The former president, who is appealing the judgment in his civil fraud case, asked an appeals court to let him avoid paying the full amount in the meantime.

It’s pretty clear he doesn’t have the cash to pay the judgement in full, and will need to sell illiquid assets at a discount in order to pay the full amount.

    I want them to seize the Trump tower and turn it into low-income housing and a job training/community college with whatever liquid assets they do squeeze out of him. Use the disgorgement to help the people of New York have better lives.

        Change it to Alice Paul and we might have something going there. (But housing, job training, and education are some of the most needed things in low-income communities.)

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Paul (Of note, Alice Paul was against abortion as were many of the suffragettes as they viewed it as a form of exploitation. However, her legacy as a leader in the women’s rights movement and in nonviolent protest are very important to world history as a whole. There is some debate about this, but it has been claimed that Ghandi kept correspondence with her and learned from her example of nonviolent protest.)
