Donald Trump's decreased bond could be win for Letitia James: George Conway

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : "Countering Conway's second post, Trump has indicated that he intends to pay the appeal bond and do so quickly.
48% : With interest, the penalty is now more than $450 million, and Trump had until Monday to secure a bond of a little more than that amount in order to be able to appeal the ruling.
46% : "The reason is that if Trump can actually bond that much of the judgment, then the State of New York is guaranteed the ability to collect at least that much if it wins the appeal -- without having to send lawyers around the country chasing Trump's assets down, which would be a time-consuming, costly, and difficult process.
41% : Despite the fact that this ruling will allow Trump to delay enforcement of or potentially overturn the penalty against him, Conway, one of the co-founders of the Lincoln Project anti-Trump political action committee, suggested in a series of posts on X that James might be able to see a win in the appellate court's move."If I were the NYAG's office, I'm not sure I wouldn't be pleased with the Appellate Division's order cutting back Trump's bond to $175 million," Conway wrote.
40% : "He later added in another post: "That of course assumes Trump can post the $175m. But if he can't, the State isn't any worse off than it otherwise would have been -- it would have to chase Trump around for the full amount.
38% : Due to the high amount of the penalty against him, Trump had difficulty securing the amount, according to reports and court filings, with over 30 surety entities denying his request for coverage of the bond.
33% : While the nearly half-a-billion dollar bond purportedly presented a headache for Trump, he recently claimed to have $500 million in cash-on-hand, though indicated that these funds would be dedicated solely to his ongoing presidential campaign.
29% : In February, Trump was hit with a massive penalty after being found liable in a civil fraud suit brought against him and The Trump Organization by James and her office, which accused him of a long-term scheme to inflate his net worth and the worth of his assets in order to secure more favorable business loans.
