Cause he's not broke. His liquidity is taking a massive hit from these bonds for sure, but there have been no attempts to sell any major holdings he has. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of "friends" that are loaning him cash or providing services without charging to make an ally of someone who clearly still has political power in the country, and there are definitely a ton of "kick the can" moves he is making, but when you are worth a lot of money you will continue to make money by doing nothing.

it's been demonstrably proven that basically his scheme/scam has always been to leverage everything he can to acquire a piece of property that he then inflates and use as a justification for other, future projects. Sometimes a project files for bankruptcy but the idea is that there's another project that can cover for it to justify other, future projects. the plane was probably a part of this: he has a golden jet how could you claim he doesn't have as much money as he says he does?

liquidity has never been a thing for him because liquidity requires actually having money and not just your name on a bunch of load-bearing facades

i'm only gonna get mad if they somehow get another court to stay the appellate court's reduced bond. and by mad i mean laugh because this poo poo is funny. it's just 'ol donny begging for his bond to be lowered while simultaneously trying to say he's (still) a billionaire.

Where the gently caress does this guy keep coming up with money to drag these legal proceedings out forever?

Like he's broke, the GOP is broke

Where does he have this unending slush fund?

Is it just lawyer chuds working for free?

one of the two main trump PACs has been converted into his legal fund, it's spending 3-6 million per month on lawyers.

the "cash-equivalent" is what he's trying to weasel. the 'or whatever' can mean a lot of things, but I can imagine the truth social company being used to entice foreign investors who want to buy trump (who is categorically for sale, even his lawyer said it on tv) without just giving him money directly, and then he uses that stock to secure a loan from some bank (probably DB lol) like how elon musk bought tesla

He does not. He has to post it to stay enforcement. He has a right to appeal, but if he wants an extant in power court judgment stayed that is what he has to put up for.

Absolutely true, but the buck will always stop somewhere. He is not regularly writing IOUs for airplane fuel, paychecks for staff, and the many other things that just don't work that way, so he definitely has some real liquidity somewhere. Not $500m like he claims, but definitely many millions available. There is likely millions going in and out everyday with "company" of that size whether its based on his grifting or not.
