Trump fears he may have to ā€œsell Great Assets, perhaps at Fire Sale pricesā€

Former President Donald Trump lashed out at the judge who imposed a $450+ million penalty in his New York fraud case after his lawyers admitted he was unable to secure a bond to appeal the case.

Trumpā€™s lawyers on MondayĀ askedĀ a New York appeals court to stay the enforcement of the judgment in his fraud case, saying it has been impossible to secure a bond necessary to appeal the judgment after approaching 30 different underwriters.

The former president lashed out at the judge on Truth Social after the filing.

ā€œEngoron wants me to put up the ridiculous fine (I DID NOTHING WRONG!) before I get a chance to Appeal his crazed ruling - A first!ā€ Trump falselyĀ wrote. New York lawĀ requiresĀ a defendant to put up the full judgment amount with interest in order to appeal a civil judgment.

      Itā€™s a good question, weā€™d need to talk to someone involved with DC editorial from back then.

      But taking a primary symbol of America and portraying him in a negative light just after the Vietnam war turned really ugly sure seems to have been intentional.

      Itā€™s important to note that the CONTENT of the book never really changed, just the covers.
