re: #20 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus

Why spend your own money if you can spend someone else’s?

Jared has no urgency to cough up $$ until Trump is actually threatened with jail time for not paying.

Till then it’s simply a game of whale hunting.

I sort of wonder if the scale is part of what is throwing people off, that we’re acting as if the ruling was just yesterday and the argument is over way less money than is on the line. The reality is that the ruling is almost a month old, and in that time Trump’s lawyers have filed a series of motions arguing everything from “This bond should be way lower” to “We can’t make bond without selling stuff that our client will never get back” to today’s “PLEASE DON’T MAKE ME POST A BOND!!!”

Yeah, playing the victim is a big part of shtick, but the bigger part is “I’ve got more money than God and can drop enormous sums of money without breaking a sweat.” Yet he doesn’t and he isn’t. Why would he be doing that if it was as simple as calling Riyadh or Moscow and telling them to cut a check?
