New York AG Letitia James has said that she will seek to seize some of Trump's assets if he's unable to pay the judgment.

Donald Trump’s lawyers asked a New York appellate court Wednesday to halt collection of the former president’s $454 million civil fraud judgment while he appeals.

Trump’s lawyers said in a court filing that he is prepared to post a $100 million appeal bond rather than a bond covering the full amount, which would have automatically paused enforcement.

They said a provision in Judge Arthur Engoron’s Feb. 16 ruling that bans Trump, his company, and co-defendants from obtaining loans from New York banks for three years would make it impossible for him to obtain a bond covering the full judgment.

No, but he would immediately appoint a Fed AG would would try to substitute the government for him in the case (Barr did that in the E. Jean Carrol #1 case), which would effectively stall it out indefinitely. Then, he just overthrows the election to make himself dictator for life and bam! No worries.

Carroll's case is federal, this one is New York State.

If you think the US Military would allow this...lol.

I was kinda hoping for the secret service dragging him away, kicking and screaming about how it's totally unfair he can't just take over the country on live TV, then some intrepid genius who was in just the right spot, at just the right time, and just so happened to have a bluetooth speaker starts playing the closing credits theme to Curb Your Enthusiasm at full volume.
