Merged So what's next for Trump?

To denote when two or more threads have been merged
To appeal, Trump has to post the full amount plus interest in an appeal bond.
Interesting … I hear he SAYS he will appeal, but can he come up with the cash? Assuming he can, SHOULD he?
It might be more propitious for him to thumb his nose at the whole thing, let them come after him and try to collect, while he tries to counter sue over every penny.
That wouldn't constitute an appeal. It would only mean that you wish to appeal. From what I've read he has no grounds to appeal because Habba screwed the pooch all along the way. And appealing on the grounds that your lawyer was incompetent is categorically not grounds in this case. In this case any appeal granted is granted on objections raised during the trial. Habba screwed the pooch repeatedly here by not objecting.

Right. I’m saying that even if he could, he prob’ly shouldn’t. It will be cheaper to just not pay. If someone tries to seize anything he can fight it in court while he grifts off the “illegal seizure”.

He could get by with posting 10% if he finds a bail bondsman to guarantee the rest. Fat chance.

Why would a bail bondsman get involved in a civil judgment?

I don't think an actual "bail bondsman" is involved. here's a link that covers all the bases with regards to how much money and when Orange has to cough up to make an appeal. He will have to jump through some serious hoops. He posted 5 mil cash for the first appeal but this is much more and likely will involve more than cash. But Orange may just do the cash thing again. But then there's the fraud trial and its costs to Orange. Anyway, good article that lays it all out.

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
 
What if he doesn’t?
What if he just crosses his fat arms and announces “it’s no fair and I’m not gonna pay!” Like he has done with all his other debts for decades?
Are they going to finally throw him in jail? Or call him to court again where he can hold another campaign rally?
I simply don’t see it. He should be in jail and he’s not. He should pay, but I see no reason to think he will.

WHAT IF HE REFUSES TO PAY?
 
Got to doubt Trump has $100 million liquid. The idea of him getting a bond seems incredibly unlikely. Who would be dumb enough to trust this guy?

Right. So -
WHAT HAPPENS IF HE REFUSES TO PAY?
I assume his bank accounts and other assets would be siezed by the court and turned over to EJC.

Seized how? Does he own anything he doesn’t owe more than it’s worth?
I think third parties are holding all the paper on stuff he supposedly “owns”.

The property can still be siezed and he would still owe the creditors his debt.

So the REAL pressure would come from ... his creditors?
And good luck to them, trying to collect from the deadbeat billionaire?

A humiliation for Orange by any standard. Not that Orange has any shame, for him it's all a game. He's been bailed out in the past but I think it was always a gov't affair, in other words we paid him. Sick, really. Putin or the Saudis will have to ante up this time. I don't think a private bank will touch him if in fact it comes to that.

Could he get the money from his family? That's where he would likely go first.

In the past he's been bailed out by the banks that loaned him the money. Those banks wanted to keep him afloat because they stood to lose too much if they cut ties with him.

He could probably get Jared’s $2b fund to write checks for all of it, including the NY mess to the tune of 300m$ or more.
 
Trump on Bullshit Social:

"I am in the process, along with my team, of interviewing various law firms to represent me in an Appeal of one of the most ridiculous and unfair Witch Hunts our Country has ever seen—The defamation Sham presided over by a Clinton appointed, highly partisan, Trump Hating Judge, Lewis Kaplan, who was, together with certain other Radical Left Democrat Judges, one of the most partisan and out of control activists that I have ever appeared before. He was a "bully" who demanded two trials, rather than one, denied me Due Process, would not allow me to put forth vital evidence (of which there was much!), and only allowed me to be on the witness stand for minutes, telling my lawyer what to ask, and telling me to only give one word answers, as his wife and friends sat in cordoned off front row seats watching with glee. This entire HOAX is a disgrace to our American System of Justice. Any lawyer who takes a TRUMP CASE is either "CRAZY," or a TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT. I will make my decision soon!

In a perfect world, Ivanka would say, "Daddy, you've always wanted to f*** me. And I've always wanted to f*** you too. So f*** you."

He's gonna have to come up with some serious cash while he's making his decision. No doubt whoever takes the plunge on his behalf is gonna ask to be paid in advance, that is if they have some semblance of a brain. I'd do it if I could just to take the money.

Trump's discussions with his "team" as I imagine it:

"This Alina Habba...she's great, isn't she? Great figure. Really great lawyer. What do you think?"

Sir, her biggest client before you was a parking garage. She has no idea what she's doing in a defamation case. Please choose someone else.

"Have you seen her? If I weren't married, I think I'd like to date her. Great tits. Great lawyer. I'm going to hire her. She's a winner."

Sir, ah...we've identified several firms who specialize in this sort of thing and are willing to work for a retainer that's perfectly reasonable.

(Trump crosses his arms and pouts)

Okay sir. We've warned you, but you're the boss.

Trump now: "Why didn't you tell me? She's the worst attorney ever! Get me someone better! I can't believe you recommended Habba!"
