Donald Trump is close to the deadline to post bond in his fraud trial—and he’s screwing himself over even more.

After having reached out to several guarantors and 30 suretors for help posting his $464 million New York bank fraud bond, Donald Trump suddenly wants everyone to know he actually does have the cash.

In a bizarre rant on Friday morning, the man who was found to have defrauded banks and investors by overvaluing himself and the value of his properties claimed that he had accrued the wealth by way of “HARD WORK, TALENT, AND LUCK.”

Trump also admitted he has nearly half a billion dollars in cash.

The confession directly contradicts a filing from his legal team last month arguing that it would be “impossible” to secure a bond covering the full amount of the multimillion-dollar ruling.

Trump’s words will surely help out New York Attorney General Letitia James, who on Wednesday urged an appeals court to ignore Donald Trump’s latest effort to worm his way out of paying the $464 million disgorgement from his bank fraud trial.

    How long until they just admit that he’s senile, but still tell people to vote for him to be the president?

      Isn’t that what they’re doing with Biden? If Dems lose this race it’s because they shot themselves in the foot at the start.

        Except Biden isn’t senile, he’s just old. And anybody trying to compare his mental state to Trump’s based solely on what we can plainly see on camera, is doing so in bad faith. That’s not counting what the actual transcript of the Special Counsel investigation said, that he has a seemingly photographic memory.

          Their comment wasn’t a comparison to Biden but a comparison to the DNC pushing Biden.

          No one is happy about how old EITHER of them are.

            The were comparing mental state. One is past their prime, one lives in a different reality and has multiple psychological and neurological issues.

            A better candidate than Biden would be good. It would be hard to find a worse candidate than trump if you tried.
