Commonly, 10% of a bond is required up-front. Trump’s total liability in this case is closer to $450 million, so he will need to front approximately $45 million in cash to obtain a bond. Most reputable news outlets estimate he has this in liquid assets.

However, collateral covering the full liability of the judgment is required to secure the bond. Speculation is that several of his properties will be required collateral.

Trump may try to secure collateral through other means such as capturing RNC or PAC funds, taking his social disinformation network public, etc.

I’m looking forward to watching it play out. The civil trials have partially resorted my faith in the rule of law. The criminal cases will determine if Trump can put himself above the rule of law. A successful presidential election, or the Supreme Court granting him “absolute immunity” and I doubt anyone is seeing a dime of the civil judgements against him.
