On Wednesday, attorneys for Donald Trump requested a 30-day postponement of the $355 million fine handed down in last week's conclusion of the Trump family's NY fraud trial and, one day later, their request was firmly shot down.

In an emailed response, New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron delivered what Law and Crime refers to as a resounding “No,” explaining to Trump's defense team that they "have failed to explain, much less justify, any basis for a stay," adding that he plans to sign a judgment proposed by the state that finalizes his ruling.

A quick visit to Truth Social — Trump's preferred sounding board for firing back at decisions against his wishes such as this one — reveals no direct statement other than a share of a Fox News article with his added quote, “New York Resident Greg Gutfeld Threatens to Move to Florida Over Trump Being Fined for Fraud." Will have to check back later for what is sure to follow.

1. Good!

Fuck Shitler.

[Beachnutt]

2. I hope the CIA is all over trump

because he is desperate and will pull any rotten trick in his playbook including selling classified info.

[mobeau69]

3. He's desperate and dangerous. Not a good combination.

[mpcamb]

5. i think the quotes he's going to give now may help sink him.

[Irish_Dem]

7. Yes I was thinking the same. Trump is likely to take foreign money

in exchange for who knows what.

But we don't know how well the CIA is functioning right now.

[erronis]

16. It is the FBI who needs to be all over this. The CIA can let the FBI know what they know

but they don't have any -ahem- enforcement mechanisms.

The -ahem- is because the CIA frequently steps way outside of its authorized zones.

[brooklynite]

27. He cant

Assuming 1) he had kept documents the FBI didn't find or 2) he had made copies of everything, his material is 4 years old. Not likely to draw a large profit.

[PJMcK]

41. Classified documents have two levels of information

The first level, as you wrote, is the specific data in the document. This could be battle plans, political insights, financial or personal information or more. This is generally time-sensitive in that the information will likely become stale or irrelevant as circumstances change.

The second level, which is often more important, reflects the methods and sources of the information. These may still be operative and continuing to provide up to date data. These sources are usually included in classified documents to buttress the information contained in the document. This is really important information and needs to be protected.

If Trump knows who our spies are in Russia, that would be very valuable to Putin, as one example. This is why Trump’s retaining of classified material is so serious.

52. Remember the 'there is nothing to see in those rooms' Jedi mind trick played on the FBI when they searched MAL?

There's still secrets out there.

[BlueKota]

4. Hey Greg Gutfeld,

whom ever you are, speaking as someone who was born, raised, and still does live in New York State, you won't be missed!

[4lbs]

18. Let him go. He's a political contributor on Faux News. He's about as useful as yesterday's turds.

Hey Greg, go ahead and go to Florida.

Yer gonna need a bigger boat, because the state is sinking due to the climate change you keep denying.

[Conjuay]

46. And you're not welcome

In Florida

[MOMFUDSKI]

6. The orange clown can't come up with the

$$$$$!!!!! Damn shame. And CIA is watching. Lol

[mobeau69]

10. Yep, he ain't got the money. LOL

and the interest is adding up at about 87K/day.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

39. That has to irk a guy who cashed a 13 cent check

[yonder]

45. Plus effin one. I'm howling here. Damn, that's going to keep me chuckling all day.

I can't keep up. Wasn't that 13 cents something to do with Barron's Boy Scout dues or something?

Whatever it was, your comment is a hoot!

[OAITW r.2.0]

8. The day of financial reckoning is approaching, Don.

Start liquidating! Surely, MBS and your boss, Putin, will buy your properties at inflated rates to bail you out. You'll be poorer, but still in their debt.

[Irish_Dem]

9. "NO" is not a word Trump hears very often.

This can't feel good to him.

[speak easy]

23. No does not register for that guy.

No means Yes.

[Irish_Dem]

25. He will threaten and bully until it turns into a yes or a maybe.

[speak easy]

26. I was thinking of sexual assault :(

[Irish_Dem]

28. Yes I thought of that too.

Many immature males think that when a woman says no, that she is just teasing.

I actually saw a research study along these lines. Asking college age males
what women mean when they say no to sexual advances. Their answers were
astonishing.

This was some years ago, I am hoping young men are more enlightened today.

[Walleye]

29. You just described a rapist

[speak easy]

34. Exactly.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

49. God likes rape

He called Lot, the man who was gonna toss his 12 yr old daughters to the horny mob just so they wouldn't bother his angel 'guests', the only Holy man in S&G.

