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.
Honestly I don’t believe for a second that he actually has the money. I just don’t think he can handle people (HIS people) knowing that he’s flat fucking broke and at the end of his rope.
Monday we’ll find out if Schrodinger’s cash was in the box or not.
One story I heard was that his lawyers have to come into the room in pairs, because he’ll tell one lawyer Story A and the other one Story B.
He doesn’t lie like an adult; he lies like a child.
I’ve read he legit does have a bit over $500M liquid, but if he touches more than $450M of what remains, loans will automatically start getting called in.
Loans he can’t pay if he only has $50M liquid left.
I very much doubt anyone other than his personal accountants know the answer to this.
That is chef’s kiss perfect 🤌
He’s not broke. TruthSocial is about to go public via SPAC and make him about $3.3B. Company will trade under ticker DJT.

This is all a nice distraction to rile his base.
I don’t have that kind of money to risk, but this seems like a great opportunity to short a stock.
Not sure who was making that value projection, but if it was a trump-involved party, you can definitely count on that being over inflated bullshit.
We all need to stop regurgitating trump headlines/talking points verbatim without attempting to add some context.
Yeah honestly it’s hard to believe it could be worth that much.
If he died it would become worthless.
What a dumb investment.
He gets shares, which they value at that price now. It’s not a successful social media network. The price may drop once floated. He can’t touch the shares for 6 months. Without being propped up, it may be dead by then, although depending on launch, it may still be viable at that point as the election will still be ongoing. However, if he crashes and burns (jail, insovlency) before then, it could also crash and burn. He’s still in his Icarus phase.
S no, he doesn’t have 3 billion lying around. We also don’t know his debts, which may also be billions.
DJT’s public offering needs to be pushed out past the first or second week of May in order to screw Donnie over. He can’t cash out any shares for six months, or use those shares as collateral for six months either.
If he loses in November, that stick becomes worthless.
He said it, so it can only be one of two things:
In this case, option 1 seems most plausible.
