The federal judge who oversaw a New York defamation trial that resulted in an $83.3 million award to a longtime magazine columnist who says Donald Trump raped her in the 1990s refused Thursday to relieve the ex-president from the verdict's financial pinch.

Judge Lewis A. Kaplan told Trump's attorney in a written order that he won't delay deadlines for posting a bond that would ensure 80-year-old writer E. Jean Carroll can be paid the award if the judgment survives appeals.

The judge said any financial harm to the Republican front-runner for the presidency results from his slow response to the late-January verdict in the defamation case resulting from statements Trump made about Carroll while he was president in 2019 after she revealed her claims against him in a memoir.

He’s absolutely broke as a joke

What a chode

My jokes are worth more…

For example:

Why did the chicken cross the road?
To save his nuggets

It’s a pretty awful joke, but at least I get a 5yo to laugh.

Trump had secured a $91.6 million bond from the Federal Insurance Co.

I'm a bit naive when it comes to bonds, so hoping someone more educated can fill me in. What series of events have to occur before we get to see Dog the Bounty Hunter tase the ever living shit out of Trump?
