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
I still prefer Pyrite Princess. It perfectly embodies how only morons think he’s gold.
That’s a new one to me! Nice!
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
Cheeto Mussolini?!? Cheeto Benito surely.
Much better
I heard him called “Pervert Hoover” over the weekend.
“They’re laughing! My father is an incompetent criminal, and they’re laughing!”
I’m laughing, too.
Don Sr. just said that he had the cash on hand. Really, he did!
I so miss the lies of George W. Bush. When Bush lied, it was a lie made with Old World craftsmanship. There would be documents, eyewitness accounts, and an appendix loaded with actual references.
When people lie to me, I really prefer if they put some effort into it. I find a half-assed lie to be inexcusably insulting.
The lie won’t bother me, but the implication that I’m stupid enough to belief anything will piss me off.
There’s an old cartoon.
Man and woman. Guy is wearing white tie and tails and a top hat; the wife is in a house dress.
Woman “Don’t give me that going bowling with the guys from work crap!”
The lies of previous presidents could be considered politics at the end of the day. This mf’er just fuckin lies, like a child…
Oh, Eric. They weren’t laughing with you, sweetie…
It’s been reduced and extended. We’ve been fucked in the ass and lied to yet again.
When EXACTLY is the deadline? There’s probably hundreds if not thousands of recent articles about it being today, but so far I’ve been unable to find a single one that mentions WHEN today! Is that part a secret? One of the great unknowables of the universe?
We need a countdown to gloating o’clock, dammit! 😛
According to CBS, an appeals court reduced the bond to 175 million and extended the deadline by 10 days
Fucking hell! It’s going to be reduced to a thousand dollars and extended past November, isn’t it? 😮💨
Mar-A-Largo? A billion dollars? F*ck me sideways, that’s hilarious!
Everyone can see this house of cards is about to get a full blown golden shower and we’re all here eating popcorn laughing our fucking asses off. Y’all are getting what ya deserve
I read in another thread that lenders have an upper limit, around $100M. So #45 could easily use the $500M he claims to have to secure several loans, under that $100M limit to reach the $464M he owes. It’s Monday, let’s see how the spectacle continues.
Or just fork over the 500 mil he supposedly has.
Though it’s been reduced to something under 200 mil so that’s even easier for him. If he doesn’t post it we know that he’s actually a broke bitch.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
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.
“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.
Trump needs to secure the $464 million bond to appeal the ruling in the New York State case where the Trump Organization was convicted of inflating property values and lying about assets to receive loans and reduce taxes.
Trump is facing a $3 billion windfall for his social media company Truth Social going public, but the funds are several months out from landing in his account, and he has shown previously that he does not currently have enough liquid funds to post the bond outright, though his family has yet to admit it.
Contrary to the younger Trump’s complaints about how hard it is to secure a half-billion dollar bond, the ruling makes clear that the bond does not need to be funded from a single surety or lender.
Aside from Eric Trump ranting about failing to help his father, he also used his time on television to estimate that Mar-a-Lago is valued at a billion dollars and argue his dad “built the skyline of New York” (this isn’t the first time Eric Trump has made this claim), both of which seem ironic given that lying about property values and assets was what led to this trouble in the first place.
The original article contains 399 words, the summary contains 272 words. Saved 32%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Hey Eric, just so that you know, I’m laughing too.
You want me to loan money to the guy who owes half a billion for fraud?
Yeah, I’m pretty sure everybody’s laughing in your face. I swear to God, the Trump children are dumber than a bag of rocks.
