Companies have paid big judgements!! He's not special!! Pay for your fraud!! What goes around comes around crook!!

[pomp]

Is it a good idea to spend 6 months insulting a judge, then ask for mercy 🤔🙄

[jodyhutchinson]

Why doesn't he ask Jared? He got 2 billion from the Saudis.

[frankstrelich]

If these judges are worried about our democracy they will stop treating him with kit gloves and stop bending the rules

[johnpaulwebb]

How many people are setting in jail tonight because they can't afford the bail? How many people have their property seized before ever going to trial? What makes Trump's problems any different than anyone else? He could start by pawning his private jet.

[Firestorm-ns]

Trump doesn't deserve a deal on Monday. He threatened the District Attorney, Judge, court staff & their families.

[LDRINCAL]

No- he does not get off the hook. Anyone else has to pay up with no compromise. What happens to regular people if they don’t “have the cash”?

[schlechtwetterradler]

Is this the same person that wants to let Russia do whatever they want with NATO members, that won‘t pay their bills? 🤔😂

[airdad]

Trump said that Mar a Lago is worth $1.5 billion so it should be easy to come up with $500 million.

[StarChasersHere]

New York- tRUMP- "I just want to find $465 million, which is more than I have

[deborahlukovich]

I just want justice. Here’s a guy that caused small business to go under because he didn’t pay them. Let him go under.

[HT-fvfj]

Trump's 5 bankruptcies + insulting judges + suing others -> didn't bother Trump. But this one hit him where it hurts. Good job, AG Letitia. No billionaire wants to deal with a damaged product, Trump. Too risky.

[niclewis]

Didn't Trump just finish lecturing NATO? The guys a walking contradiction. Pay your debts, you delinquent.

[ulyssesgrant]

I'm glad nobody is loaning Trump any money. If they did, they'd have to sue him to get it back.

[niclewis]

It's socialism and handouts for the BINO but capatilism for the Banks. They've got a long memory of his going bankrupt multiple times and not paying his Debts.

[RivenGreivances]

All this because he lied about something that could be disproven with a tape measure.

[theskyehiker]

Susanne Craig is brilliant. I love listening to her.

[ChrisWestin]

We've never seen such criminality before.

[davidzachmeyer]

Another possibility: Don Jon actually does have enough cash to cover the bond, but he's trying to beg, whine, and cheat his way out of paying it.

[jamesblahut]

There's a real downside to acting like a jerk when one is on trial.
