Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That would be the absolute best outcome, because he cannot claim that he's been treated unfairly. The entire ~~justice~~legal system has bent over backwards to be accommodating. In a rational world, with reasonable people, it would matter.
They will just lower the amount again
Yep, I've always known that the rules don't apply to the rich but I had no idea that extends to people pretending to be rich too. Jesus christ I could've been pretending to be rich and doing whatever I want this whole time? Boy is there egg on my face!
That only works if you come from a rich family though.
Yup, because the first people you need to convince you’re rich, are the bankers. They lend you the money so you can buy the lawyers, suits, ties, and golf courses to convince the rest of the rubes.
That's exactly the lesson he learned yesterday. If you bitch and moan and threaten to not pay they money, it'll get reduced. Why not do it again?
it's a narcissistic behavior that I see at the core of the conservative movement time and again. demand the most, and then when you get it (or most of it) continue to insist that actually you get the least and deserve more in the name of fairness
Oh shucks, how did this bar get all the way up there?
Layaway Don
You mean the thing he has baselessly claimed for the last 10 fucking years?
lol watch him
Same
This is what many people don't understand. The 100% Democratic Governor appointed, Democratic State Senate approved Appeals Court is not helping him out.
They could have done nothing and his properties would be getting seized. They are absolutely helping him by dragging this out.
Do you think the process of seizing property is fast? They don't just change the locks. It's a whole lot of things. They would probably have to go one by one appraising, finding a buyer, and wading through the debt owed on the mortgage. It's slow and they don't want to do any of that, if possible.
Judgements this large are very rare. Trump is absolutely fucked even coming up with $175 million in cash now and the rest later.
Remember, the court has a monitor watching the trump org approving every check and money transfer right now. They probably know exactly how much money he has in the bank. They probably just asked for 80% - 90% of what he has available. They are fucking him and he thinks he won.
Which has all been delayed even longer.
The way you wrote that suggests something different than what the monitor does.
For one, they monitor after the fact. Likely one a month and after book close. So they don't monitor in detail while it is happening. Secondly, transfers above a certain amount need to be reported. That amount can be an aggregate. Those need to be reported and I think the monitor needs to ok them before they can be executed.
That's quite different from what you seemed to suggest, meaning that the monitor needs to approve every check.
It was changed recently. The monitor has to be told ahead of time now.

But only in some cases, not for everything. If a monitor would need to approve everything that would require quite a lot of people. A business often has quite a lot of regular invoices and so on.
You caught me in a minor technicality. Yes, they don't need to ask the judge if they can buy lunch.
That doesn't make a difference overall though. Trump is not going to hide meaningful amounts of money through lunch orders and paychecks.
