Donald Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Fox News’ coverage of his impending debt of $454 million, plus interest, due on Monday. Although he didn’t specify the particular show, Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday afternoon to assert that the debt should amount to “$ZERO.”
In his post, Trump criticized Fox News for its handling of the Letitia James Election Interference Scam, as he termed it, and accused them of neglecting to address what he deemed the absurdity of the Judge’s $450 million fine.
He claimed that the valuation of Mar-a-Lago at $18 million by the Judge was fraudulent and aimed at bolstering a narrative that had already been debunked. Trump demanded damages for what he perceived as wrongful actions, stating, “THESE ARE NOT THE PEOPLE THAT MADE AMERICA GREAT, THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE DESTROYING AMERICA!”
While it remained unclear how much of Trump’s frustration was directed at Fox News specifically, he appeared to hold grievances against both the network and the Judge, as well as New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Eric Trump, the former President’s son, echoed similar sentiments during his appearance on “Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Baritiromo,” alleging that individuals had laughed at his request for a half-billion dollar bond. He reiterated the family’s belief that Mar-a-Lago had been undervalued in the New York case.
Trump continued to assert the undervaluation of Mar-a-Lago early Sunday morning on Truth Social, branding the Judge as incompetent and corrupt.
Fox News shared a clip online featuring reactions from members of Congress across party lines regarding the potential seizure of Trump’s assets.
Despite his concerns about the looming debt, Trump planned to spend Sunday night at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, where he anticipated receiving two club championship trophies. He boasted about his victories and praised the club’s membership and course.
Should Trump fail to secure a bond to pay the penalty, various assets, including homes, helicopters, buildings, and his plane, could be subject to seizure. It’s likely that Attorney General James will instruct New York banks to freeze Trump’s accounts before initiating property seizures, experts have suggested.
The process of seizing properties, particularly in New York, involves several steps, including the issuance of an execution order, posting notices, and public auctions. Seizing properties in other states would present additional complexities, according to CNN reports.
