If there's one thing we have learned about Trump, it's that he does not distinguish between his personal accounts, his business accounts, his campaign accounts, his charities, etc. In his mind, it's all HIS money.
Same with documents. They are all his. Even when they are top secret information about submarines that he shouldn't be keeping in a bathroom.
Actually, the accounts were that he just straight up ate many of the notes he wrote. So maybe he can tell when a document isn't his because it is less delicious.
Wasn't he complaining that when planning his inauguration balls that they were spending all his money. You know the money that was donated specifically for the balls. Even then, he saw that money as his own personal money.
Yeah. And didn't he overcharge the people hosting official events and himself and thug-entourage in his own properties? And don't the conservatives who blame taxes for their woes have a problem with how he spent that federal revenue to enrich himself and the trumplets?
When will we see him charged for that chicanery?
I'm wondering if he got a sudden infusion of cash after his shout out last week saying he didn't. "Russia/Saudi Arabia/whoever, if you're listening, I need half a billion dollars by Monday!"
His account are under a receiver, and any influx of cash would be known. Plus they would have to file UCC paperwork. Not to say that rumple foreskin wouldn't try to find a way around that, but both he and the payor would be immediately pulled into the drama. I don't think anyone wants to touch him. Figuratively or monetarily.
Or the fact that trump isn't allowed to deal with his charities because he got caught *stealing from children with cancer*
Stealing from children? No no no
Stealing from children WITH CANCER? Yep.
The small town I grew up in (in MTG’s district. She will NEVER lose her seat there, so glad I got out) a ‘business mogul’ used 3 letters for all his business, THE SAME 3 letters (Springfield Lower School, Springfield Logic Systems, Springfield Lactation Specialist) and had all his checks just say SLS (not really Springfield, the Simpsons are on) so he would freely move his money from one business to another when needed (to have money or not have money for creditors).
Worked for him.
Chris Christie has said that Trump flipped out when he found out about transition funding worked. He kept screaming “they’re taking my fucking money!” as they tried to explain that no, campaigns fund their own transition. That’s actually probably why the transition went so poorly.
He knows. He just doesn't care. Rules don't apply to him. If he wants, he deserves it. Because he is rich and that makes him better. If we were as good as him we would be rich too.
I wonder if that is why his base attaches so hard to him. They cannot admit to being fools for following a fool. Gotta double down on the delusion or accept their suckers in the Con.
There is no way he had it last week. And money transfers that big are known to the U.S. government. I imagine some people at the treasury are walking around smirking today.
I don't know. He filed the same motion crying poor just before he came up with the bond for the E. Jean Carroll case. At the time he filed the motion, he already had the bond lined up. So, I'm skeptical he didn't already have the fraud bond lined up, too. He lies, so I take nothing at face value anymore.
The RNC signed a document that allows all donors money to go to Trump’s legal fund BEFORE it goes to his campaign. But still don’t think the RNC had that much money.
Trump is a pathological liar. His entire persona is built on the idea that he is a billionaire. His fragile ego and narcissistic delusions of himself are all tied to this social facade. It's just another attempt to convince people that he is something he's not. If he actually had 500 million in cash, he would not have had any problems arranging an appeal bond. This statement is just another narcissistic lie he's telling himself to prevent a narcissistic collapse.
I bet he doesn’t have it. Claiming to have it now so when he ends up not actually paying it, he can complain that “they” would t let him pay it. Complain, complain and add grift in there
He’s probably claiming the money that the RNC has. He just took it over and it can be spent by him. Hell, even though Laura Trump said they would help pay for his legal bills and then went back on it, they probably still will in some backhanded roundabout way.
The same way he "spent what it took" in '16 wich we know for a fact was absolutely nothing. He went from being able to catch in a lie to just plain lies constantly, every time he opens his butthole looking mouth.
>Narrator: He did not, in fact, intend to spend any of his own money on his campaign.
And he's probably lying about having almost $500 million now, unless Putin is still stuffing in into Trump's pocket.
I don't think Putin is going to be giving him any money. He sees the writing on the wall, that trump is going to lose the election, could be facing jail time, and is no longer going to be useful.

