Trump is trying to keep the law enforced, but the judge signed off on the $355 million fraud sentence against the former president.

Judge Engoron has reached his limits. It seems that he has signed the sentence and now all that remains is to register it with the chancellor. pic.twitter.com/3IskgalMTj

Trump reportedly already owes another $100 million in interest on the judgment and if his stay is denied, he will begin owing interest that will grow by millions of dollars per day.
There is no indication that Donald Trump has the money to pay the sentence.
New York AG Letitia James has vowed to seize Donald Trump’s assets if he tries not to pay the state of New York. The doomsday clock for Donald Trump is creeping forward. Trump will have to make a lot of money available just to appeal.
Time is running out, as Donald Trump will soon need to come up with a lot of money very quickly as the fraud he has been found to have perpetuated for years is about to come crashing down on him like a ton of bricks.
