As I’ve been trying to relate, former president Donald Trump’s financial peril is real. That has now become unmistakably obvious.

Trump’s legal team has asked the Appellate Division-First Department to accept a $100 million bond for the purposes of enabling him to appeal the civil-fraud judgment against him and of stopping New York attorney general Letitia James from beginning to execute that judgment — i.e., to start seizing his property if he can’t pay up in cash.
