Luxe Manhattan skyscrapers, championship-caliber golf courses, and a 200-acre Westchester estate could all be up for grabs as Donald Trump strains to pay the $355 million civil fraud ruling that a New York judge slapped him with this week. A host of Trump properties in Manhattan, Westchester, and the Hudson Valley — even his iconic $348 million Trump Tower — could end up on the chopping block, sources told The Post, as a 30-day deadline to pay the fine imposed by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron looms. “I can’t imagine that he’s going to hold on to any assets in New York state after this,” a Trump insider told The Post.

I have never seen such a thing in this country. When corrupt Judges could act in this manner to bring down a former President. This is not my country any more it has been seized by the Democrat party and their flunky Judges.

I think he should sell off all the stuff he isn't attached to. He can build Golf Courses anywhere! If he really wants to keep the Tower, keep it. Then sell everything else he owns in NY City. Leave the place full of empty buildings and get the heck out of that Hell Hole! When he becomes President, lower the hammer on Judge Engoron in every way possible. Make his life a living hell! Trump never forgets! That Judge and the Attorney General, Miss Letitia, are going down! Trump will find a way!

Trump doesn't have to pay the full amount of the judgment while he appeals. He can get an appeal bond for a fraction of the judgment amount (still a lot). He can also ask the Appellate Court to stay the ruling suspending his business,which they are like to do. The judgment is still outrageous and will make it more difficult for the business to operate while the case is appealed.

Trump is appealing this ruling and I really don't think he will give in and dump anything in the foreseeable future. He may move his business dealings to Fla. or elsewhere but I do not see him giving up Trump Tower or any other of his iconic businesses until he exhausts every avenue to fight this. This little weasel of a judge has not won yet like he thinks he has or that fat*a* James either. MAGA

Appeal bond in New York is 100% plus interest, so Trump will have to put up over $450 million. There is no option to put up only a fraction of the amount as is common for criminal bail. This is straight up extortion by the court. After seeing this, why would anyone want to do business in New York?

So what does it matter what a person thinks his property is worth. A Lender will tell you what your property is worth. If I tell everyone my $300 thou property is worth $1 million, is that illegal? Will I be charged?

Lenders do not lend unless they know the recipient will pay back the loan. It is up to the LENDER to audit the collateral. If they have had extensive experience with the borrower in the past, they may just do a cursory, or NO audit. I personally know of an individual in UpState NYS who could just walk into a bank and loan with NO audits, because he was a trusted borrower with extensive properties ( Not Mr Trump ). What does this have to do with the State of New York A>G>? The idiot's persecution is less than Constitutional. It is up to the LENDER to make sure their loan is secured. ( My Opinion ).

Real estate cannot be sold at fair market prices in 30 days. NY state, being the nastiest and meanest state, alongside California, will charge individual income taxes to Trump for the number of days he has been in NY for trial, even though he is a resident of Florida. Effectively, the judge has ruled Trump guilty with no trial, suspended his right to an attorney or defense, and ruled that he must put up all the money before his appeal is complete. Unheard of. I remember Oberlin College didn't pay their judgement for over 3 years.

Not going to happen. The Trump hating crazies are going to eventually be brought up against the actual laws, not their criminal, fraudulent, fake "courts" with their crooked judges, and this "judgement" is going to get tossed. There was no fraud, there was no crime, there was just ordinary, normal, LEGAL business.

Trump will end up paying nothing. The justices on the Supreme Court recognize crooked and inept judges when they see one because they have a few sitting beside them on the bench who can't even answer basic questions on the Constitution. However, if he really wanted to get revenge on New York City he could hire a bunch of DEI initiates to manage his properties. Better yet, he could fill his tower with illegal immigrants and rent out the golf courses as camping grounds for a few hundred thousand more. It would be a fitting exit.

Although I was born into a typical Democrat New York City family, I registered as a Republican as soon as I was old enough to vote. Why? Just to be different but at heart, I was as enamored of John F. Kennedy as the nuns at my high school. My first vote was for Democrat Hubert Humphrey, and I worked for Robert F. Kennedy’s senatorial campaign. But I was never really a Republican at heart until Ronald Reagan ran for president in 1976.

Mass Deportation—It CAN Be Done 21 replies

It’s going to be difficult to get tens of millions of illegals out of the country. If there were some fear of that happening, the Democratic Party would rise up and steal as much of the American taxpayers’ money as necessary to protect this future constituency of theirs. Corporations that want cheap labor would press politicians with threats of reduced campaign money, and everybody knows politicians love other people’s money more than they love anything else. The illegals themselves would disappear under rocks, into holes in the ground, and into every cavity and crevice they could find to escape deportation.

Lara Trump is in the political spotlight after her father-in-law Donald Trump tapped her to be co-chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC). She is no stranger to politics, having served as one of the former president’s most high-profile surrogates. She was also the subject of speculation that she would launch a bid for North Carolina’s Senate seat in 2022. The move reflects the former president’s desire to have loyalists within the party, which has raised alarms among Trump’s critics.

Several key indicators of the 2024 election environment indicate that President Joe Biden faces an uphill climb to win a second term. His job approval rating, Americans’ satisfaction with how things are going in the country and their confidence in the economy are below the levels associated with successful reelection bids in recent elections. While Democrats hold a slight edge in national party identification and partisan leanings, that advantage is smaller than what it has been in past presidential elections won by Democratic incumbents. In less direct measures of the electoral environment, Americans are more inclined to say that they are worse off financially,

Biden, the lifelong scummy politician that he is, decided that since it’s election year he would shake some hands and act like he cares about the people of East Palestine. On Feb. 3, 2023, just before 9 p.m. Eastern, a Norfolk Southern train derailed near East Palestine, Ohio, a small Midwestern town of about 4,800 people near the Ohio border with Pennsylvania.

It was interesting TV and the show is not over. As you know, there is only so much of the “Elderly Man with a Poor Memory” story that we can take. I guess that many of us want to wait until Special Counsel Robert Hur speaks publicly about just how bad the elderly man's memory is. So a little Nathan-does-Fani is a bit more interesting for now even if she disputes what he did to her. According to Eddie Scarry, Fani had a plan: It wasn’t clear that Willis would be compelled to give testimony, but it’s no shock that it turned out this way when she volunteered.

For one, the reserves are estimated to be bigger than China’s current reserves, implying that this single find could end America’s reliance on Chinese exports if exploited judiciously.

President Joe Biden is considering an immigration crackdown that closes the border if more than 8,500 try to cross in one day, a law repeatedly used by former President Donald Trump. The law would, if the migrant crisis reached those numbers per day, unilaterally enact a sweeping ban at the southern border, according to three people familiar with the deliberations. The administration, stymied by lawmakers who rejected a negotiated border bill earlier this month, has been exploring options that Biden could deploy on his own without congressional approval.
