Former President Donald J. Trump faces a $454 million judgment in a civil fraud case and must secure a bond to prevent collection while he appeals. Failure to do so could result in seizure of his properties in New York. Trump's net worth is largely tied to real estate, and he does not have enough cash on hand to cover the judgment. Securing a bond is his best option, but it may be challenging due to the large amount and his polarizing nature.
