    One of the most ridiculous false pretenses Trump tries to maintain is that he can only pay with a single, $454M bond, and since he can’t get one that large, he should, obviously, just be forgiven the amount entirely and let off the hook.

    What he doesn’t want anyone to know is that, obviously, he could just get several smaller bonds for, say, $50M or $75M or $100M until it added up to the $454M or however much he needs to post for the appeal. In fact, he even tried to offer a $100 bond before, but used it instead in the E Jean Carrol appeal.

      Like literally chubb dogded a bullet lending this money earlier rather than having to be available for the next big payout. If you ask me is a small price to pay for salvation

        They still loaned him a fuck ton of money that they sure won’t ever see again. So I don’t know how they dodged a bullet.

          Chubb did a fully collateralized bond. Meaning they got something of actual value, not just trump’s word. In this case a Schawb brokerage account full of stocks and bonds for (I believe) more than the value of the bond. Plus Chubb probably added a fee on top of the value of the bond to service the transaction. When trump loses the E Jean Carroll appeal, Chubb will hand over cash and sell off the assets in the Schawb account and pocket their service fee.

      Wait. Hasn’t he a gofoundme going? If he is bragging about having the money already, what does he need the donations for. 🤔

      But what do i know… I’m just a dumb European and the conservative Americans are so much smarter then me. They’ll def are correct in further donating for Don Poorleon. 👍

    No, Eric, they want to avoid losing $454,000,000.00.

    Edit: almost have him an excuse to save money.

    This is their big play? It doesn’t need to be one bond. I read that those companies have a $100 million limit on bonds. Trump needs to put up several bonds. Or just use his yuge pile of cash he says he has. Or hell, double down on the lies and lose his holdings.

      He probably legitimately doesn’t know that, and the phone calls probably only get to:

      Who is this?

      Iiiiiiiit’s Errrrrric!

      Pretty sure James also already made it known he can post some of his properties directly to the court as collateral, skipping a 3rd party bond agency, but sounds like he wouldn’t be able to do that if he has liens against them all, which he probably does.

    don’t worry, a judge just ruled that Don is a special boy and doesn’t have to follow the same laws as everyone else so he doesn’t need to put up the whole bond.

        He’s God’s Most Special Guy, so he gets yet another exception to the law. Courts have ruled that he has to put up less than half of what would be required of anyone else.
