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.

Why not. My understanding is none of his businesses are profitable. His grifting is meant to be to pay back debts. None of his actions have ever spelled out liquid rich person. Lawyers and others now want to be paid in advance as he is known to not pay debts.

Liquid rich person - "Drink the rich!"

Isn't that the tape the Kremlin is supposed to have?

The pee tape, if it exists, will be the mildest Trump scandal compared to all the other stuff.

Yup, Trump got caught advocating and boasting about sexual assault and people still supported him. Trump's supporters wouldn't even care and hand wave it away with "He peed on Obama's bed. Fuck that guy."

You're giving him too much credit in assuming he pays his debts.

Most of his estate is in real estate in Manhattan and Las Vegas. So yeah, not at all liquid rich.
