"$200k bond for Trump—significant and something of an indignity that he has to post something," former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Harry Litman said.
In this case, I don’t think it’s a matter of “so he’ll show up in court” as opposed to “so he’ll stop shitposting”. Which he won’t. My wild-ass guess is that the sequence will be Trump violates bond conditions–>original bond is forfeited and new bond is set at a much higher amount, say $1,000,000–>Trump violates second bond—>bond revoked, Trump remanded into custody.
