A New York appeals court on Monday agreed to hold off collection of former President Donald Trump’s $454 million civil fraud judgment — if he puts up $175 million within 10 days.

If he does, it will stop the clock on collection and prevent the state from seizing his assets while he appeals.

Delay. Delay. Delay.

    What evidence?

    The fact that is was cut 60% just because Donald said he wasn’t going to pay

    They are tolerating him so that he has no avenues for appeal

    This is literally the opposite… they are bending over backwards to give him a better chance to appeal

    Stop being a doomer and take the win.

    Where is the win?

      The judgement was not reduced. The amount of the bond he has to post ahead of time is reduced, and it’s still $175 million!

      Better chance to appeal? He can appeal whether or not he posts the bond. Read about the case more.

        I never said it was the judgement, I knew it was the bond but the point remains… Why does he get a break?

        Also, he needs to post the bond to appeal, that’s the whole issue here… They are giving him a 60% discount to make it easier for him to appeal… Maybe take your own advice and read about the case more

        How about this. The fact the appeals court didn’t even give a reason for the decision. So can the next person that wants to appeal cite this? Not really because there’s no reason to cite. The piss judges couldn’t even be bothered to release their rationale.
