How could the system of pseudo-justice have been set up with a requirement that the person has to pay a portion of the money at the same moment they can’t afford to pay?
From NY Daily News:
“Every morning Donald Trump wakes up, he now owes another $87,500 in interest on the massive legal penalties he received last week.”
“The pain is set to continue until he pays off the entirety of the nearly half a billion dollars in fines and interest in his Manhattan civil fraud case.”
According to the Independent:
“The former president has 30 days from the ruling to come up with the cash or secure a bond to appeal the $364m verdict against him, a figure that is growing to nearly half a billion dollars with daily interest.
An appeal would effectively require a deposit in the form of a bond to front the costs for him. Asking for a third-party guarantee could cost him a percentage of the judgment, plus interest and fees, that he can’t recover.”
With his balance sheet a bond will be easy.
What will be interesting in the short term is the destruction of businesses and hyper-inflation when the truckers stop moving products in to NYC.
Just like Covid the left has little grasp of business mathematics because they could not run a child’s lemonade stand.
Trump is going to go old school once he gets in office. I heard Manchin (speaking?) spewing spittle about people getting along and being nice today. Screw that prick.
There’s a gofundme account to raise funds for Trump, and people are giving generously, but the amount of debt is astronomical and the donations are but a drop in the ocean.
