re: Trump and bankruptcy: It is important to note that this judgment cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. The court will bend over backwards to find ways to help him pay, because overall, that is the point; but similar to Steve Carell in The Office, just yelling, “I declare… BANKRUPTCY!!!” is not a magic bullet that solves all your financial problems. He may well file for bankruptcy, but it’s going to be everybody else who owes him money who is going to be screwed over. The State of New York is going to get their due, in this life or the next.

As a lot of folks have commented, it’s not so much about making the ruling go away as it is about preventing James from picking his bones clean and then cracking them for the marrow. All the talk is about how he expects to gain political capital by portraying each seizure and sale as an attack on his campaign, but Tia James is going to go for the low-hanging fruit first which will be his bank accounts and slapping liens on his properties. It could be days or weeks before she actually gets around to slapping locks on anything.
