Think this was because of the bait by the Biden team calling him broke?

Or does he actually have it, suddenly, and the state auditor is surprised at this couch money, in foreign denominations?

Or, he is double-dog-daring the DA to find out where the cash is and take it, and since he says it is "intended to fund his campaign", he will then double down on the lie that it is all ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!!1!11!!1!one!

The DA will be pre-disposed to seize cash, since it's value is not subject to appraisal.

In the article, it quotes him and it's exactly what he's doing

"Through hard work, talent, and luck, I currently have almost five hundred million dollars in cash, a substantial amount of which I intended to use in my campaign for president," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social in all caps. "The often overturned political hack judge on the rigged and corrupt A.G. case, where I have done nothing wrong, knew this, wanted to take it away from me, and that’s where and why he came up with the shocking number which, coupled with his crazy interest demand, is approximately $454,000,000."

Yep. What's weird is there are multiple posts/comments on Reddit where people are saying Trump is going to spend the money on his campaign while continuing to say he doesn't have the money for the judgement. I don't understand that. How do some people just not see right through Trump's bs?

EVERYONE sees through the bullshit

Group 1 is MAGA and lying is fun to them. Truth is meaningless and the cruelty is the point. Trump could say "sike I lied" tomorrow and they would not care one single bit.

Group 2 is the rest of the GOP, too scared to say anything and with no incentive to do so anyway.

Group 3 is "enlightened centrists" aka "why should I care about the rise of fascism for I am not a Jew".

Group 4 is dems too scared to say literally anything because it might scare away swing voters or rile up Trump's base. I guess focus groups have shown it's more effective to let him dig his own grave and look like a bumbling fool than intervene and fight him on his truthless turf?

Group 5 is us, shouting into the void.

Except it’s not up to the DA to find the cash. Come the 25th. He either hands it over or they’re going after whatever they can get their hands on the easiest.

They aren't going to go looking. They're going to take whatever is in plain sight.

Biden is out fundraising him, too. This is Trump's
'one stone, two birds' attempt. "I'm not broke!! And I have way, way more fundraising success than you!"

He is melting down like an ice cream cone in South Louisiana in August.
