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.
It seems like bad precedent for a judge to sue a participant in the trial for what they’re saying about the trial.
He could hold Trump in contempt, but I think he doesn’t see the reason to bother with it, since he’s already engaged in fucking Trump’s world up pretty significantly.
Plus, if he did sue for libel, how would he ever get paid? It’s like a never ending cycle.
LOL 😄
It’s hardly even about getting paid at this point, I just want to see them rack up the high score. Left to his own devices I’m very confident that Trump can increase his own punitive damages beyond the actual GDP of the US.
