Trump must still cough up at least $90M in E. Jean Carroll verdict — and soon — even though an appeal means she has to wait for it
Trump can appeal his E. Jean Carroll verdict, but he still must hand over damages, plus interest, within 30 days of the judge's written judgment.
- Donald Trump has to cut a fat check, and his appeal of the E. Jean Carroll verdict won't delay that.
- Within 30 days of the judge's written judgment, Trump has to turn over either cash or a bond.
- While he appeals the verdict, Carroll can't touch that money — but neither can Trump.

He doesn't have it to hand over. That's over three times what the judge in his fraud trial said Mar-a-Lago was worth (Trump claimed it was worth $1 billion).
He doesn't have it to hand over
Yes he does. He has to either pay the judgement to her, or put it in escrow if he plans to appeal.

I don't understand this statement. Are you suggesting that the reason you think he doesn't have to pay is because it's a lot of money?
I think you misread what I wrote.
I said "He doesn’t have it to hand over" not "he doesn't have to hand it over."
He doesn't have it to hand over because he's not that rich.
Shoot, my bad, you're right. I misread that as "he doesn't have to hand it over".
No problem. I think I could have been clearer. Chalk it up to the perils of communicating over text with no vocal inflections.
I give both of you an A+ in communication. You can now kiss or not up to you two really
There is a lot of sexual tension between those two.
I'm writing the erotic fanfic now
gonna just point out the collective PTSD we are all suffering. I also initially read it incorrectly and didnt bother re-reading because... well... "its the orange asshole - of course he's avoiding consequence... again!"
this puss filled ass boil needs to see jail time.
I misread it as well. Better to just be blunt and say "Trump is broke as fuck"
Wow, yeah, my brain absolutely read "He doesn't have to hand it over" 😂
I can see how my choice of words could have been confusing.
He doesn’t have it to hand over because he’s not that rich.
I've reread it 6 times and still having trouble parsing it.
Can he hand it over?
No, because he doesn't have it.
He doesn't have it to hand over.
Yes. He doesn't not have it to not have hand it over.
Mine too. Reading too quickly for that series of words to come out correctly, I guess?
I'm not the person you replied to, but I believe the person is saying "he doesn't have it, so therefore he cannot hand over something he doesn't have."
Yep, that was my mistake.
Yes he does. He has to either pay the judgement to her, or put it in escrow if he plans to appeal
No he doesn't. I hate trump as much as anyone else, but all he has to do is get someone else to post bond (he will still have to provide a percentage to cover). There is a long list of people/companies/countries that would take that gamble assuming he gets reelected.
Time for more fundraising!
He can't do that either.

Of course he can. He just can't say it's to help him get reelected. Smartest thing for him to do right now is spin up another set of "ai" nft images for his fan base to buy, to "help with the prosecution" he is suffering.
He cannot use campaign funds but PACs are not the same thing and Trump has directed much of his fundraising into PACs. The courts have shown zero willingness to address this because a PAC is a corporation and corporation are imaginary people and since the rules don't apply to billionaires, the rules definitely don't matter to imaginary ones.
He will grift it from his donors, like he always does.
That's less than $2 per 2020 Trump voter, and he gets more popular every time a judgment goes against him.
At some point it will run out but I don't think this is the last straw.
