Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : James said that Trump valued the building at $735.4 million in 2015.
47% : "And while there may be individual benefactors who'd want to pony up cash for Trump, such a transaction would potentially run afoul of the Federal Election Commission laws on donating to presidential candidates, said Mitchell Epner, a former federal prosecutor who works for the law firm Rottenberg Lipman Rich.
41% : The underwriters Trump has approached for his New York bond won't accept real estate as collateral -- they need cash, according to his lawyers.
40% : If Trump doesn't pony up the $500 million or so he needs to set aside, pending his appeal of last month's order against him for ill-gotten gains on his properties, New York Judge Arthur Engoron says Trump forfeits his right to appeal, and New York Attorney General Letitia James can start seizing Trump's properties and selling them to pay down what he owes.
40% : Judge Engoron found that Trump inflated the value of the building.
40% : Trump is trying to convince the appellate court that securing a bond in the full amount is "a practical impossibility."
30% : "I think to treat Trump differently here undercuts the entire judgment, which is that no one is above the law, including a former president," said Temidayo Aganga-Williams, a partner at law firm Selendy Gay.
29% : It's a bold request for leniency, given how Trump publicly disparaged the court during the civil fraud trial despite being fined and reprimanded by Judge Engoron.
26% : Banks, many of which have already said they won't do business with Trump, may have found his potential financial and criminal liabilities too risky to work with the former president.
16% : Trump faces dozens of expensive criminal counts and an $83 million civil judgment against him in a defamation case brought by E. Jean Carroll.
14% : Last month, Engoron found that Trump and his co-defendants, including his adult sons, fraudulently inflated the value of Trump's assets to obtain more favorable loan and insurance rates.