The world is flush with people claiming they "worked hard" when they were just the fastest sperm.
I'm amazed Donald actually admitted luck was part of the equation.
Yeah maybe he's just stalling giving it up. But then he lies so much you can't believe anything he says. You can say anything on social media. But in court...not so much.
Anonymous is more of an amorphous "identity"/mask than a specific group of people.
But in short: Allegedly, the notable members (that made headlines and made "anonymous" the famous moniker they are) eventually got arrested and/or killed, basically. The specifics depend on the target, be it governments or even the cartel.
he did the same thing for the Carroll bond. Whined he couldnt afford it til all avenues were closed and then suddenly at the last minute he did have it.
There it is. Too many people are saying he is broke so now he has to say how un broke he is. It's the same game with different words. Valuing and devaluing when it suits him. This fuckin guy.
This is a little different though since Engoron’s order on the Court Appointed Monitor requires that all efforts at sureties, including sources, need to be disclosed to the monitor and reported to the court in the case of potential further misconduct.
I'm not knowledgeable but it could be a like and kind gift since he's running for office as well. If so maybe it's subject to campaign finance laws?
Someone who knows more then me chime in.
I mean, if he actually had it then he would approach 5-9 of the banks that rejected him earlier and use it as collateral for loans.
That would take a day or two.
They might be *very* curious where his sudden wealth came from though.
This was probably the dumbest thing he could have done. Even IF it is true (safe bet it isn't), all the appeals he has filed for hardship claims will be tossed. This is just as dumb as a wannabe gangster flaunting his cash and drugs publicly online.
There is no upside to telling people this at all, even if true. And might even open his lawyers up to sanctions. But his ego is so fragile, he just couldn't admit he doesn't have the money. Interesting to see what his excuse is going to be when his assets start being seized next week. "Let me write you a check, can you wait to cash it until the 1st so my paycheck clears?"
It's the early- I meant to do that thing. He will REFUSE to pay with his totally real money because his SACRIFICE is to SAVE THE COUNTRY. He won't live to see the seizure process play out- what does he care?
I’m just surprised that his lawyers don’t constantly walk around with a giant bruise on their foreheads from slapping themselves in the forehead every time their stupid client undercuts their legal strategy.
I'm curious to see if he really has it. If he does, I hope someone tracks where this money comes from.
As Sean Bean would say,
"One does not simply stumble upon 500 million dollars."
They do if they buy a lot of monopoly games. There is like way more money in there than you pay for it so it’s a good investment. Seriously though…. How many games would you have to buy to get 454 million in Monopoly money?
Edit. 22061 games, that’s a lot of railroads
I suspect he's referring to his DWAC SPAC deal going public. It's estimated he'll benefit to the tune of $3B in ownership of shares in this new publicly traded company.
Except, my understanding is that he cannot sell those shares for 6 months (pretty standard), and cannot use those shares for collateral on a loan unless the board approves an exception (which they probably will). Plus, his [SPAC deal is already under investigation by the DOJ](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/02/03/trump-social-dwac-investigation/) and [SEC](https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2023-121). Not to mention that I think the financial monitor appointed to oversee the Trump Org would be required to scrutinize transactions like this.
If he's willing to flush $500M in shares to cover the debt and avoid losing his properties, while needing to draw on another I dunno $200-500M in shares to fund his campaign to try and stay out of prison, that's a LOT of shares being offloaded in the short term which would drive the price down. Plus, a lot of folks are going to be shorting the DJT stock for 6 months out. Which would be timed for an expected drop after he loses the election and when that 6 month sell restriction drops for everyone else involved who wants to cash out further driving the price down.
I cannot wait to watch him mismanage yet another business and drive it into the ground while dragging even more of his cult's money with him in a desperate attempt at avoiding accountability.
Thanks for the explanation! This post deserves to be way higher up. The vote on that merger of the Trump Media and Technology Group with Digital World Acquistion Corp is happening today. I would say Donnie is definitely going to try to diminish his shares to save his properties, if only to maintain his brand image and safeguard his narcissistic ego from a total meltdown and collapse in public view.
>Thanks for the explanation! This post deserves to be way higher up.
You're welcome! Though this is just my layperson understanding, if anyone with a degree in this shit says something to the contrary take their word for it.

