Donald Trump STILL doesn’t have the money
At the beginning of this week the New York appeals court cut Donald Trump’s bond by more than half in his fraud case, and gave him ten additional days to come up with it. This was a rare victory for Trump, but only a partial one. After all, the verdict still remained at its original dollar amount, and it was still unclear whether Trump would be able to come up with the reduced bond.
Sure enough, here we are nearly at the end of the week, and Trump still hasn’t posted bond. He still has about a week to go, so it’s entirely possible it’ll happen. But this proves that Trump doesn’t even have $175 million readily available, nor has he so far been able to convince any bond companies to fork over $175 million.
Again, Trump may or may not end up posting the bond by the deadline. We’ll see. But it’s hilarious that even after it was cut by more than half, he still hasn’t been able to come up with it yet. Whatever wealthy is, Trump is the opposite of that.
