That was after getting yelled at by the judge for wanting to run his big fat mouth in front of the jury.

Probably not, the constitution actually says the president’s compensation may not be changed during his term

Now if a president ever had other sources of income they refused to relinquish upon entering office, then maybe we’d have something

It doesn’t change his compensation, just where his direct deposit goes.

Seems likely someone needs to make a formal complaint to get a state organization to disbar someone. Her client isn’t going to complain formally (because that isn’t how he rolls, and because he wants to gently caress her) and lawyers going up against her aren’t going to complain about an opponent doing a terrible job. Maybe a judge or someone unrelated gets annoyed enough about egregiously wasted time or something.

I read that if Trump is able to get a bonding company to pay, he'd have to put up only 3% and collateral. 3% is nothing, but how does collateral work in this case? Does he simply pledge "I will give you this building if I can't pay"?

Essentially yeah. He needs to persuade them that he is an acceptably low risk for them to be potentially on the hook for $355M. Spoiler alert: He is not an acceptably low risk.

What if the government seizes and sells the same property first for a different judgement?

Presumably the lender’s claim on the property gets first dibs, so maybe the same process except the government keeps the cash left over.

See I would expect the government to get first dibs, they're the government. But the gubbmint can attach any property, whereas the private lender doesn't have a general writ just a single lien on individual property (presumably).

I hated secured transactions class

IDK, I'm just guessing. Seems like the government's overall goal is to get what money they can from the defendant, not from some rando foolish enough to lend him money.

Always fun to remember that they (and/or their contemporaries) weren't opting to play in a specific style, they were making up a new style as they went using their instruments in ways that weren't intended.

A potential juror is going to say they don't like Trump and the Trump Defense Team is going to call for a mistrial.

Meanwhile, Trump will be on the shitter posting about calling the juror candidate a mean nasty person and speculating about bad things that might happen to them.

I don't think the MAGA team is sneaky enough to get a secret Trumpist on a jury. They are going to be unable to resist acting acting like an rear end in a top hat and the prosecution is going to see them coming a mile away. More likely there are people who may have voted for Trump but aren't hard-core Red Hats and are susceptible to peer pressure without instantly going all YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! TRUMP! *click*

I got to spend a week on a murder trial a few years ago, it was interesting. Luckily the guy was very obviously guilty AF so it wasn't too hard.
