The DEMONIC DEMOCRATS KNOW WE WILL NEVER DO TO THEM WHAT THEY TO TO US!!!
Oh, I'm pretty sure that's Plan A for all those who are after Trump.
In order to avoid these issues, the U.S. Supreme Court must intervene soon. There is zero need for more than a nominal bond in this case. Most of Trump’s wealth is in the United States.
This is fearmongering. If Trump doesn’t post a bond and doesn’t get a stay of enforcement, then the State attaches bank accounts, and goes ahead with auctions of some of his interests in real estate. If the judgment is then reversed on appeal, he gets his money back. He suffers a forced sale of properties he would’ve preferred to keep, but in their place he gets the fair market value as reflected in the winning bid. That’s a loss to him but not a catastrophe, i.e., not confiscation. (Averting problems like this is why people bond appeals when they can.)
New York State is not going to refuse to pay him and provoke some kind of constitutional crisis. If the ultimate resolution is in Trump’s favor, the State will just cut him a check – regardless of whether he’s President or a private citizen.
Also going to affect the real estate market in New York. The risk factor went WAY up.
I think to the layman, this verdict appears to be a slam dunk instance of outrageously expensive fines. So, has anyone questioned Trump if, or when, he is actually going to begin that protest process in the federal court system, verses continuing to suffer worse and worse consequences in NY state court? As far as I can tell, he can file that federal 8th amendment protest at any time, but hasn’t yet, for some reason. I know the pat answer is ‘just trust the plan’ but this needs an explanation IMO. Thanks.
Like everything else in this country, it all depends on who controls the Box.
If justice is seen as fully twisted and one sided, people will seek other avenues as naturally as water seeks gravity and cracks.
