Jean Carroll has ordered the Clerk of the Court to immediately disburse Trump’s cash bond posted on his appeal of the jury’s sex abuse, defamation and punitive damages judgment, totaling $5,779,783 dollars, as Trump files an immediate desperate appeal to to try block it!

It's been accumulating since he posted the funds to the escrow account. His judgment was for $5 million, and she's going to get $5,779,783 - almost 800K in interest.

Thump's net worth increased at least $1,400,000,000 since he re-took office in January 2026. That scamming to the tune of $2.6 MILLION dollars a day. He doesn't need that $5M. That's just 2 days of scamming.

After losing at any business he ever tried, becoming POTUS again has given him a chance to make a fortune through scamming and grifting and spending taxpayers' money instead of his own.

I never hear those figures and think he gets to keep that money. As soon as he kicks the bucket, the lawsuits and the clawbacks will begin.

It’s entirely logical to think it is only a temporary situation.
