      This will be part of where the seized assets go as they are all liquidated. Basically the NYT will make a claim in court after the sentence on the civil fraud case is decided. At this point, every person Trump ever owed money to will be going after their piece.

    Yeah, he’s never going to willingly pay that bill. A court will have to order the money taken from him.

      I like the idea of him defying the order and the Times getting one of those court orders that let them seize various of his possessions until they reach the amount owed. Could you imagine the fit he would throw if they walked in and had a plumber start removing his gold toilet? I also wonder what things they might find as they seize his stuff - what if there’s another box of national secrets next to the gold toilet?

        At this point, any documents he still has have been sold to the highest bidder or destroyed. They’re far more likely to find a pile of soiled adult diapers next to his gold-plated throne.

        I think it’ll be pretty easy for them, actually. Once the sentence in the civil fraud cause is decided, they should be able to make a claim.

    If he actually has to pay this, he’ll be just redistributing his teabagger fanboi money to the NYT…

      I mean, not the NYT directly, but whichever law firm represents them. Probably a lib one though which would still get their blood boiling.

    Is there a website that tracks what he’s been mandated to pay by courts and what he’s actually paid?

      He doesn’t though. He talks a big game about how rich he is, but it’s all talk - he is leveraged up to his eyeballs, his businesses hemorrhage money, and sooner or later someone is going to start calling in those debts and the whole thing will unravel - this is what the NYC fraud case is about; he lied about his finances to get loans that he wouldn’t have been able to get if people had known how little money he actually has

        Sure, but even now people are still giving him money. He’s not exactly struggling.

          Idiots in mobile homes giving him money is not the same thing as major bank lending him money.

            I didn’t realise Trump was so poor that he was living out of a box.

              his home isn’t money. you… realize that, right? one can live in a building one owns while having zero actual cash… like… is that a concept too difficult for you to grasp, or what?

                You do realise “living out of a box” is a general term for being destitute? I’m not just talking about his homes (plural), his standard of living is still well and above everyone else.

                Sure, he’s not as wealthy as he made out, we all know this. But he lives better than most Americans.

                  I’ll take it by your spelling of the word really that you’re not from the US. I am, and that’s not an expression used much here. perhaps you should avoid using obscure metaphors when posting to website used mostly by Americans.

                  and he lived better than most because he’s in debt up to his eyeballs and living off credit. don’t you get this?

      It’s another loss, and it hurts him. Take the small win. And this isn’t the only thing he needs to worry about.
