Poor, poor Trumpy—no such luck. So far, not a soul has come to the man’s rescue. Not a-one.
*Insert the sound of sad violins a-playing*
Not even Putin cast in his lot. Maybe the despot figured he tapped the last bit of juice he could out of his useful idiot.
As per Business Insider:
Former President Donald Trump cannot afford to post an appeal bond covering the $456 million he owes New York state from last month's civil fraud judgment, his lawyers said Monday in a court filing.
The filing said Trump had just one week to secure the $1 billion in cash reserves needed to persuade a company to write a $464 million bond to cover the judgments for the former president and his three fraud-trial codefendants.
Securing such a high bond in time to meet a March 25 deadline "is a practical impossibility," despite "Defendants' ongoing diligent efforts," they wrote the massive 4,919-page filing.

The filing contained more than 3,000 pages of transcripts from the nearly 11-week civil fraud trial.
Trump is asking an appellate panel in Manhattan to postpone, or "stay," the requirement that he post a bond while he appeals.
He's planning on winning the appeal, he said, at which point he would owe the state nothing, or at least less.
Surety experts have told Business Insider that Trump would need to set aside $500 million in cash to secure the appeal bond he needs.
The unmitigated gall of this buffoon and his gaggle of bargain basement lawyers with their whole: “He's planning on winning the appeal, he said, at which point he would owe the state nothing, or at least less!”
Yeah, sure. Throw yourself at the mercy of a court and system you ridiculed. You attacked the city’s judge daily; he had to wonder if he would survive this trial with his life or his home intact; his clerk was constantly maligned, to do you a favor—all while hinting that the judgment he handed down was crooked.
There’s that winning strategy that has gotten Trump so far—down the hole, that is.
Lose everything loser
I don’t know about you guys, but I want to see the man living under an overpass, wearing nothing but suspenders and a barrel, with the entirety of his life’s belongings in a knapsack dangling from a stick.
And no, I don't think Ivanka will save him, nor should she. She will probably be glad to be rid of him; Lawd knows what that monster did to her or made her do.
I hope she spits on the ground he walks on as he enters prison for what he did to her and her brothers. Donnie messed them kids up for life.
I mean—look at them.
I think the chances of an appellate court allowing Trump to get out of his hefty penalty/bond payment are less than zero. I also seriously doubt anyone is going to put themselves on the hook for a man who claimed on Newsmax via his purse poodle, Alina Habba, that he could pay his bond a million-gazillion times over, so there!
But hey, his grift may not be over just yet! He can still go to the RNC—oh wait…
Well, his ever-loyal cult may be able to help him this go-round, am I right?
Dig deep, Maw and Paw MAGA—dig deep.
