Former President Donald Trump is facing "insurmountable difficulties" in obtaining a bond to satisfy the $464 million civil fraud judgment, his attorneys said Monday in a new appellate court filing, and the magnitude of which would require him to use real estate as collateral.

IIRC he's got like half a billion in loan calls coming over the next few years. No wonder 30 companies denied to issue a bond.

Yeah, the financials aren’t looking good at the moment. I read that Biden has $153 million cash-on-hand (more than any Democratic presidential candidate ever at this point), Trump has $36 million.
