I imagine at this point
most lawyers would rather throw themselves out of window than represent him. He can't even do the basics sit down and shut up that most of learn when we're six.

Well. Maybe even bail bond companies
because if Legal Eagle is right and Trump can't get a firm to stump up the full amount while he appeals, then he's liable for the amount in full right away. And as is pointed out Trump's assets are very visible and easy to find - they have his fucking name all over them. God I'd love to be the bailiff firm that got that gig!!!!

I don’t know what will derail Trump, but somehow I don’t think this is the silver bullet.
Maybe it will be, and he won’t run, but I think, by hook or by crook, he’s gonna run.

I don't know if this is going to stop him
but having to pay all that cash immediately is going to be a problem for his cashflow AND if he can't then other trail about him misrepresenting his wealth will be incredibly hard to fight (you said you had all that cash to hand, mister Trump).
It also bodes ill for his other legal issues as he just can't get decent legal representation now - he won't take advice and he doesn't pay his bills.
I think it's likely to be cumulative.

i think a lot of people buy into the false idea that Trump funds his own campaign with his own money
it's pretty much all superpac money, which will ramp up for Trump and Biden once (or "if" if you're the optimistic sort) they're confirmed as candidates, to levels that will make this settlement miniscule by comparison
The total election spending in 2020 was estimated at 14 billion according to Fed election commission filings

Yeah, maybe
but there are limits on what you can do with donations and while Trump can get away with a lot, $85m in such a high-profile move would be very risky. A lot of his funds come in small donations so seeing all that go to E Jean Carrol could end up hurting him.
I don't know. We will find out won't we?
