Thats hilarious. Wake me up when he actually pays the $300 bajillion dollars.
To be fair, Letitia James is now saying she is going to try to seize his assets if he doesn't pay up.

I hope she is able to do so. It’s pretty clear that TFG will not willingly pay any amount of money.
TFG? the fucking grapefruit? I have no idea what that acronym means.
Probably Trump Financial Group.
Possibly Tiny Flaccid Gimp
The Fucking Grifter
I like this acronym.
So
Many
Possibilities.
Also: The Foreign Goon; and, the Freaking Gonzo
I read it in a thread a while back, That Fucking Guy.
...the former guy...
A judgement is a judgement.
We also live in a world where having enough money allows one to rewrite the rules as they go.
Yeah it's becoming pretty clear this nerd doesn't have any money
Yeah, he has been coasting by on class solidarity and an army of rabid idiots for a while now.
Nerd? I can't tell if you're 12 or 70. We took back that term and Dump is anything but a nerd.
Oh my god... Does that mean.... that.....
.... Something might actually HAPPEN?
Take that hope behind the fucking house and beat it to death, and then shove it way deep down inside where it can never fucking escape again
...where it belongs!
It would be nice. Who knows? It sure is worth trying and she seems to have been doing pretty well so far.
amazing
Imagine having been president and contemplating bankruptcy to nullify the case/repayment
(I'm just thinking aloud, hypothetical situation... but lol)
While some judgments can be cleared with bankruptcy... Judgements based on fraud are not one of those.
I'm not sure that will absolve him of his lawsuit debts.
Would love to see him go bankrupt, though, that golden facade crumbling.
How would it crumble? He's declared bankruptcy so many times, people can't decide if it's 4 or 6.
In spite of that, dumb asses think he's a financial genius.
Because despite declaring bankruptcy, he'd still owe the $350MM + interest.
Bankrupt morally AND financially.
Seizing his gold toilet would be appropriate, since his finances would be in the crapper at that point.
He won't. His estate will be seized and liquidated and it won't even begin to cover the fine, because the value of everything he owns is criminally overinflated.
I guess they will have to take his golden slippers.
The goal is to sell it off for profit…
Not take on extra debt…
He's about to get a huge paper wealth injection with his truth social thing about to go public. Usually you've got to prove certain arduous financial metrics to do that, but the SEC is all, "lulz, you're fine. Go ahead and offer your worthless stock!"
I'll be curious to see who the biggest "investors" are in that stock. This is set up to be one helluva laundry.
And Truth Social can be openly sold to foreign "investors."Is not like campaign money where they have to launder the money first.
It's the same reason he has NFTs and sneakers. It's all to get that Saudi and Russian money.
My brain: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pravda
I wonder if Musk will be a big investor. He buys Twotter and ruins it, while Trump opens a competitor platform. Musk buys stock in that so when it IPOs he rakes in the money, all while Twitter users move over to TS to help it sell at the stock price they want.
It's all make belief, but maybe...
You say that now, but just wait until the cult starts collecting money to pay those overinflated prices for their lord and savior...
I once typed in the wrong number in my electric bill and got my lights shut off. It was like 10 dollars. Somehow when you're rich enough you can just choose to pay things or not.
Wow. That's shit. And if it happened in US, then it is unlikely to be illegal like in the rest of the world.
