Nope, this isn't a parody thread. This is the real deal. Trump is claiming he is too rich here. I remember back in 2015, when he claimed he was so rich he would be funding his own campaign. We all know how that claim went south. Yet, Trump's own lawyers are arguing this would "make it impossible to secure and post a complete bond."
Trump has been arguing about an 'unconstitutional,' 'violation of his Eighth Amendment right against excessive fines." That sounds a bit redundant .. any violation of a right, is by itself unconstitutional. But I digress.
This is not some real estate deal, or Branding negotiation. This is about law and order. This is about no one citizen being above the law, and penalties fitting the circumstances, the particulars.

Trump's lawyers floated the offer in court papers asking the state's mid-level appeals court for an order preventing New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office from enforcing the $454 million judgment while his appeal plays out. Trump would have to post the full amount to pause collection automatically.
James' office opposes Trump's plan, saying his lawyers have all but conceded he has “insufficient liquid assets to satisfy the judgment.”
“These are precisely the circumstances for which a full bond or deposit is necessary,” Senior Assistant Solicitor General Dennis Fan wrote, saying Trump's offer would leave James' office and the state “with substantial shortfalls” if the verdict is upheld.
“A prevailing plaintiff is entitled to have her award secured, and defendants have never demonstrated that Mr. Trump’s liquid assets could satisfy the full amount of the judgment,” Fan wrote.
