Donald Trump has no idea how to post bond in the fraud trial—and he’s absolutely losing it.

In just shy of a week, Donald Trump’s $454 million judgment from his New York bank fraud trial will become collectible, either by way of liquid cash or financial assets—and it has officially sent Trump into meltdown mode.

The notoriously sleep-deprived GOP presidential nominee spent the better part of Monday night shouting into the void about the massive, half-billion-dollar judgment and his apparent inability to pay it off, bemoaning being required to follow the law before being allowed to appeal the case.

“I would be forced to mortgage or sell Great Assets, perhaps at Fire Sale prices, and if and when I win the Appeal, they would be gone. Does that make sense? WITCH HUNT. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!” Trump posted Tuesday morning.

“I shouldn’t have to put up any money, being forced by the Corrupt Judge and AG, until the end of the appeal. That’s the way system works!” he added, forgetting that he’s being held to the same standards as every private citizen.

    On the other side, what if some shady entity comes in and bids $500 million for something valued at $1 million so that Trump doesn’t have to sell all his shit, but then the shady entity will have Trump in their pocket as well?

      So this other side you speak of is different from how it currently is? Trump sold many properties to Russian nationals at inflated prices. That was why he’s already in their pockets. Nothing will change, he’s already in so many people’s pockets.

      If that were the case, Trump would be able find someone he could use the asset as collateral for bond instead. Just like Chubb’s deal for the other judgment.

        Honestly in a world of AI video generators, there’s no better time to be blackmailed by video.
