Delayed till after the election where he'll pardon himself/ install his own judges/ change the law/ declare martial law/ make himself exempt from any prosecution/ make voting against him illegal .
No wonder Putin loves him so much.

The US constitution is flawed. Serves them right , they were doing OK when we ran the place.

Again he's appealing till it gets to a court/judge he 'owns'.

Also on the BBc site.

A New York judge has ordered Donald Trump to pay $354m (£280m) in a landmark fraud case

The ex-president has also been banned from doing business in New York for three years

Ooops .....

There is also $100m of interest due, so he and his co-defendants owe $463m between them.

That’ll sting.

He will have to pay the money in to court even if he appeals.

He’ll have a personal stash out of the reach of US courts somewhere

If he doesn't pay up, does he get jailed?

Not immediately. The court will order liquidators to start seizing assets. In practice if he can’t realise the cash himself quickly enough he will have to engage a bond company who will pay it for him. He would still have to pay a non-recoverable fee for such a service though. From what I’m reading that would be 10%, so upwards of $40 million. And if his appeal fails he will still have to pay the rest at the end of it all.

What bond company has half a billion dollars available for a single individual? The 9% interest you mentioned earlier is speculated at being applied for 6 years btw

I wonder if everyone would be so desperate to destroy him if he wasn’t Donald Trump?

Tell someone you drank the MAGA kool-aid, without telling them you drank the MAGA-kool aid …

It seems to me that you’re still not troubling yourself to read what’s actually going on in the various courts involved here. No hyperbole, bias, politics or anything else need intrude. The facts are not Trump’s friend, and he is finally entering the FO phase of events.

Yeah but the thing is, he IS Donald Trump.
