Trump doesn't pay his bills.
they should have just started seizing properties already.
Why haven’t they? Didn’t they give him a 10-day extension? It’s been more than that, and he doesn’t have a proper bond. What’s holding everything up now?
The privilege of being perceived as rich.
How can he be perceived as rich but can’t put the money up for the appeal? It can’t be both.
Perception is not based on reality.
In any case he technically owns millions/billions in assets, but it’s very likely that he’s lived by taking out loans on capital gains, and that every tangible asset he has is already leveraged as collateral for that.
Which means none of his properties are actually able to serve as collateral in a bond agreement (where whatever company puts up the cash and deals with the hassle of selling and maybe not getting enough to cover it. So they usually take more in collateral.)
i wish I could give 450 million up-votes to your comment
Don’t you remember? Nothing ever happens. It’s only ever going to happen
I am repeatedly pressing the upvote button. Common, take his property already! Time for the fire sale!
I hope they start during his trial on Monday!
