James GleickTrump can’t come up with the money he owes; begs the court for mercy.
Bodger@JamesGleick Is debtor's prison a thing in the US?
Nihl L'Amas@stevenixon @JamesGleick Only for poor people.
@NIH_LLAMAS @JamesGleick So Trump then ;-)
Corvid CroneTechnically abolished by Congress in the 1800s, but of course private debt collectors have found ways to circumvent that.
The Doctor@stevenixon @JamesGleick Under some circumstances, yes. This is not one of them.
@drwho Shame, it would be very amusing
Shawn in Montreal@JamesGleick Or he could come up with it, he just refuses to do it.

Barbara Monaco@JamesGleick He still thinks he can negotiate his way out of this. Art of the schlemiel.
@Barbramon1 @JamesGleick

GoodNewsGreyShoes🔞(on hiatus)@GoodNewsGreyShoes @RnDanger I love Yiddish!
Laloofah@JamesGleick Cue world’s tiniest violin.
Alan Langford 🇨🇦🧤🧊摏@JamesGleick Of course he can't. He's leveraged way up over his eyeballs. Even if he tries to sell an asset, banks are going to be collecting what they're owed before he gets the 15 cents of actual equity he has.
JonChevreau 🇨🇦@JamesGleick like he ever showed mercy to all the creditors he stiffed
Randall Patnode@JamesGleick
If he can inflate MaraLago to $1B+ and his square footage by 3x, why can't he just inflate his cash to cover the judgment?
