I disagree though, age should not be a limiting factor.

Capability should though, and Biden is clearly incapable.
Sorry Pierre, I disagree. I can see the need for a lower limit (experience) but cannot see why no upper limit.

His ego and his mouth getting him into trouble again.

but it's a rediculous figure, that he was probably never expected to achieve and a rediculous malicious case that's been brought against him.

OK, we disagree then.

If he can't raise the money, then will he have to spend some time behind bars?

Glad to see we disagree. Looks like Trumps money pit has closed, wonder why he just doesn't ask Putin for the money. Or is that just another conspiracy theoery?

"The presumptive @GOP nominee for President is desperate for $464M (and counting) which he cannot personally access," Casten posted on X. "That fact alone makes him a massive national security risk; any foreign adversary seeking to buy a President knows the price."

Why are you not in favour of an upper limit? Particularly as you believe that at least one elderly US politician is suffering from cognitive issues.

I agree, your ability should be a factor, not your age.

Would that work in the US? We saw what Trump's doctor said about him! There would be litigation after litigation.

An age cut-off would be a clean way of managing things.

The 25th amendment covers it,…somewhat. But is not specific.

Yup, doesn't cut the mustard. Age does. A few snowflakes may complain it's unfair but it actually works.

we appreciate the fact that the Trump campaign did issue a statement, and they said that they will not use RNC funds to pay any of President Trump's legal bills.

Donald Trump’s new joint fundraising agreement with the Republican National Committee directs donations to his campaign and a political action committee that pays the former president’s legal bills before the RNC gets a cut, according to a fundraising invitation obtained by The Associated Press.

The unorthodox diversion of funds to the Save America PAC makes it more likely that Republican donors could see their money go to Trump’s lawyers, who have received at least $76 million over the last two years to defend him against four felony indictments and multiple civil cases. Some Republicans are already troubled that Trump’s takeover of the RNC could shortchange the cash-strapped party.

Trump has invited high-dollar donors to Palm Beach, Florida, for an April 6 fundraiser that comes as his fundraising is well behind President Joe Biden and national Democrats. The invitation’s fine print says donations to the Trump 47 Committee will first be used to give the maximum amount allowed under federal law to Trump’s campaign. Anything left over from the donation next goes toward a maximum contribution to Save America, and then anything left from there goes to the RNC and then to state political parties.

Quote:
An appeals court panel said Monday that former president Donald Trump would be allowed to post a $175 million bond to stave off enforcement of a nearly half-billion dollar civil judgement against him and his business.

The order on Monday morning was a significant win for Trump, who was otherwise facing a massive cash crunch and the prospect of New York Attorney General Letitia James seizing some of his assets as soon as this week.

The appeals panel gave Trump 10 days to come up with the reduced bond of $175 million.

Looks like the first Criminal trial could be underway on the 15th April 2024.

https://wapo.st/495PA8t

Quote:
New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan said Donald Trump’s hush money criminal trial would begin April 15, rejecting calls from Trump’s legal team to delay the case.

Trump’s lawyers had argued that a late release of more than 100,000 pages of potential evidence should postpone the trial significantly, and they asked that the prosecutors be sanctioned. Merchan, raising his voice at times, admonished Trump’s attorneys for making what he called very serious allegations without legal backup. He also questioned why the defense did not seek the records from federal officials sooner.

A deliberately unpayable bond.

everyone can see it, and they're just making the public sympathise with Trump.

Canadian Millionaire Business man, Kevin O'Leary, from the US version of Dragons Den, who is not a Trump supporter as far as I can tell, is saying it looks bad on America and New York.

That is the Trump supporter line but fraud is a real crime. If you lied to a bank to get a lower mortgage rate you could be done as well. Mortgage fraud is a thing here as well.

Well when I ask the bank for a secured loan or mortgage, the bank looks at the property or item I’m securing the loan against and makes decision on whether their loan is secure or not.

If I went to Barclays and asked for a £550,000 mortgage to buy a 2up 2down mid-terrace house in Huddersfield, I’m pretty sure that would be looked into further.
