Donald Trump is close to the deadline to post bond in his fraud trial—and he’s screwing himself over even more.
After having reached out to several guarantors and 30 suretors for help posting his $464 million New York bank fraud bond, Donald Trump suddenly wants everyone to know he actually does have the cash.
In a bizarre rant on Friday morning, the man who was found to have defrauded banks and investors by overvaluing himself and the value of his properties claimed that he had accrued the wealth by way of “HARD WORK, TALENT, AND LUCK.”
Trump also admitted he has nearly half a billion dollars in cash.
The confession directly contradicts a filing from his legal team last month arguing that it would be “impossible” to secure a bond covering the full amount of the multimillion-dollar ruling.
Trump’s words will surely help out New York Attorney General Letitia James, who on Wednesday urged an appeals court to ignore Donald Trump’s latest effort to worm his way out of paying the $464 million disgorgement from his bank fraud trial.
I mean, yeah, he “admitted” it… but knowing how much of a pathological liar he is, it’s also possible that he just wanted to look “successful” to his captive rubes.
Either way, he is absolutely creating real and serious problems for himself by saying that. And I love that for him.
If his sheep believe it maybe they’ll stop giving him money though. Bonus.
The best scenario is conservatives keep giving him their money, and he loses
He’s already going to bankrupt the rnc. This is a bonus
That unfortunately could go wrong in several ways I assume.
Number one worries me, our chickens are certainly coming home to roost here.
Well that’s just about satisfaction maybe haha.
I mean, he said on day 1, after descending his golden escalator, he was funding everything himself, and they’ve been paying him every day since. I’m not sure why they’d stop now.
Not actually a legal case though.
He admitted it just like he claimed he was a billionaire. It doesn’t make it true. The question when he makes statements like this needs to be, “Is it true?” followed by, “To what degree does he believe his own lie?” because at some point, we step into the realm of severe mental illness and delusions of grandeur. Everything else is just posturing to save face for his idiot voter base.
I have the money! (all of the sudden)
I just need time to convert it from Rubles to dollars!
“Sure I’ve got the money! Everybody knows I’ve got the money! Crooked Joe Biden knows I’ve got the money, but I’ll say to you what I’d say to him and his fake, crony judges! You’re not getting a red cent from me or America! In fact, when November rolls around and we take back what was STOLEN from us, it’ll be Dirty Joe and his goons who’ll be the ones to pay!”
*Cue cheering in moron ad nauseum*
Yes, one could argue that he is still keeping up with the fraud scheme he was just sentenced for. Could he be charged again?
