Donald Trump has no idea how to post bond in the fraud trial—and he’s absolutely losing it.
In just shy of a week, Donald Trump’s $454 million judgment from his New York bank fraud trial will become collectible, either by way of liquid cash or financial assets—and it has officially sent Trump into meltdown mode.
The notoriously sleep-deprived GOP presidential nominee spent the better part of Monday night shouting into the void about the massive, half-billion-dollar judgment and his apparent inability to pay it off, bemoaning being required to follow the law before being allowed to appeal the case.
“I would be forced to mortgage or sell Great Assets, perhaps at Fire Sale prices, and if and when I win the Appeal, they would be gone. Does that make sense? WITCH HUNT. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!” Trump posted Tuesday morning.
“I shouldn’t have to put up any money, being forced by the Corrupt Judge and AG, until the end of the appeal. That’s the way system works!” he added, forgetting that he’s being held to the same standards as every private citizen.
So when does he go to jail for failing to pay millions? Why should I pay anything I owe?
Because you don’t have enough money to juggle several cases and appeal to prolong them until after you die.
It was rhetorical. But, apparently neither does he.
Nah but he’s crowdfunded by rubes who think they’re doing the right thing after years of indoctrination and manipulation.
They literally don’t have enough. There’s a gofundme but the small donors are donating like $100 max and the big ones know it’s a bad investment.
Not only are small donors drying up and big donors backing off, but what does trickle in is taking away from his campaign. Even in 2016, he was still dependent on donations to fund his campaign. He didn’t have enough back then to self-fund his campaign, and he certainly doesn’t now.
Harder to energize the base without being able to rent venues for rallies. Can’t get enough votes from centrists to put him over the top (even with the electoral college) if he can’t buy ads.
I’m not sure, “bring back debtors prisons,” is the takeaway here.
I think we can make an exception.
