"Trump's Legal Battles: The $500 Million Financial Setback"

TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump faces legal obligations exceeding $500m after a civil fraud trial defeat, with questions arising about his ability to pay. Trump remains defiant, vowing to win an appeal against the ruling. His legal debts, including interest, are estimated at about $542m. Speculation arises about using campaign cash from the Republican National Committee to pay off some of the debt. Trump's net worth is estimated at $2.3bn, but it's unclear how much cash he has on hand. The ruling also makes it difficult for any family member to run the Trump Organization in the near future.
