    Who is downvoting this. When you get up over a million or so in debt, it’s really the banks problem because of the chances of actually recovering that money.

      This is not bank debt. It’s the sum of his civil fraud trial and EJ Carroll trials. Trump owes nearly 500M is penalties. So i would say this is his problem.

        People are having a really hard time understanding that, yes, he is facing consequences at long last. The next step is seeing if the RNC will foot the bill.

        No, this is just the fraud ruling and the associated interest. The E. Jean Carroll trials aren’t included in the amount on the page.

        It’s a saying but it applies here as well. When you are dealing with the likes of trump, any money he owes is actually the problem of the one holding the note and not the debtor.

        For Carroll he needs to bond that award with the court or else he can’t appeal the ruling. If he doesn’t have it to bond, he doesn’t have it to pay her or anyone else he owes. That to me is the epitome of not really his problem anymore.

        Do I think we should just let him off the hook? Fuck no, he needs to be made to sell whatever properties he needs to even at firesale to pay his debts and then be made to work mcds until he pays off the rest or dies from having to actually do real work.
