    Sort of. The Supreme Court said you cannot be jailed for not being able to pay a fine, only for willingly not paying a fine that you can afford to pay. However, it is up to a judge’s discretion as to whether a person can afford a fine or not.

    In this case, Trump has a lot of properties he can sell to pay a fine.
