"Why did Trump need a bail bondsman if he's a billionaire?" some asked on social media.
Donald Trump reportedly used a bail bondsman after being arrested at Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday, paying $20,000 of his bond set at $200,000 and taking out a loan for the rest of it. The fact that the former president resorted to such a measure has sparked questions on social media about the state of his finances.
The top dogs all know. They have tried multiple times to push him aside. Propping up desantis, having rules for the debates that are targeted at trump etc. It doesn't work and they are happy to use him when it suits them. The question is will it blow up in their faces to personally damage them or just the party and they will take their I'll gotten gains and slink away.
A few, maybe. But I worry that anyone who's still on the Trump train at this point may be on it for life. They'll rationalize that he was forced out of the country by a crooked liberal conspiracy.
I'm guessing he's worried about his assets being seized once his involvement with criminal money laundering for Russian mobsters comes to light. And emoluments. And using his position as an elected official to enrich himself by having the secret service stay at his properties paying exorbitant amounts above market value. And so on.