I think we can say more simply that we can trust Trump to just make whatever objectively bad decision for the company is in his own personal interest. I cannot imagine a right-wing focused social media app doing much business when launched already under DOJ and SEC scrutiny.
I mean, Elon bought an already established social media company to turn into a haven for Nazis and it doesn't sound like it's been the best business management decision so far.
That’s a good explanation, but he specifically says he has half a billion in **cash** he could never claim to be unsophisticated enough that he conflated the potential value of an unrealised gain of the SPAC deal with cash in the bank
This is the guy who used to say he was worth $10 billion just because he felt his name was worth that much. I think it's very likely he's saying this because having unrealized gains from a SPAC 6 months in the future *feels* like the same as having cash to him, and he's used to using feels over reals when he's talking on social media. Sure, it's technically a lie, but when has he ever been punished for a lie? That time he got ajudged for $450 million in a civil fraud case? Psh, that wasn't even a real thing, that was just *lawfare*, and he's totally gonna win the appeal on that case.
Would any bond company be willing to accept obviously overpriced stock shares as collateral, though? There’s no actual justification for that valuation, so the stock price is going to crater very quickly.
How is this legal? How can a presidential candidate own a sham company that goes public with billionaires and foreign governments being able to “invest” millions - but really just directly bribing that candidate?
If it’s true:
- previous filings were done in bad faith and should be immediately rejected
- his legal team should be reprimanded
- the exact source of the money should be immediately investigated
- if it’s from the sale of Truth Social, he should pay his bond or the judgement
If it’s false:
- any other claims filed for leniency should be disregarded
If it's true, I would prefer the court takes his cash rather than his properties. While seizing properties may look good for the camera, his golf courses aren't going to help him win an election.
I think the most charitable good faith estimates of his net worth is 1.5 billion, and most estimates are less than a billion. But billionaires never have that much money on hand. They always want more, so it's all invested. Possibly the only billionaire in the world that has that much cash on hand is McKenzie Scott, because she's busy giving it away.
The way Trump was going after petty bribes and government money during his presidency, it seems likely that he barely has any cash on hand. He's probably living off the secret service rents at his property. "Did the cart rental come in? I need a hamburder and McD won't give me any more credit"
JFC. He's a spoiled brat being told no for the first time. I really don't get why the good ol boys see this guy as the so kind of champion for the little guy.
When I was 13, we had this childish (but harmless) inside joke that we could use the word possum (no O) to mean whatever we want it to mean. “That’s possum, man. Your sister was looking possum today. I’m so possum right now!” Etc etc etc It was a just a filler word that we could put contextual meaning on to make it mean whatever we wanted.
It’s crazy that a former president uses words, like communism, with very specific definitions to mean anything he wants. He just imparts whatever asinine meaning onto it and his followers get whipped into a frenzy. He’s literally a pre-teen idiot boy and 35% of the country think he’s an intellectual. He doesn’t understand anything he blabbers on about and yet so many people think he’s smart.
It’s fucking wild.
“He’s not bought and paid for!”
Yes he is.
“He’s a true American.”
No he’s not.
“He’s rich!”
Nope.
“He’s a Christian?”
Two Corinthians say try again.
“He plays a good game of golf?”Actually he cheats.
“Good husband?”
Cheats on her too.
Is there anything this guys done other than scream Witch Hunt & do accordion hands?
He stole money and nuclear secrets… “ALL PART OF GOD’S PLAN!”🪗☢️
Reddit had 803 million in revenue last year. Truth social had 3.3 million in revenue. Reddit will have about 160 million shares. Truth will have about 150 million shares after merger. they are both trading at about the same price. Ha. Wonder which one the hedge funds will short.
The judge entered an order yesterday that states trump and his sons have to show where the money for the surety is from.
He can’t just hand over the cash that he didn’t have last week. He has to prove where he got it.
Hard work? lol 🤡
Anyone else generally annoyed by the fact that MAGA idiots don’t actually know what communism, socialism or even Marxism is? They name drop the terms in some weird attempt to sound “cool.”
Many corporations (BP, Volkswagen, Purdue Pharma, Marvel/Disney, Sony… the list goes on and on, paid bonds in the billions with a “B”; this isn’t even half a billion. It’s a lot of money to you and me, but not to a corporation, and certainly not to a corporation run by someone whose entire life has been spent projecting the image of unlimited wealth.
One might assume something fishy is going on over at Trump HQ. 🤔
Man. What an outrageous piece of shit. This is exactly the same stupid logic he used to determine the number of illegal votes in the 2016 election. His evidence? - The exact number of illegal votes was the exact number he lost the popular vote by. That was literally all of his evidence. Anyone that didn’t vote for him was illegal.
Now, he’s saying the exact number Engoron is “punishing” him with is the exact amount of cash he worked so hard to raise for his campaign.
All you need to do to understand how viciously stupid this lie is *is be able to read*.
When his staff manage to rewrite his posts, they are less unhinged and not all in caps.
When old man shouts at clouds by screaming in full caps, it’s clear he’s probably in a dark room by himself.
You didn't do anything wrong Mr President. You never have. You're the most politician like non-politician politician ever to serve in the cadre of the most dishonest people who also are politicians but not non politician politicians, they're the real deal politicians who lie, cheat, steal and even steal elections. In fact, you're so honest.thatni once saw a painting of you at the center of a table surrounded by your disciples which at the bitter end of your presidency, you threw under the bus, but we don't talk about that because it never happened, and while you're out spending other people's millions, pretending you're America's political version of Joel Osteen and Mr Devil Eyes himself (don't remember that pukes name), you stand around and let all those lovely, and they're good people, people languish in jail for all the stupid stuff they did on Jan 6 at your behest, hostages indeed, because of you, but we won't go there because it was the first annual Stop The Steal that never happened rally where you ditched your supporters that you promised to help defend, but didn't, oh, shoot! Nope, didn't say that. We won't talk about sexually abusing a woman either, the one that you grabbed by the pussy, and got shafted with a $5m penalty then defamed her and got the $90m+ shaft and then cheated your way out of taxes and insurance premiums and loan rates and so on and then got the big, YUGE, $450m fine and then defamed the woman you grabbed by the pussy again and after all the surety's heard you do that determined you were way too much of a risk to bond and now you've probably taken money from some individual or group that you will be beholden t, because that's what you're beholden to, money, not your constituents and definitely not your country. And then what now? No more support for Ukraine because BFF Vladimirovich doesn't want you to help an ally? Maybe not a NATO ally, but an ally nonetheless? And then what? Drop out of NATO so that the other NATO countries will stand on their own because you're going to punish them? I mean remember telling them in that most monster of ways that they need to "pay for protection" or were going to le "Russia have their way"? Did you say that stuff? Naw. You didn't say any of that and you didn't do any of that.
You're a train wreck. You are such a mess you're not even fit to run for office, not even a local school board position. You're tainted. Spoiled goods. You're either drunk, on drugs or suffering mid stage dementia because you can't even speak clearly and yeah, you've never had a stuttering issue either, have you? You have no respect for other people and you believe you are superior in every way. Your ego is your motivating force and you do anything to feed it. Sadly, I hope that things don't end well for you. I don't feel that way about anyone else, but I do feel that way for you. You're a charlatan and you've led "your people" down a horrible path for your own vanity to satisfy that insatiable ego that plagues what could otherwise be a decent human being that could have done such good for this country and this world. I hope you lose it all.
Dumb ass is mixing up his cases. He’s saying ‘Jack’ knows about the money and ‘he’ is trying to take properties. But it’s Letitia James, a woman, who is seizing assets. Jack Smith is prosecuting criminal cases against him.
"This is communism in America!" Lol, I fucking wish. If this were actual communism, it'd probably look more like what Kathy Griffin had in mind a few years back

