Former President Donald Trump owes an additional $87,502 in post-judgment interest every day until he pays the $354 million fine ordered by Judge Arthur Engoron in his civil fraud case, according to ABC News’ calculations based on the judge’s lengthy ruling in the case.
Judge Engoron on Friday fined Trump $354 million plus approximately $100 million in pre-judgment interest in the civil fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, after he found that Trump and his adult sons had inflated Trump’s net worth in order to get more favorable loan terms. The former president has denied all wrongdoing and has said he will appeal.
Engoron ordered Trump to pay pre-judgment interest on each ill-gotten gain – with interest accruing based on the date of each transaction – as well as a 9% post-judgment interest rate once the court enters the judgment in the case.
To him…. That’s a lot of others peoples money.
My entire mortgage is his fucking interest payment, but if I stop paying the fractional payments on it – which this asshole spends in a day on overcooked steaks and too-long ties – they’d take my house. Start fucking taking his stuff, goddammit.
$10k would entirely change my life. That’s it, that’s all I’d need.
I could pay off my debt, then I’d be able to afford a roof over my head.
Sadly a majority of Americans would find 10k quite liberating and it would be a big help.
Given most Americans can’t handle a $1,000 Emergency. Yes $10k would change many lives
I make plenty of money, but the dumb decisions in my past among other things made it so it’s always going to debt, but I can’t climb out of it because of interest, and now that I’ve lost my home (staying with in laws now), my wife spends insane money on door dash, and I can’t get it through her head how expensive and unhealthy it is, and if she really wants fast food, I can go get it. I will literally cook an entire meal, plate it, then hear the doorbell for door dash.
It’s so frustrating and it feels never ending.
That’s only 220 pairs of sneakers a day
This could really hurt his other legal cases. Lawyers will be less enthused to represent him if he might go bankrupt on them and not pay the bill.
And they will be more likely to demand retainer at onset. One recently demanded $3M retainer before starting.

They are getting paid via “exposure”
I’m not sure how the quality can possibly go any lower
I remember thinking this 5-10 Trump lawyers ago. It can always go lower.
That’s only $32M per year, seems like not much of a penalty compared to what he’s not paying.
A life-ruining amount of daily interest for a normal person is even a blip for a fake, likely broke billionaire.
Until he goes to jail, that interest and that fine isn’t going to matter to him. He can just ride it out until he’s dead.
They need to give him a maximum of 4 months to pay it off or he goes to prison.
Maybe he’ll get Epstiened in there and we can be rid of him for good.
So that he could use not just his life, but also his death to irrevocably harm our democratic norms? Nah, let him hie in hospice while some nurse treats him like the tiresome burden he always has been
Can we please get a 90 day cap at which point straight to jail?
This is a civil trial. He won’t go to jail, they’ll just start seizing his assets.
I’ll take that too. Looking forward to seizures. Concerned it’ll just never happen :/
Alex Jones still hasn’t paid shit.
They gonna seize his shit too. Either pay up or lose it all
He’s played this weird shell game with his assets and claimed poverty through complex bankruptcy litigations. It’s far from what’s going on with Trump.
And while Jones may have delayed his fate, he’s still not gonna get away with that shit. Those cases are progressing, we just aren’t hearing a lot about it in the news. 
Yea he did one of the things you never do (unless you’re Trump), fuck with judges. He started hiding his shit after the judge told him to pay up. They’re out for blood.
oh, he was shuffling his assets around long before the judges told him to stop because he knew what was coming.

I bet you could even strategically seize ones you suspected might have compromising things?
Does anyone actually believe he’s going to pay any of this? I highly doubt it.
has that bag of shit Alex Jones paid a fucking dime yet?
Not yet but his creditors voted to liquidate his assets yesterday (?). The gears are slowly grinding.
why would you compare that grifter with this basically identical grifter
They’ve already said they’ll seize his ny assets if he refuses to pay.
I can’t imagine 87k per day.
Can I get this in a better metric like number of trump jumps per mooch?
87 cofefes per hectamooch.
Ahah you misspleeled it
That’s more than I make in 3 years. In one day. But anyone thinking he’s going to pay anything should go buy a bridge. This is America, people. The most corrupt place on earth.
Criminals run the country, and criminals protect each other.
I’d give up my avocado toast AND soy frappucinos for that kind of money.
At least 5 Hamberders
Don’t worry guys. His supporters will give him money. I hope anyone with trumpy parents is cool with not getting any inheritance.
His fundraising has kind of fallen off, I understand the donations aren’t keeping up with all this money going out. It’s hysterical honestly, dude is prob going to die a pauper and ruin his entire legacy which honestly he deserves after what he did to this country.
Jokes on you, i already wasn’t getting an inheritance
So you are saying they are now taxing stupid?
I wonder if this will just be another OJ Simpson situation where he owes money but fucks around paying it and the courts never enforce the ruling.
Will Papa Putin help him out with this?
Absolutely. Putin is said to be a trillionaire. The difference between Trump’s net worth and Putin’s is “about a trillion”. Putin is just going to purchase the US by bankrolling Trump and the Republican party.
Will his GoFundMe keep up with the interest rates? How many Mooches will the rubes last?

Less than one. They’re already broke paying his lawyers and, like, voting for corporations and shit.
That’s a lot of shoes.
Reading up on them, apparently they made 1000, 10 signed by el cheeto himself, and they were priced at $400. So even assuming he makes 100% of that as profit (which he might if the manufacturer didn’t insist he pay up front for them), that’s still less than a business week worth of interest. Though the price of those 10 signed could add another day or two, depending on how ridiculous he went with the price.
Damn that’s like 5 seconds or almost a full American of debt a day https://www.usdebtclock.org/
