Donald Trump using bail bondsman rings alarm bells about his finances
newsweek.com

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.

Is he poor? Maybe. The question is why is he poor? He just sold Mar-a-lago to a company owned by Don Jr., alledgedly for something over $400 million.

He might be poor because he's hiding all his assets on offshore banks. If so, then the question becomes: why is he doing that?

Man, I really hope he runs. Just to see Republican faces when he abandons them and maybe a few finally realize they were conned.

Jfc. Where have you've been? THEY WILL NEVER TURN ON HIM.

The top dogs all know. They have tried multiple times to push him aside. Propping up desantis, having rules for the debates that are targeted at trump etc. It doesn't work and they are happy to use him when it suits them. The question is will it blow up in their faces to personally damage them or just the party and they will take their I'll gotten gains and slink away.

A few, maybe. But I worry that anyone who's still on the Trump train at this point may be on it for life. They'll rationalize that he was forced out of the country by a crooked liberal conspiracy.

I'm guessing he's worried about his assets being seized once his involvement with criminal money laundering for Russian mobsters comes to light. And emoluments. And using his position as an elected official to enrich himself by having the secret service stay at his properties paying exorbitant amounts above market value. And so on.

That one crime is that one that might get him executed, so at least he prioritizes risks to himself
