Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : "We will abide by the decision of the Appellate Division, post either a bond, equivalent securities, or cash," wrote Trump on Truth Social.
42% : Right as New York Attorney General Letitia James seemed to be gearing up to seize the former president's assets, an appeals court ruled late Monday morning that Trump has 10 more days to secure a bond worth only $175 million -- less than 40 percent of his $454 million fine.

24% : "Following a long and dramatic hearing to air out misconduct allegations against Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, Judge Scott McAfee ruled that Willis could remain on her election interference case, which charges Trump and 14 others with engaging in a criminal enterprise to keep the former president in power.
