“As Donald Trump faces a Monday deadline to post a $454 million bond in the civil fraud case against him in New York, insiders said he may be weighing a little-discussed option: Do nothing. The ex-president reportedly has been struggling to raise the cash for the bond — either from banks or wealthy friends — with his lawyers claiming on Monday that it was a ‘practical impossibility.’ While some reports have raised speculation that Trump may ‘go nuclear’ with a Chapter 11 filing to protect his prize real estate assets across Manhattan, experts said bankruptcy would create unwelcome complications as the 2024 election season comes to a head,” the New York Post reports and we copied that verbatim to underscore the “trial balloon”-ing and “normalization” of this laundered Trump press release to a readership that is extremely pro-MAGA, even among Murdoch outlets.
If there’s any other conclusion we should draw from that we’re all ears. “Even if there is a taking, it doesn’t mean he can’t take it back later,” a source, quite possibly the fat bastard himself, told the Post without contemplating that the AG’s office would sell the Tower and Trump would have to “take it back” from whoever ends up buying it from the state of New York. Meaning he’ll have to pay for it.