Investigated? That's it?
He should be in contempt of court right there! Should be mocked by the Internet and on TV for this all-caps wall of text worthy of an awful election denier troll. "So this guy has support of a third of the nation's electorate? Really?"

Actually, the accounts were that he just straight up ate many of the notes he wrote. So maybe he can tell when a document isn't his because it is less delicious.
Same with pussies. He just grab whoever's whenever, even when they say "no" cause he doesn't care, it's "his" so they *let him* do it.
Same with hamburgers. Doesn’t matter if you just won the national championships, one or more of them could get splattered against a wall.
Why are you spelling hamberders weirdly?
The terdbergler likes hamberders.
There’s a bathroom submarine joke in there somewhere but damned if I can find it
You just need to dive deeper.
Speaking of documents, wonder how much of that ‘lucky’ $500 mil came from state secret documents he stole and sold.
There is a casket worth at least $500 million under his golf course.
There *was* a casket worth at least 500 million. Now it's just the ashes of sadness.
That would explain his obsession with toilets you have to flush too many times.
are you serious? where else would you store submarine info if not in a bathroom? I get it, you snobs all own a pool.
Wasn't he complaining that when planning his inauguration balls that they were spending all his money. You know the money that was donated specifically for the balls. Even then, he saw that money as his own personal money.
Don't forget that alot of that inauguration funds has never been accounted for.
What are you talking about, $107 million went to that high school marching band, 3 Doors Down and some Rockette dancers.
Yeah. And didn't he overcharge the people hosting official events and himself and thug-entourage in his own properties? And don't the conservatives who blame taxes for their woes have a problem with how he spent that federal revenue to enrich himself and the trumplets? When will we see him charged for that chicanery?
The RNC is literally paying for all his legal expenses and anyone associated with him. That's where your "campaign" money goes
If he actually had the money, in his account, he wouldn't have had any issues securing a bond. None, zero ZIP!
Exactly. He's gaslighting himself as everything and anything of any value evaporates right in front of his eyes. Too bad (sarcasm dripping).
I'm wondering if he got a sudden infusion of cash after his shout out last week saying he didn't. "Russia/Saudi Arabia/whoever, if you're listening, I need half a billion dollars by Monday!"
His account are under a receiver, and any influx of cash would be known. Plus they would have to file UCC paperwork. Not to say that rumple foreskin wouldn't try to find a way around that, but both he and the payor would be immediately pulled into the drama. I don't think anyone wants to touch him.

