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.

    So you’re not a fucking billionaire, you demented shitweasel. Got it.

    Can you believe the nerve? “Judge, I know part of the reason I’m in hot water is because I lied through my fucking teeth to banks to get them to give me loans, but now that I can’t get loans anymore, I’m outta money, and that’s totes unfair, so can I pretty please get loans again?”

    How about no, and fuck all the way off?
