Pulling a typical Trump move, the ex-Celebrity Apprentice host pleaded relatively poverty and admitted that he would be forced to sell some of his real estate properties if the court declined his stay request.

Waiting to file an appeal on the fraud trial Trump and his lawyers had tried to get the court to accept a bond of a much lower $100 million for the court freezing the process.

Associate Justice Anil C. Singh declined. Though the Empire State appeals court did stay the ban on Trump and his sons from serving as corporate directors or obtaining business loans during their greater appeal, Judge Singh wrote that “the interim stay is denied as to the enforcement of monetary judgement.” Trump’s own lawyers estimated in their own paperwork today that the judgement could eventually top $550 million.
