Court agrees to block collection of Trump's $454 million civil fraud judgment if he puts up $175M

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.

ONCE AGAIN, Donald Trump is treated with the kid gloves by the courts. Inconceivable. On the day the judgement was to be collected, Trump gets an absolute boon from the heavens above with a 10 day extension and a bond requirement of less than half of the original sum? For what reason? Trump defrauded the American people. He does not deserve special treatment.

Well, he did say that there is a two tiered justice system. Here is the proof that there is. I challenge any MAGA believer to attempt HALF what this guy has done and see if they get the same treatment as him. Go on, I'll wait

It feels like a TV show where the villain somehow keeps getting away because if they caught them the show would be over.
