Forgot the #WompWomp !

🤭👉🏼 “#Trump offered NY appeals court a bond of only $100 mil to pause the more than $450 million penalty he faces in his civil fraud case, a clear sign that the former president lacks the $ to cover the full amount.

..also asked to pause enforcement of finan penalty & wide range of other punishments the judge levied.” #legal

@GottaLaff I'm kind of impressed that he got someone to put up the hundred. I wonder how much stuff he had to put on the line to make a creditor take the risk.

@NIH_LLAMAS @GottaLaff

I'm fully dubious that he does have a $100 mil bond available to him. These posers would readily haggle the court down and then ask for an extension due to unforeseeable issues with the bond. I'm hoping the judge remembers he wasn't born yesterday.

@artemesia @GottaLaff The filing is unclear on whether he even has a locked offer.
