    This allows him to keep it dragging it out in the courts for years without having to pay the full penalty.

    And he only really needs 6 months for the Russian and Saudi money to buy out his shares of Truth Social stock.

      Or it makes it so someone doesn’t have to pay a full penalty before due process for something that is basically guaranteed to loose on appeal in the long run. Apparently civil rights matter until it’s one of your enemies.

        He had his due process and his day in Court. He was found guilty. Multiple times.

        Everyone has to pay the penalty ahead of a appeal.

        He’ll get that money back if he wins his appeal, which it’s extremely unlikely that he will, but in the meantime the courts must begin collecting it so that the people of New York can be reimbursed for Trumps decades of fraud as soon as the case is closed.
