What he actually omits to say is that the gag order does not bar him from talking about the judge and other court officials it stops him from speaking about their families.'They've Taken Away My Right to Speak,' Trump Says While Ranting to Reporters

Shit, somebody set himself on fire outside the Trump trial courthouse - he doesn't seem to have had strong pro or anti-Trump beliefs, he scattered pamphlets with links to a manifesto that links cryptocurrency, Stanley Kubrick, and The Simpsons to a plot to brainwash the world

Oh dear. Trouble with the bond. Amongst other things it turns out the company that is underwriting it is actually valued at less than the bond itself; they are using a shell company based in the Caymans to artificially inflate their actual worth:
Trump’s $175 Million Fraud Bond Should Be Replaced Because Company Can’t Prove They Can Pay It, AG Argues
The attorney general’s office argues the company that underwrote Trump’s bond isn’t “trustworthy nor competent.”www.forbes.com
surely they sieze his assests now - hes just dicking them about. Presumably becasue he hasnt actually got the money.Poetic, seeing what the fine is for in the first place.
The important part is not that he hasn't got the money (it is half a billion after all) but that he hasn't got the draw to get it from elsewhere. His sphere of influence is over other chancers and wannabes, this really is the emperor being shown beyond any reasonable doubt to be stark bollock naked.surely they sieze his assests now - hes just dicking them about. Presumably becasue he hasnt actually got the money.
tbf I imagine she's making sure there's absolutely no way Trump can wriggle once the appeal fails, by reducing the bond, then accepting the dodgy bond and so on, bending over backwards to help him and so on. Then once the appeal is thrown out he'll have nowhere at all to turn and if the bond company turns out to not have the money and Trump doesn't either, nor he has the assets to cover it, his bigly-billionaire-bullshit is blown once and for all.
Are there any rules about bankrupts running for President? We know that those serving time can still run the country in prison.tbf I imagine she's making sure there's absolutely no way Trump can wriggle once the appeal fails, by reducing the bond, then accepting the dodgy bond and so on, bending over backwards to help him and so on.

I guess the AG might have decided it would be a bad look to seize all Trump's assets and have him live in a tent outside the courthouse while the hush-money trial is ongoing, hilarious though it would have been
3. Trump’s lawyers focused on his ignorance
and2. Trump appeared uncomfortable
During much of Colangelo’s opening statement, Trump appeared uncomfortable in his seat with his brow furrowed while the unsavory details of the alleged affair with Daniels and his boasts about grabbing women’s genitals in the infamous Access Hollywood tape were read out to the jury.
But part of the Access Hollywood tape that was read out verbatim – when Trump remarked he could grab women “by the pussy” – caused Trump to frown deeper and fidget in his seat. The next six weeks are expected to be a test for Trump to keep his composure.
The point Blanche tried to stress was that Trump had nothing to do with the hush-money payments and how it was all arranged because Trump left it up to his former fixer and lawyer Michael Cohen.
Blanche also suggested Trump did nothing wrong in trying to influence the 2016 election, in part because catch-and-kill schemes are not illegal. “Entering into a non-disclosure agreement is perfectly legal,” Blanche said.
But other parts of his opening statement seemed bizarre. Blanche tried to portray Trump as just a family man – which felt jarring against the affair allegations. And Blanche once added Trump “is a man” like him – oddly, with no follow-up statement.
(my bold)Blanche also found some of his statements stricken after the judge sustained prosecutors’ objections, including on assertions that Cohen previously lied in court and that Trump did everything on the advice of counsel.
I start to hear the venga busI like the fact he's described it as a 'very sad day.'
Or the bond is delivered to trump, in a large bag, in quarters from a great height.Let's hope that he .... skips bail then
