It will be interesting to see what happens with Trump tomorrow. I'm sure he hasn't secured the funding, I'm pretty sure he has exaggerated his liquidity so can't come up with the cash himself, and there has been no evidence of him liquidating assets (which he would have had to start weeks or months ago) to pay-up.
So...what? Will NY seize his assets (like Trump Tower) and sell them off? Or will he have a dodge that allows him to skate (i.e. rich people never seem to pay the piper, even when they are convicted or lose judgments). I guess we'll see.
Especially if they start seizing, this will give him whining ammo for his numerous rallies; portraying himself as the victim (as usual), and decrying the "deep state" and multiple conspiracies. Should be a good chunk of red meat to throw to his ravening followers.
What's really sort of amusing is that if he hadn't taken center stage in 2016, he might have been able to continue to skate with the status quo until he finally died. But because he craves the spotlight (and power), he subjected himself to increased scrutiny, and with that scrutiny was the realization he had been a naughty boy. And the more they dig, the naughtier he was found to have been. Plus, seeking power, he violated additional laws -allegedly, though I've heard the tape, so it's not really in doubt- that wouldn't have been available to him to break if he wasn't seeking power (e.g. I can't violate election laws because I'm not running for anything, and am not involved in the political process).
