Trump said Engoron "openly and hostilely disrespects the decision of the appellate division, which ruled in my favor."
"Hopefully they will set the record straight — he has already been overturned four times on this case," Trump said. "A record.
But Trump vowed to fight the judgment through the court system.
"I’ll fight this all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary," Trump told Fox News Digital. "They can’t take away your property before you’ve had a chance to appeal the decision of a Trump-hating, incompetent judge who has been overturned more than any judge in the state."
Trump added: "The business community in New York is being devastated by this decision and businesses are fleeing New York — never to return, because they don’t want this to happen to them. In the meantime, violent crime is flourishing."
Trump’s comments come as a Monday deadline looms to post $454 million. If he does not, James has threatened to begin seizing Trump assets and properties.

There is a six-month lock-up on Trump's shares, but the board could vote to waive that rule.
Trump lawyers on Monday said that "ongoing diligent efforts have proven that a bond in the judgment’s full amount is a ‘practical impossibility,’" amid attempts to approach about 30 surety companies.
The lawyers said the "enormous magnitude" of the bond requirement, which effectively requires cash reserves approaching $1 billion, is "unprecedented for a private company."

James has pushed back, calling Trump’s request for a stay "extraordinary" and "improper." James has said that Trump should be able to secure the entire value via multiple sureties or offer his real estate holdings as collateral.
But Trump attorney Clifford S. Robert on Thursday sent a letter to the Appellate Division of New York’s Supreme Court, arguing James’ efforts are "unconstitutional."
