Donald Trump using bail bondsman rings alarm bells about his finances

Donald Trump reportedly used a bail bondsman after being arrested at Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday, paying $20,000 of his bond set at $200,000 and taking out a loan for the rest of it. The fact that the former president resorted to such a measure has sparked questions on social media about the state of his finances.

A bail bondsman has more legal options for going after someone than any other type of loan officer, including the use of bounty hunters.

Imagine working as a bounty hunter going after a US President.

*FORMER US President.

4 times indicted former US president**.

**This has only ever been known to happen once in the history of the country

Sounds like a movie, but I wouldn’t want to be the bounty hunter tasked with going up against the Secret Service! Though this does raise questions about the Secrets Service’s responsibility to protect against legally sanctioned law enforcement (of sorts).

As long as the SS keeps him alive, they are doing their job. Unfortunately, I suspect that the dudes that are surrounding Trump might take that to the extreme.

Wanna bet the bondsman is his supporter and won't even mind losing the money? It is a goddamn cult.

I mean first off you're going to have to fight the secret service right?

Sure, but this is a pretty unprecedented situation... I doubt there are many bounty hunters who know how to deal with a secret service detail, for instance
