MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: Donald Trump's lawyer Alina Habba strongly criticized the hosts of ABC's 'The View' on Wednesday, March 20, and suggested that their apparent joy at the idea of "chains" blocking the entrance to Trump Tower warranted divine intervention.

Alina Habba calls 'The View' hosts the 'poster children for Trump derangement syndrome'

During an interview with Fox News' Martha MacCallum, Habba remarked, "They are poster children for Trump derangement syndrome and they should seek help," about 'The View' hosts. 

She also expressed dismay at what she perceived as "hatred" from the hosts of the daytime news commentary program towards the former president, labeling their reaction as "pathetic."

"I hope they go to church and pray on that or whoever they pray to because I don't hold hatred like that toward anybody frankly," expressed Habba, adding, "And I think that people say disgusting things like that on national television, and not care about the people that work there, not a care about the jobs they create a really sad state of affairs."

"I don't know if I'm laughing or crying," remarked host Whoopi Goldberg, introducing the news to the amusement of her fellow co-hosts. Sunny Hostin swiftly added, "I can't wait to see the chains on Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue. I'm kind of excited about it."

Meanwhile, Joy Behar quipped, "I guess he didn't make enough money in the golden sneaker thing or the Trump University or the Trump steaks."

Alina Habba rejects real estate sale as a solution for Trump's legal woes

Habba refrained from outlining the specific strategy that Trump might employ to gather funds to pay the bond. However, she vehemently dismissed the notion that he should begin selling his real estate assets, deeming it "completely ridiculous."

According to Habba, such suggestions were part of a concerted campaign by Trump's political adversaries to undermine and dismantle the ex-POTUS, starting with the legal verdict.

She declared, "I think everything is done intentionally. I do not doubt that the witch hunt that the election interference goal is what was ringing steady and loudly and true throughout these trials, frankly."

Habba emphasized the significant impact that Trump and his family have had on the New York skyline through their prominent buildings.

She further stated, "We are seeing it, it is the demise of our country, not the demise of Trump, so we'll handle it as we always have and keep our heads up and keep working hard."

Trump responded angrily to the developments in the civil fraud case, accusing New York officials of attempting to sabotage him for political reasons.

"The Corrupt Political Hacks in New York, Judge, and AG, are demanding that I put up massive sums of money before I can appeal the absurd decision," wrote the ex-POTUS, venting on Truth Social.

He added, "This has never happened before. No jury, no victim, a full disclaimer clause, and happy banks. This is ELECTION INTERFERENCE! A WITCH HUNT!"



 

He subsequently remarked, "I shouldn’t have to put up any money, being forced by the Corrupt Judge and AG, until the end of the appeal. That’s the way system works!" and added, "If I weren’t running for President, and leading by a lot, none of this LEGAL LAWFARE would be happening. ELECTION INTERFERENCE! MAGA!!!"



 



 

Attorney General Letitia James ridicules Donald Trump as he attempts to reduce the bond amount 

Trump's outburst coincided with Attorney General Letitia James dismissing the ex-POTUS' assertion that he couldn't find any company willing to assist him in posting bond for his $454 million fraud judgment. 

She ridiculed his efforts to reduce the amount, stating that the person attesting to his financial status lacks credibility.

Dennis Fan, a lawyer in James' office, countered Trump's arguments in a new filing just days before the deadline, where the attorney general threatened to seize the former president's assets if he failed to pay the judgment.

"Defendants’ latest factual allegations and legal arguments do not support their extraordinary request for a stay based on a bond or deposit of less than one-fourth of the money-judgment amount," wrote Fan in the filing. 

Fan addressed Trump's lawyers' request for a $100 million bond instead of the judge-ordered $454 million, which accrues interest daily.

He also challenged the credibility of the two individuals cited as validators in Trump's recent filing, longtime Trump Organization general counsel Alan Garten, and Trump insurance broker Gary Giulietti.

Fan disproved Trump lawyers' claims that firms were unwilling to accept real estate holdings as collateral, writing, "However, defendants provide no documentary evidence demonstrating precisely what real property they offered to sureties, on what terms that property was offered, or precisely why the sureties were unwilling to accept the assets." 

Despite the legal battles, Trump asserted his financial stability during a press briefing, claiming he could cover the bond.

The White House hopeful said, "We have a substantial amount of cash and a successful company, but they want to strip it away or at least the cash component. Billions of dollars in value, billions of dollars in properties. But they want to seize the cash so I can't utilize it for the campaign".
