The legal defeat triggered an immediate outburst online. Taking to Truth Social, Trump unleashed a fierce attack on the justice system.

He maintained his long-standing defense of total denial. “Surprisingly, the Supreme Court declined to ‘review’ a Fake Case brought against me by a woman I never met (Decades old celebrity photo line, standing with her husband, does not count!),” Trump wrote.

In New York, in order for Mierda47 to appeal the judgment he is required to post either
- Cash
- Unencumbered assets (meaning no loans or mortgages on those assets), or
- A surety bond (which is similar to a Bail Bond, requiring a cash payment to the insurer for a 10% approximately as a non-refundable fee for the bond).

The first defamation judgment for $5M is under appeal. Mierda47 posted cash in order to file the appeal.

That is an admission of guilt.

I wonder how the $5 million to go towards his fruitless appeals is kept.
