The left is using lawfare against President Trump to try and stop him from returning to the White House.
On February 16, Trump was ordered to pay $464 million in damages for a “victimless” crime.
Manhattan Judge Arthur Engoron ordered President Trump pay approximately $355 million in disgorgement and over $98 million in prejudgment interest at a 9% annual rate. Furthermore, the judge imposed a three-year ban on President Trump serving as an officer or director in NYC businesses and applying for loans from any financial institution chartered or registered in New York.
President Trump is obligated to post the bond by Monday. Failure to do so would enable New York’s lunatic Attorney General Letitia James to seize his bank accounts or properties.
The left has been absolutely elated over the unjust ruling against President Trump.
President Trump has revealed that, despite what his lawyers say, he has nearly $500 million in cash.

From NBC News:
“Through hard work, talent, and luck, I currently have almost five hundred million dollars in cash, a substantial amount of which I intended to use in my campaign for president,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social in all caps. “The often overturned political hack judge on the rigged and corrupt A.G. case, where I have done nothing wrong, knew this, wanted to take it away from me, and that’s where and why he came up with the shocking number which, coupled with his crazy interest demand, is approximately $454,000,000.”
Trump wrote that he did “nothing wrong except win an election in 2016 that I wasn’t expected to win, did even better in 2020, and now lead, by a lot, in 2024. This is communism in America!”
In a post on Truth Social, Trump suggested that the judge was aware of his financial resources, which is how he came up with that number.
THROUGH HARD WORK, TALENT, AND LUCK, I CURRENTLY HAVE ALMOST FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN CASH, A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WHICH I INTENDED TO USE IN MY CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT. THE OFTEN OVERTURNED POLITICAL HACK JUDGE ON THE RIGGED AND CORRUPT A.G. CASE, WHERE I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG, KNEW THIS, WANTED TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME, AND THAT’S WHERE AND WHY HE CAME UP WITH THE SHOCKING NUMBER WHICH, COUPLED WITH HIS CRAZY INTEREST DEMAND, IS APPROXIMATELY $454,000,000. I DID NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT WIN AN ELECTION IN 2016 THAT I WASN’T EXPECTED TO WIN, DID EVEN BETTER IN 2020, AND NOW LEAD, BY A LOT, IN 2024.THIS IS COMMUNISM IN AMERICA!
NO TRIAL, NO JURY, NO CRIME, NO VICTIM, ONLY A CROOKED JUDGE AND A CORRUPT, TRUMP HATING ATTORNEY GENERAL, WHO TAKES HER ORDERS DIRECTLY FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. ELECTION INTERFERENCE AT A LEVEL NEVER SEEN BEFORE!!!
So one Corrupt, Radical Left Judge in New York, a Trump hater a the highest level, can disobey and laugh at the Appellate Division Ruling that gives me victory, and confiscate New York property from me that took a lifetime of hard work to accumulate and build? It sounds like COMMUNISM to me! THERE SHOULD BE NO FINE, I DID NOTHING WRONG. RELEASE THE GAG ORDER ENGORON!
Leticia James initiated the process of seizing Trump’s assets by filing judgments in Westchester County, where Trump’s private estate and golf course are located.
Many on X have expressed their frustration regarding the excessive bond amount, particularly in New York where violent criminals are routinely released without bond.
Judge Engoron’s ruling to force President Trump to pay a $454 million bond in the political witch hunt brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James is wholly unjust.

A bond of this magnitude and amount has never been made where there are no victims and no damages.… pic.twitter.com/PcXzgwYu4a
If only President Trump had brutally stabbed someone in the NYC Subway, then he wouldn’t have to post bond.

This is election interference. They excessive bond amount is exactly the amount president Trump has to campaign. If this is an election interference I don't know what it's called. The Democrats are dirty, dishonest disgusting excuses for human beings. Anything for power! https://t.co/2feBTwPXiL
