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.
“The only FRAUD in the Peekaboo James case, our failed and disgusting New York State Attorney General, was her convincing ‘Judge’ Arthur Engoron to put a value on Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida, of just $18,000,000, when it is worth 50 to 100 times that amount. This was fraudulently and illegally done, working closely together in a corrupt Communist system, to set their NARRATIVE after learning that their Values and Facts were completely wrong,” Trump posted,
100 times would be 1.8 billion dollars...
4 years ago it was worth a little over half a billion when he talked to banks, and 18 to 27 million when he paid taxes.
Judge Engoron already determined in a summary judgment that Trump overvalued Mar-a-Lago by "at least 2,300%" by valuing the club between $426 and $612 million in his financial statements, despite the Palm Beach county assessor appraising the value between $18 and $27.6 million between 2011 and 2021. The documents entered into evidence today, as well as testimony from former Trump Organization VP Raymond Flores, adds context regarding who at the Trump Organization could have been aware of the discrepancy.
When Trump gets really desperate he usually commits a bunch of crimes. I wonder what’s going to happen in the next week, and what we’ll hear about a couple months from now, and how the trial will go in 2032.
Of course he cries election interference, but just a reminder that Donald Trump could have taken a few years off of campaigning to spend time to properly defend himself in court and then run again when it was over. That was always allowed. But we all know why he insists on running right now despite the mountain of felony indictments against him. He knows he is going to lose every court case because he's guilty as fuck and wants to use the office of president to wash away these crimes he committed with a self-pardon.
The very fact that he can't post bond is proof that he is at the end of his rope. Time to pay back all the money you defrauded the people of New York, Crooked Don.
Poor guy, I feel really bad for him. Sure hope nothing else happens to ruin him. It'd be really bad if he was forced to go to jail too. On the bright side, at least he'd match the jumpsuit. Maybe he could write a script about his poor, difficult life and call it "The Color Orange."
The sad news is that this is relatively sane compared to the water-defeats-magnets or the they’ll-rename-Pennsylvania-if-you-don’t-vote-for-me rants, just in the last couple of weeks.
His loss of great sums of money has likely sharpened his demented dysphasia temporarily.
Not that Oklahoma or South Carolina will not vote all out for him. Reality isn’t relevant to them.
I'm a little worried this is going to galvanize his base, but it is still deeply satisfying to watch his life collapse around him, especially knowing that the criminal trials haven't even started yet.
He should borrow vast amounts of money from his loyal supporters: "Empty your lifetime savings accounts, I promise I'll pay everything back with interests!".
Then we'll see how much his followers really trust him when they need to put their own future on the line...
OMFG. YOU are being manipulated by headline and BS journalism. This is absolutely PATHETIC. Why? Is America only concerned with money as the money Trump owes is the LEAST of our concerns with him.
WTF is going on? I know. The masses buy this shit. Fools.
