Watched a bit of ABC evening news to see how things were reported. Both were reported, with the judgment leading and taking the most time. Pres Biden's comments on both Putin and House GOP (vacation and Ukraine) were aired.

If Pootie was hoping to 'slip below the fold', he failed, I think.

However, Putin could probably strong arm one of his buddy Russian billionaires, to save tRUMP, but the question is, why should the Kremlin do this, save tRUMP? He's a train wreck.

The stock went from the teens to almost $60 in the past sixty days of which he was likely the biggest seller.

That’s a lot of liquidity.

He has access to plenty of money.

Of course, now that the intel is over three years old, it might not be so valuable.

I love that he needs a bond to appeal this case and the E. Jean Carroll case. Is anyone stupid enough to lend him money now? Perhaps Jared will since he has $2 billion from MBS.

Melania needs to start those divorce proceedings or her prenup might be worthless.

He is in a fire sale situation. Everything must go and must go now. He will be offered insultingly low bids which he will reject and later regret.

Then within the next three months he will be sending MAGA birthday greetings through Cameo and stripping on Only Fans.

Fri Feb 16, 2024, 05:48 PM
Feb 2024

As I posted in another response, Andrew Weissman said much the same a few minutes ago on MSNBC. He said that this and the Carroll judgments would pretty much wipe out his liquidity and might require selling assets. So, he may have enough to cover, but very little cushion if the Forbes numbers are accurate.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2024/02/16/can-trump-pay-his-legal-fines-what-to-know-as-ex-president-now-owes-more-than-440-million-after-fraud-trial-verdict/?sh=35d7305e11e1

The bigger problem is that this is going to make it incredibly difficult to acquire any other funding.

I find little reason to doubt that it's in the ballpark. In addition, many of his NY assets have no debt.

It's actually better for everyone except Trump if it's true. E. Jean Carroll, certainly.

We'll get to see how underwater his properties are. He was borrowing on inflated market values. One of the points of the case. Kind of ironic at this point.

It's inconceivable that Trump wasn't leveraging the presidency for financial gain every single day he was in the White House.

This is a just decision, but it's not the stake through the heart that a criminal conviction with jail time would be.
