Trump defends his 'greatest properties in the world' and 'liquid' company after lawyers warned he would have to sell  ASSETS to cover the $453.2 million bond (even though he still has a lifeline)

A furious Donald Trump defended his 'greatest properties in the world' and the success of his real estate company as he lashed out at a New York judge rejecting his bid to post $100 million bond in the fraud case.

The former president also defended his company, which he argued was only under attack because of his political success as a Republican. 

A New York appeals court shut down his bid to pay a bond of only $100 million after his lawyers warned he may have to sell his assets to cover the full amount.

The 77-year-old does have a financial lifeline if a merger between his Truth Social network and Digital World Acquisition Corporation goes through.

But he only has 17 days to to either pay the fine in full or get the cash together to pay the bond. 

‘I did nothing wrong, except build a successful and very liquid company, owning some of the Greatest Properties in the World, and defeat Hillary Rodham Clinton and the Democrats in the 2016 Presidential Election, an Election which a Republican was not expected to win,’ Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

Former President Donald Trump expressed ongoing frustration Thursday evening over his conviction in his New York civil fraud trial requiring him him to pay a $453.2 million bond 

Trump had only 30 days from the date of the ruling - February 16 - in which he either has to pay the entire amount or post bond.

Trump’s lawyers said Thursday the former president would post a bond of $100 million, arguing that Trump’s company could not secure the full amount to pay the ‘exorbitant and punitive amount’ leveled by the judge.

New York Attorney General Letitia James continues taunting Trump after the ruling, posting updates of the rising fee on social media. The fee increases by $111,984 in interest per day.

James has even threatened to seize some of Trump’s buildings in New York City to pay the punishing fine.

'If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets', she told ABC News last week.

The former president claimed he was being persecuted because of his political success, pointing out he was ‘dominating’ his Democratic opponent Joe Biden in the polls

One potential financial lifeline for the president is his proposed merger between his Truth Social network and the Digital World Acquisition Corporation, a deal that could be worth as much as $4 billion if it closes. The company is expected to vote on the merger with Trump media on March 22.

The former president claimed he was being persecuted because of his political success, pointing out he was ‘dominating’ his Democratic opponent Joe Biden in the polls.

‘This is a Weaponized Attack on Joe Biden’s Political Opponent, unlike anything that has happened in the History of the United States,’ he said, repeating that the entire case was a ‘Political Witch Hunt.’

He warned the unjust ruling would only motivate more businesses to leave the state of New York, which would lead to it’s ‘destruction’ as businesses would leave by the ‘thousands.’

‘We will continue to appeal until Justice prevails!’ Trump concluded.
