Less than a month after New York Attorney General Letitia James said she would be willing to seize former Republican President Donald Trumpā€™s assets if he is unable to pay the $464 million required by last monthā€™sĀ judgmentĀ in his civil fraud case, Trumpā€™s lawyers disclosed in court filings Monday that he had failed to secure a bond for the amount.

In the nearly 5,000-page filing, lawyers for TrumpĀ saidĀ it has proven a ā€œpractical impossibilityā€ for Trump to secure a bond from any financial institutions in the state, as ā€œabout 30 surety companiesā€ have refused to accept assets including real estate as collateral and have demanded cash and other liquid assets instead.

To get the institutions to agree to cover that $464 million judgment if Trump loses his appeal and fails to pay the state, he would have to pledge more than $550 million as collateralā€”ā€œa sum he simply does not have,ā€Ā reportedThe New York Times, despite his frequent boasting of his wealth and business prowess.

    (Letitia James, wearing her pearls and flipping her hair) ā€œYou best believe it.ā€

    Sheā€™s a high level public employeeā€¦

    No one would imply a white woman in her position acted like that, and despite you and the other account insisting she acts like that so itā€™s not racist, neither of you show any interest in taking the two seconds to prove it if she always acts like that like the other account said.

      Can you please just tell me what the racist part is?? Is it misrepresenting her personality that makes it racist? Iā€™m telling you I genuinely do not understand and Iā€™m trying to learn something from you but you seem hell bent on making people out to be racists instead of actually informing people about the topic.

      In that case I think youā€™re racist because you have misrepresented my personality.

      I literally told you that I would assume itā€™s a white stereotype of any. When someone says wearing pearls and flipping hair, I literally picture a wealthy white socialite in my mind.
