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.

    That’s how he got so rich, spending the bare minimum amount of money he can on anything in any situation.

      It was actually from having hundreds of million dollars handed to him by his father, but sure, ripping people off and being stingy hasn’t hurt. Being good at business would have been a good move though.

          The only way he is smart is when it comes to grifting. He can grift the shit out of people.

        Okay, so he isn’t capable of being good at business. Would you settle for a book claiming he is good at business?

      Using a bail bondsman is the exact opposite of spending the bare minimum. It’s basically the equivalent of taking out a payday loan at a check cashing store.
