    “What, they’re going to start seizing assets if he can’t put up something that’s not available in the United States?”

      Wait. Hasn’t he a gofoundme going? If he is bragging about having the money already, what does he need the donations for. 🤔

      But what do i know… I’m just a dumb European and the conservative Americans are so much smarter then me. They’ll def are correct in further donating for Don Poorleon. 👍

        • He claims he has half a billion in liquid cash.
        • He has a donate to his legal expense portal.
        • He’s attempting to borrow from anyone dumb enough to lend to him.
        • He’s using the RNC as a personal piggy bank.

        Some of these may overlap. And borrowing to pay expenses while using the interest as a tax deduction is a long utilized tool of the rich. But his real assets are intended to act as collateral on these loans.

        With outstanding loan debt, judgments that can seize his assets, and mounting other leaks in his financing, this is his margin call on all the bad bets he’s made. Including betting on himself.

        He thinks that simply having his name on something means it’s his to do as he please. But when the government and the banks start calling, it’s his ass.

    No, Eric, they want to avoid losing $454,000,000.00.

    Edit: almost have him an excuse to save money.

    This is their big play? It doesn’t need to be one bond. I read that those companies have a $100 million limit on bonds. Trump needs to put up several bonds. Or just use his yuge pile of cash he says he has. Or hell, double down on the lies and lose his holdings.

      It’s Eric trump…

      He probably legitimately doesn’t know that, and the phone calls probably only get to:

      Who is this?

      Iiiiiiiit’s Errrrrric!

      Pretty sure James also already made it known he can post some of his properties directly to the court as collateral, skipping a 3rd party bond agency, but sounds like he wouldn’t be able to do that if he has liens against them all, which he probably does.

    don’t worry, a judge just ruled that Don is a special boy and doesn’t have to follow the same laws as everyone else so he doesn’t need to put up the whole bond.

        He’s God’s Most Special Guy, so he gets yet another exception to the law. Courts have ruled that he has to put up less than half of what would be required of anyone else.
