        I’m guessing if it comes down to it the court could order banks with accounts in Trump’s name to make the payments

          Others have said the money is in an escrow account, but if that weren’t the case, the court can also essentially order his physical property to be seized up to the value owed. Like, literally walk into mar-a-lago and start taking chairs and paintings and shit.

      Even if he were to just use the interest from a HYSA on the 2 billion he made in 2025, if I did the math properly, he could make 5 million in 28 days.

    “Must”? Yeah right. If he’s not going to get locked up for not paying he’ll just keep not paying.

      I don’t think it’s about being able to afford it. More that he is loath to let her have anything at all on principle.

    $5 million shouldn’t be a problem for him since the reported $1-2 billion he reportedly earned with crypto scams.
