A Midtown Makeover? Trump Tower Minus Trump
It is distressing that former President Donald Trump, a self-proclaimed billionaire, can’t find anybody to post a bond for him (“Trump’s $454M plan: zilch,” March 20).
There are two obvious reasons. The first is that he is not as rich as he claims to be. The second is that everybody knows that Trump will not win his appeal and the bond will not be repaid. Alan Podhaizer

Dollars to doughnuts, Attorney General Letitia James already knows which penthouse office she’ll be putting her nameplate on. The Dems are salivating over their potential new acquisition: Trump Tower.
The political arena has effectively turned into “Game of Thrones.” It is so disheartening. Luckily Trump is savvier than an entire tower’s worth of Democrats. He’ll find a way out of this. Donna Skjeveland

Letitia James is bound to fulfill her longtime pledge to bring down Trump.
She initiated legal action against him and now that he has been found guilty, she seeks to bankrupt Trump by taking his buildings.
Is there no end to the nefarious actions taken against this man? This is clearly a political move to ruin Trump’s campaign for the presidency and destroy him financially. David Shapiro

The article suggesting
Trump would allow officials to seize Trump Tower is an interesting twist, one I believe will blow up in James’ face (“His towers may tumble,” March 19).
Seizing the building is an expensive prospect. Trump would pull all his personnel and leave it to the state to run things.
James is grinning like the Cheshire Cat and has no clue Trump Tower would be a huge problem for her. I look forward to watching this play out. James Barends

Trump has always preferred to live off someone else’s money.
In 2023 he spent more than $55 million of donors’ cash on his legal bills. That money came from Super PACs.
If you’ve donated to his campaign, your money was used to pay lawyers. Once again, Trump is gaming the system at our expense. Mike Barrett
