They'd rather live in fear and hate, because it's easier and familiar. Like a messed up form of "nostalgia." It's the same people who think all homosexuals are automatically out to assault everyone, or that all Muslims are terrorists, or if you live in a low-economy neighborhood you must be a thief/druggie/gang member. The worst part is, I'm really not exaggerating. Born and raised in TX, and it's 2024. Everything is out there if you want to learn, and many just choose not to. I see it all the time... and they don't all live out in the country, either.

Billionaires do not keep actual cash in something like a checking or savings account because the FDIC only insures accounts to $250,000 per account per bank and if you have billions you can only spread it around to so many banks until you run out of options. Most wealthy people who have large amounts of liquid assets, and who wants to keep them safe and liquid, will engage the cash management part of a big bank, much like a company does, that invests in low yield high quality liquid fixed income instruments like t-bills and other government instruments, CD's, repo's, high quality liquid paper and other "no lose" instruments. They can be converted to cash nearly instantly or at worst T+3 but if someone wanted to write a hundred million dollar check they could in theory. Most ultra wealthy people have their money locked up in whatever made them or their progenitors wealthy in the first place. Their money is in a privately held business or in publicly traded stock that they can't liquidate without screwing the stock price up or are held to black out periods. Or it's in illiquid assets like real estate or things like private equity or venture capital funds. However, when you hit a certain level of wealth your banker isn't the teller or branch manager at BofA anymore. You get into the private banking division and they'll open up lines of credit against your assets that you can spend on just about anything that's legal. They'll give you $20 million dollar mortgages if you have the assets to back it up. Sure, they'll underwrite the asset but if you're worth billions they'll overlook it (if your billions aren't in an overvalued pre-IPO startup). So no, wealthy people don't have much in cash but they can readily access it. I don't know Zuckerberg's personal financial situation much at all but I don't think he's sold much stock other than putting it in trusts or donating it. He also doesn't take much of a salary relatively but he's worth almost $80 billion. He probably can't write much of a check, relatively, against his actual cash but he probably has tens of billions in lines of credit available if he wants.

During the appeals, can the State bring up Trump's inability to secure a bond as evidence that the fraud charges were true? I.e. Trump said MAL was worth 2 billion, banks love to loan him money because he always pays, every bank is lining up to loan him money, he has half a billion in cash, etc. Doesn't all the State have to say is "if any of that was true, Trump should have had zero problems posting a bond"?

"Doesn't all the State have to say is "if any of that was true, Trump should have had zero problems posting a bond"?" No. I don't think that's an argument The State can make in Court; and if it could, the State still would need to prove that no unrelated event impacted Trump's finances (the same reason why stockholders can't usually sue a company just for its stock's value crashing).
@thomasdee1980

I don't think they can really use that as from my understanding (I am not a lawyer), an appeal only looks at what was covered in the original trial. The fact that he could not raise the bond certainly does not help him, but I doubt that the state would use it against him because the evidence that they need to defend is the evidence that was originally presented at the trial. One exception will be the fact that Trump's former chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg plead guilty to perjury for comments he made during the original trial. I am sure that will be brought up and it will hurt Trump

They probably can't use that specifically, given the number of confounding factors, but they might be able to do something with all his contradictory claims about whether or not he has the money to pay, depending on who he's talking to; seems like pretty clear evidence of a pattern of behavior rather than simple clerical errors.

The video explains why. Trump couldn't pay the full amount without selling key assets, so they would take irrecoverable losses if forced to do so. That would be unjust if he were to win his appeal. (Don't worry, he will lose. But even Trump gets the full protection of the law.) The fact that Trump's ego couldn't handle that admission so he lied on "Truth" Social about having the cash is problematic but doesn't undo the decision or the reality he couldn't pay. I'm actually glad the New York legal system gives him the same options as other defendants to try to win the case. It makes it clear this is not, in fact, a political prosecution.

They could have reduced the bond. Heck, they could have dismissed the case instead of trying to railroad someone they knew was innocent.

Technically, right. So *technically* this is just the *bond* reduced, not the actual judgement itself. So he's still on the hook for the full amount in the event that he's not able to appeal, I believe? This is just a measure which makes it so that rather than having his properties seized (as we should have, by the way, I do regard the court's decision here as a massive mistake and miscarriage of justice.) he'll be able to actually acquire a bond and then when he loses the case he'll be on the hook for the full amount. *I THINK* this is how the situation has settled, at least. I'm fairly certain he will still be on the hook for the full amount when the trial concludes. But this *was* a massive favor for him that he in no way deserved.

The question on my mind is "Why the hell was his bond reduced so much, after he has repeatedly broken oaths, lied through his teeth, insulted all the judicial system, judges, clerks, all of them, threatened even ?" How the hell does he get through all of this, any single occurrence directed at your average joe would land them severe repercussions, so WHY ?

due to a systematic corruption at all levels of the government. the product of having money and power be considered moral paragons, that along with the pervasive nature of 'freedom' often being interpreted as 'lack of personal responsibility' as a means to justify any action they want. the system started foul but it was never corrected. most of America's history is spent in war of one kind or another because it's an empire by any other name. nobility has entrenched itself and while it may not be legally codified it is still there

Massive bond? Do you mean the once significantly more massive bond that was alarmingly reduced by a corrupt court in an unprecedented decision (to my knowledge, and, yes, it's a pun of sorts)? What can be done about all the corrupt individuals in public office? They need to be removed, held accountable, punished, and their past works needs to be reviewed. This is a nightmare farce. This is awful.

If you'd understood the video, you'd know that this is simply the court giving Trump the same leeway it would give other defendants. He gets treated as if he could be innocent until the appeal is finished. It's simply more evidence this isn't a political prosecution. And it's not like he's going to win this appeal so he will have to pay for everything anyway pretty soon. And even the reduced bond is already proving a problem according to this video. So, Trump ain't getting out this time. Justice will be done, we just have to wait a little longer until the process is completed.

@LegalEagle Regarding other "billionaires" paying it off, it would be either not income if structured as a loan (assuming adequate interest requirements) or a gift. A gift above the lifetime gift tax exemption would be taxable at 18%-40%, almost all of which would be at 40%. So paying off his $547,300,000 in judgments as a gift could cost up to $912,166,666 depending on the source of funding.
