The younger Trump told Maria Bartiromo that securing a bond for Donald Trump ahead of Monday’s deadline has been a challenge

LESS THAN A day before Donald Trump‘s deadline to post a $464 million bond or risk his assets getting seized by the New York State Attorney General’s Office, his children are going to the media to complain about the cash squeeze.

Trump’s younger son Eric Trump opined about the ordeal during an appearance on Sunday Morning Futures, saying that he was present during the negotiations with dozens of sureties to secure the bond, only for all of them to reject Trump. 

“Every single person when I came to them saying, ‘Hey, can I get a half-billion dollar bond?’” the younger Trump brother told Fox host Maria Bartiromo, “Maria: they were laughing. They were laughing.”

Everyone is laughing at Don Poorleone

That's even better than 'Cadet Bonespurs!"

I'm partial to "Orange Julius" myself, but now that I'm thinking about it, even abstractly comparing him to Caeser ascribes him undeserved competency.

I've heard "Cheeto Mussolini" but not "Orange Julius." Thanks for the information

As name calling is such a poor facsimile for policy and civil rhetoric I would never call him something like Cheeto Mussolini or Putin's Fluffer

I heard him called "Pervert Hoover" over the weekend.
