Trump Got His $175 Million Bond. Now What?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : According to a court filing, Trump secured a bond for $175 million from Knight Specialty Insurance Company, a firm chartered in Delaware that specializes in surety bonds and other forms of insurance.
47% : Now that a fan has come to his rescue, where does that leave Trump?
45% : Trump, however, would have had to put up at least the $175 million in cash to secure the bond.
41% : Estimates suggest Trump had $350 million in cash and liquid assets as of late last year, meaning Trump is left with a ballpark figure of $80 million -- or possibly less, depending on the terms of the bond deals.
34% : So even if the Republican National Committee is committed to paying its candidate's legal fees in the four upcoming criminal cases, things are going to be a little tight for Trump this year.
28% : As the New York Times notes, the bond is "a legal document, not an actual transfer of money," that vows to cover the $175 million sum if Trump loses the appeal and fails to pay.
23% : Combine that with the $91.6 million bond Trump put up to appeal the E. Jean Carroll defamation verdict, and Trump is now out of $267 million as the long appeals process unfurls in the two cases.
