He does have many beliefs 
I thought the Big Day was tomorrow, but maybe it’s Monday. I’m under the impression her lawyers will be ready to attach liens or whatever it is they need to do to collect on that day, but expect considerable resistance and delay from Trump’s legal team.
It’s a different matter with the NY civil fraud case. There they have a court appointed monitor and can just call up Barbara Jones and ask for a list of assets and check off the ones they want to take.
It would also throw a whole benchful of monkey wrenches into his campaign, wouldn’t it?
WAG: Melania is probably smart enough to have salted away a substantial fortune over the course of her marriage, and stashed it overseas out of his reach, enough so that she’ll emerge from the Trump ruins with more wealth than he has.
A tank of loogies would be much more fitting.
Legal deadlines usually expire at the end of business on the day in question, so he has up until the end of tomorrow to pony up the cash. If he fails to do that, it’s open season on him the next working day, which would be Monday.
Expect a pile of filings to be dropped off early Monday, is what I’m thinking. Carroll’s lawyers have had a month to prepare, and should have at least a few good liens already written out.
This causes me to wonder if assets held by the marital community are in jeopardy. I don’t think Florida is a community property state. Knowing Trump, she’s not the owner of anything significant, unless it’s part of a fraud scheme. Do these judgments effect her finanically?
Probably depends on the probate laws of the state where the marriage took place and/or of the marital domicile, the terms of the prenup, and how skillful Melania’s lawyers and financial planners have been at putting her money where he can’t get at it.
I would be very surprised if she had not protected everything she had squirrelled away, by fair means or foul.
She has reportedly renegotiated her prenup a couple of times in the last several years. There is no doubt that she has enough of her own separate assets to live quite comfortably on her own if need be. I would think that transferring a bunch of stuff to her in the midst of these judgments would be illegal but she’ll be just find with nothing more sent to her.
I’d expect a significant portion to be in Barron’s name, which would protect it from being a marital asset.
I would suspect that she is on an allowance. Big ticket items go on a CC in both their names. I wonder if she has managed to save much…
Not that I feel sorry for her. She’s just a gold digger after all.
Not just “illegal”, but “can’t happen”. There’s been a court-appointed monitor in place for over a year, with authority over any such transactions. Right after the creation of the imaginatively-named “The Trump Organization II.”
My understanding is that bankruptcy does not exempt losers from court obligations.
(Or anyone else, of course—I just like calling him a loser)
I’m sure there are exceptions, but you can definitely discharge the debt from a judgment in bankruptcy. But the Bankruptcy Court would have the power to look at all your assets and all your debts, and is charged with paying off as much of your debts as possible. The rest go away. So, assuming Trump has assets, bankruptcy won’t solve his problem.
The Trump E Jean Carrol Tower. Complete with big gold letters.
Bankruptcy would also make his financial information public, which he has been trying to hide since the beginning.
Now, here’s a question: How much of a hit on the cash settlement would you be willing to take, just to destroy something that Donnie is proud of? Like, “I could sell Mar a Lago for $10 million, but I’d rather raze it and salt the earth. So I’ll write that $10 million off against part of the judgement.”
Other Trump legal actions value it at $18 Million.
ISTM, him going bankrupt, without being able to discharge the legal debts would be a good thing for his victims as it would free him of other obligations so he could direct more money to them. IOW, if the courts say ‘you don’t have to pay the million dollars you owe those contractors’, that’s another million dollars Carroll will have an easier time getting her hands on.
