It’s pretty clear he doesn’t have the cash to pay the judgement in full, and will need to sell illiquid assets at a discount in order to pay the full amount.

    LOL I love the idea that you can negotiate here. It’s pretty clear that they really don’t understand the ramifications of what has happened.

    When Trump was first elected, it was clear that they never actually planned to win and govern. They had no plan, no staff in place, nothing. They literally didn’t understand that you needed to do that.

    If Trump had just stayed a celebrity real estate agent, nobody would have paid much attention to his business dealings. It’s clear that they didn’t understand that life would change after becoming a political figure. The same keeps happening–they can’t seem to get that he’s not a private business person whose dealings are opaque.

      If Donnie had just stepped back and let Fauci and the professionals take over, he’d have won 2020.

      Heck, he could ahve extorted billions out of the Saudis just by suggesting he might change US policy.

      All his failures are about his pride.

        Literally all he had to do was start selling red MAGA masks. Instead he encouraged millions of his supporters to avoid quarantine, dont wear masks, and take homey cures and it cost him the election. Wonder how many of the hundred thousand plus COVID deaths in Georgia were Trump supporters?

        If he had the capability to put competent people in positions and then let them do their job, then he may have been a successful President instead of a raging nuclear tire fire.

      That’s what kills me. This guy could have lived out the rest of his days banging pornstars and defrauding investors and no one would have raised an eyebrow until the posthumous Netflix documentary, but no, he had to go and accept the most public job in the country.

      He chose this.
