

    They admire him because he says things they wish they could say without getting yelled at by liberals.

    They are okay if heā€™s a liar, sexist, misogynist asshole so long as heā€™s also racist, homophobic, and transphobic.

      Donā€™t forget that he also promised them all their wildest dreams if they only bow down and worship him.

      The misogyny and sexism unfortunately are also on the other side of that, for more than half the people who follow him. Since some of the women are also conditioned to see that as a good thing. And most of the men, of course.
