Media is stating that Trump is unable to pay the money.

Maybe Pelosi, Schumer or one of the other 80 year olds in DC can loan him some. They all seem to have amassed a fortune in government work.

Or fat fanny can loan it to him, she keeps a LOT of cash on hand….. her daddy taught her that! Ya know, as opposed to having your money in real investing…… DUMB

The media are so dishonest. Trump is attempting to secure an appeal bond to cover this ridiculous judgment. It’s a massive bond that will be needed and would take a fortune 500 company time to secure.

Even Elon, Zuckerberg, Gates, Buffet probably don’t have that much cash on hand without having to sell stock or liquidate assets….

They could raise 25% of the current value of their stock portfolios within 24 hours on a margin loan.

For normal investors it's 50%. But for insiders it's 25% due to the size and reporting requirements. It would also require a bank syndication which might extend the final funding to maybe one week.

But those guys you mentioned could absolutely raise $10 or $20 billion of cash almost immediately.

Trump's balance sheet is full of illiquid assets that are mostly leveraged. So it's hard for him to borrow against them.

Plus lots of his balance sheet is tied up in intangibles. Like the name "Trump" which he can use as a brand that can create future cash flow. But whose current asset value is almost nothing

There is a big difference between unable to pay and unable to pay one of the largest cash payouts for a single person in history in a short period of time.

Unless some rich person is weird, no one is keeping $500 million dollars in cash.

Even if Trump wanted to liquidate assets to pay it, it would take a long time.

it's not the money. the insurance companies won't issue the bond. it's all politics.

This part isn't political. I have multiple clients now and in the past that have had to post supersedeas bonds and bonds over $100 million are basically impossible to obtain due to internal institutional SOPs. They also don't like property as collateral especially if there are any leans on it and even free and clear property is rarely accepted.

I have no clue what the balance sheets look like for the properties he owns but I would bet he could secure an appeal bond for ~$1/2 billion but he is unwilling or extremely reluctant to go forward with what is likely to be very low agreed upon values for said properties. Appel bonds are like most any other type of value leverage in certain cases you can leverage at favorable rates and valuation and in some cases you have to resort to "buy here/pay here" rates and valuations.

Well, Team Trump has said they cannot pay nor get a bond so where is the propaganda?

Or are you just being an emotional bitch

I hope if Trump is elected, he gets revenge on all these corrupt, disgusting, traitorous pos.