Don't forget the very same man later committed incest with those very same girls and made Hapsburg babies with them.

Was still considered 'Holy'.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

11. I knew Judge Engoron would stick to his guns.(Pardon the pun.)

Go suck on that orange puss.

[Novara]

12. Ooooooo, looks like the "billionaire" is short $450 million

Heh.

[republianmushroom]

13. Get out the check book, dude.

[Warpy]

33. To do that, he's going to have to start selling off his shares in Truth Social

before the ink is dry on that merger contract. That's where he's got a place to raise real cash. His properties are mortgaged up the gazoo and won't bring much. It's the cash he's got in the market where the money will come from.

Otherwise, he'd be selling his properties at fire sale prices to raise cash and he's not doing that. He knows damned full well the creditors get paid first and he'd net relatively little to pay off his fine.

Meanwhile, that 9% interest is adding up. He'd better act sooner rather than later. I imagine anyone who knows what his major stock holdings are is dumping them quietly, knowing TFG will have to sell at a loss and ready to snap them up.

[twodogsbarking]

14. Deny, deny, deny. D. Trump

Yep, he said it.
On Edit. We must be fair to Trump this was about sexual assault not fraud.

"You've got to deny, deny, deny and push back on these women," Trump said, according to Woodward.

[dlk]

15. Trump doesn't have the funds to pay the judgment

He’s so vastly leveraged, he probably can’t secure an appeal bond, either.

[flying_wahini]

17. This warms the cockles of my heart.

Think he pays his lawyers now? LOL! I can hear him now
“I lost so I’m not paying.”

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

43. 'If you don't win, you don't pay' is a common slogan

[world wide wally]

19. Time for a shoe sale!

[SouthernDem4ever]

20. Now Dump's lawyers are worried they won't get paid

Hope they are keeping a close watch on the gofundme being raised to pay them.

[Wonder Why]

21. My opinion: That's not very fair of you, Judge! Here's my thought

[Conjuay]

47. You seem

Rather conflicted, WW

[William769]

22. K&R

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. traitortrump has been delaying paying his entire life.

[pfitz59]

30. His supporters will call him a martyr

and political prisoner. They won't even look at the truth, which has been plain to see for DECADES! Trump is a lifelong conman, bully, cheater and thug.

[bmichaelh]

31. Two Months

Trump had two months to plan for this contingency from the time of closing arguments to the judge's decision.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

32. This was a stunt to delay entry of judgment and delay the start of 30 day period to post bond

This stunt did not work

[4lbs]

35. So, in essence, just pay up and shut up. Please.

It won't happen, because Dumpy the Clown doesn't want to do either, but....

A boy can dream.

[Attilatheblond]

36. Gussing he didn't get paid for a million orders of those stupid sneakers last weekend.

Gonna have to come up with some more non-existent products to sell at ridiculous prices. Poor lil Smelvis.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

37. Good

[Martin68]

38. Dump is finally reaching the limit of his ability to defy and game the system.

The system has had just about enough of his shenanigans and is not putting up with any more.

[C Moon]

40. So I guess the jackass wants to pocket the millions from that GoFundMe.

Or, knowing the source (tfg and his disciples), the whole GFM was a scam.

[PJMcK]

42. Gutfeld is a joke

Let me get this straight. Gutfeld is butt-hurt because Trump was proven to be a monumental fraudster so Gutfeld is going to move out of New York State because they enforce the laws.

Goodby, Greg. I’m vaguely aware that you’re one of the Fox News idiots. Why would you think that any one of New York’s 20 million residents would give a damn where you live? This level of self-importance is ridiculous.

It’s also bullshit. Fox is based in Manhattan on Sixth Avenue. They’re not going anywhere and neither is Gutfeld. It’s all performative BS.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

44. Awwwwwwwww, poor Donnie!

[WestMichRad]

48. Wonder how long it takes TFG to try and weasel...

… some of that $2 billion out of Jared.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

50. "New phone. Who this?"

[WestMichRad]

53. LOL!!

[magicarpet]

51. I understand toupees are commanding a high price on the open market.

Smelvis must have tons of those hanging around besides the dead one on his head.

That might be a quick source for raising funds to pay his court judgements against him.
