The media is sensationalising it for social media by closely cropping the images. Nazi shit has been going on in America for decades. It's not banned because of our First Amendment in the Constitution, and it's fairly persistent. This is from a rally in 1966. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A blandly competent middle of the road US Democrat, who took back a seat that had gone to Republicans in the previous US congressional election. His election is seen as a somewhat calming development. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fines might exceed his available cash, but then that just means he'll either have to sell some property or liquidate some investments. That might cause him some extra losses if he has to do it in a hurry but ultimately he'll still be worth around $2bn, so he certainly won't have to sell most of his assets to raise the money, just some of them. And honestly I'm not sure there's that many things you can afford to do when you're worth $2.5bn that are suddenly out of reach when you're only worth $2bn. Unfortunately, I think he's going to be getting quite a substantial amount of money from Truth Social soon too. The SEC have given them permission to do something or other - a merger that would let them list the company, or something. Expected to net him a few hundred million I believe. He won’t even do that. He’ll essentially borrow the money with his assets as collateral to put up the appeal bond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borrow from where? Part of the judgement against him prevents him from taking loans from any bank registered in New York (which is pretty much all of them). His crime was to lie about the value of his assets to fraudulently get loans, the idea of the judgement is to prevent him doing it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that Elon Musk flew into near by Trump in Florida. Rumours circulating that he’s meeting Trump. 2+2=5 and all that but strange timing given this judgement, Trump restricted on lenders and Musk more and more right wing.

Although I don’t know whether he’s not cash rich as a percentage of his overall wealth, which still would be a considerable amount of cash or whether he just doesn’t hold much cash. Musk may have contacts that do have access to cash/loans and he could facilitate that with Trump. Maybe even Musk loan from Russian contacts and then Trump loan from Musk. Trump can then claim no connection with Russia. I don’t know, just guessing, just the monies being talked about, there are very few places to go to especially as the NY banks are not allowed. Although the bond fee is much lower. Just fun to speculate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Would be my guess. Trump, Kushner and MBS are already pretty tight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
