MANHATTAN, NEW YORK: Per the outcome of the New York civil fraud lawsuit, former President Donald Trump received a substantial fine and a ban on conducting business in New York City for three years.

He has been directed by a Manhattan court to pay a sum of $454 million by March 2024, according to a report from The List.

However, the 77-year-old MAGA strongman encountered difficulties in fulfilling this obligation, primarily due to a lack of readily available liquid assets.

Instead, most of Trump’s wealth is tied up in real estate, leaving him with insufficient funds to meet a judgment of such enormous scale.

Trump’s lawyers explained their client’s predicament on CNN, saying, "Very few bonding companies will consider a bond of anything approaching that magnitude.”

At the time, Trump remarked on the judgment on his beleaguered social networking platform, Truth Social, calling the demand "un-Constitutional, un-American [and] unprecedented.”

The case is presently being appealed, and Trump's team is attempting to delay the bond posting until all legal options have been explored.

Netizens question why Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner aren’t helping out former POTUS

The news of the 2024 Republican presidential nominee's financial struggles has been the subject of amusement for many of his detractors.



 

It has also sparked a lively discussion on social media, with many users asking, "Why aren't Jared and Ivanka bailing Trump out?"

Given the Trump family's history of financial aid to one another, this question is not without substance.

For instance, Ivanka Trump was formerly on the board of directors of Signature Bank, which funded one of the Trump golf courses and provided loans to her husband and father-in-law, Jared and Charles Kushner, among other transactions.

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump should never have been allowed to work in the White House due to the DOJ’s anti-nepotism guidelines, according to NBC News.

Kushner was unqualified for the tasks he was assigned by his father-in-law, which included the opioid crisis, modernizing the federal government, criminal justice reform, peace in the Middle East, and the coronavirus pandemic.

After leaving the White House, Kushner's private equity firm received a $2bn (£1.59bn) investment from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund, according to BBC News.

The ex-advisor to former President Trump has since defended his business dealings with Saudi Arabia and its Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Jared and Ivanka claimed to have divested from their prior businesses and refused a salary from the White House, but analysis shows they disclosed up to $640 million in outside income while in the White House and failed to fully divest from their businesses.

When the pair left Trump’s administration, they left behind a trail of ethical breaches.

Per Newsweek, in the New York civil fraud case against Donald Trump, Ivanka was compelled to disclose that she and two of her brothers, Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump, had pledged their personal assets to assist their father in securing a loan from Deutsche Bank.

The information was used to demonstrate that Trump had inflated his personal net worth to appear more attractive to lenders.

According to the New York Magazine, Ivanka was unhappy to share information about her family's financial dealings, but her father made it worth her while by paying the fees for her two legal teams, which totaled more than $2 million, through one of his political action committees, the Save America PAC.

If Donald Trump is unable to pay the substantial fine from his fraud case and his legal appeals are unsuccessful, it is still very likely that his adult children will assist him in securing the necessary funds.
