Cosplaying billionaire Donald J. Trump can not post his $464 million bond

He’s all caps posting several times this morning. Has he ever used his personal money for his campaign?

THROUGH HARD WORK, TALENT, AND LUCK, I CURRENTLY HAVE ALMOST FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN CASH, A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WHICH I INTENDED TO USE IN MY CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT. THE OFTEN OVERTURNED POLITICAL HACK JUDGE ON THE RIGGED AND CORRUPT A.G. CASE, WHERE I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG, KNEW THIS, WANTED TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM ME, AND THAT’S WHERE AND WHY HE CAME UP WITH THE SHOCKING NUMBER WHICH, COUPLED WITH HIS CRAZY INTEREST DEMAND, IS APPROXIMATELY $454,000,000. I DID NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT WIN AN ELECTION IN 2016 THAT I WASN’T EXPECTED TO WIN, DID EVEN BETTER IN 2020, AND NOW LEAD, BY A LOT, IN 2024.THIS IS COMMUNISM IN AMERICA!

The joint fundraising agreement that Donald Trump has inked with the Republican National Committee and state parties first sends donors’ money to his campaign committee and then to the leadership PAC that pays his legal bills before the national party gets its share, an invitation to an upcoming fundraiser shows.

No.

But, on the positive side, the Trump family leech has just attached itself to an the RNC artery. Here’s to Trump spending all the GOP’s money on himself and still losing.

With no proof what so ever, I would assume he has, on paper at least. As in, I’m willing to assume on paper he has loaned the campaign money used to spend on his own businesses and then paid himself back for that loan. At a mark up for the spending well beyond what it costs.

Mark up a service 25% beyond the cost and charge the campaign. Campaign borrows the money from him to pay it, then the campaign pays him back.

That’s not really spending his own money on the campaign since it’s only temporary, but that’s what they would call it.

Seems like a great way to turn campaign contributions into personal money instead. Probably even legal if the mark up isn’t egregious.

His lawyers quickly put out a statement after he made that post about having 500 million.

Nah ah, he does not have 500 million.

Ah, no one-box.

Basically, it explains that even if he manages to make this merger happen, he wouldn’t be able to cash out for at least 6 months, by which time it woulldn’t be worth anywhere near what he would need to cover his bond anyway.

The reporter I heard covering it (the 6 month thing) this morning said something along the lines of, “but, it’s Trump, so you never know…”
Kind of admitting that he is not beholden to the same rules, even the ones he signs as part of an agreement, as the rest of us.
It annoyed me how very flippant the reporter was about it.

But he said it in ALL CAPS!

I wonder if it’s easier to seize cash than real estate.

Of course real estate is probably easier than imaginary cash.

Check Ivana’s coffin.

I’m not sure this is the best approach to getting the court to treat him favorably.

Arthur Engoron is a Rogue Judge who was intimidated by the big, nasty, and ugly mouth of Leticia James, considered by many to be the WORST Attorney General in the U.S. She is a Low IQ individual who campaigned for Governor, using my name, and got TROUNCED. She and her PUPPET Engoron, who valued Mar-a-Lago at $18,000,000 when it is worth 50 to 100 times that amount, have destroyed all business prospects for New York State, that is already dying, or dead. But have no fear —When I become the 47th President, we will MAKE NEW YORK GREAT AGAIN!

No Donnie, only the prospects of businesses that engage in fraud.

That could be a non-trivial percentage, though.