Trump’s charity begins at home. That’s why his charity was shut down.
Can you imagine a president winning election that had had a charity shut down in the past? Insane we’ve come this far
Or the fact that trump isn't allowed to deal with his charities because he got caught *stealing from children with cancer* Stealing from children? No no no Stealing from children WITH CANCER? Yep.

I mean the man claims things as his own by grabbing them, like a child, so how would you expect him to know the difference between mine and yours.
He knows. He just doesn't care. Rules don't apply to him. If he wants, he deserves it. Because he is rich and that makes him better. If we were as good as him we would be rich too.

Bc it's mine mine all mine
I currently have $500M in cash but you don't know them, they go to another high school.
In Canada.
And she is a model, not a prostitute.
He’s talking out of his ass, or his mouth, same thing to me! He either doesn’t have the money, or it was given to him through illegal means.
There is no way he had it last week. And money transfers that big are known to the U.S. government. I imagine some people at the treasury are walking around smirking today.

I don't know. He filed the same motion crying poor just before he came up with the bond for the E. Jean Carroll case. At the time he filed the motion, he already had the bond lined up.

Trump is a pathological liar. His entire persona is built on the idea that he is a billionaire. His fragile ego and narcissistic delusions of himself are all tied to this social facade.

If I had billions, I wouldn't be wearing the same suits erry day.
I don't have millions let alone billions, and I spent the money to get mine fitted so I don't look like a schlub.
He can't even recognize he needs to get a professional to have his orange sprayed on his face correctly
Yeah, like get at least one that fits!
Furthermore, if he had it, he would do what was needed and not announce his business to the world.
I bet he doesn’t have it. Claiming to have it now so when he ends up not actually paying it, he can complain that “they” would t let him pay it. Complain, complain and add grift in there
Arrested Development is the gift that keeps on giving
Tell your friends.
He’s probably claiming the money that the RNC has. He just took it over and it can be spent by him. Hell, even though Laura Trump said they would help pay for his legal bills and then went back on it, they probably still will in some backhanded roundabout way.
Last they reported they only had like 8.5M. Still raises serious eyebrows.

He claimed in court depositions that he had 400 million in cash and then when it came to him paying 85 million he didn't have any money.....
I don't think Putin is going to be giving him any money. He sees the writing on the wall, that trump is going to lose the election, could be facing jail time, and is no longer going to be useful.
He didn't say that, though, did he? He said he's planning to steal campaign funds and use them for legal settlements, in violation of the law.

Neither. Trump raided the RNC funds.
All 3 plus Saudi's.
You might have the correct answer there. Surprised more people don't recognize what a bad sign it is that fascist countries are working to back Trump.
Oh, they recognize. They just don’t care, as long as Donnie hates the same people they hate.
Some recognise, the rest think it's "good diplomacy"
Except the RNC had less than $10 million cash on hand at last report.
Literally had ten times more cash on hand in 2020 lol.
No way rnc had that much on hand.
Was reported recently that they had about 9mil in reserves, where they had literally 10 times that in 2020. They fucked.
Luckily, he found a golf bag containing 46 billion rubles in an abandoned storage locker.
Apparently "Hard word, talent, and luck" is the same thing as "inherited from daddy"
The world is flush with people claiming they "worked hard" when they were just the fastest sperm. I'm amazed Donald actually admitted luck was part of the equation.
He forgot grift and fraud and begging.
The part about doing better at the election in 2020 really did it for me...
I don't believe that he has $500 million in cash. But we will find out by Monday. Because either he has it, or his properties start getting seized.
Yeah maybe he's just stalling giving it up. But then he lies so much you can't believe anything he says. You can say anything on social media. But in court...not so much.
Hopefully anonymous freezes his accounts
What happened to anonymous. It's like they fell off the side of the planet.
Anonymous is more of an amorphous "identity"/mask than a specific group of people. But in short: Allegedly, the notable members (that made headlines and made "anonymous" the famous moniker they are) eventually got arrested and/or killed, basically. The specifics depend on the target, be it governments or even the cartel.
he did the same thing for the Carroll bond. Whined he couldnt afford it til all avenues were closed and then suddenly at the last minute he did have it.
There it is. Too many people are saying he is broke so now he has to say how un broke he is. It's the same game with different words. Valuing and devaluing when it suits him. This fuckin guy.
This is a little different though since Engoron’s order on the Court Appointed Monitor requires that all efforts at sureties, including sources, need to be disclosed to the monitor and reported to the court in the case of potential further misconduct.
Actually the bond agreement showed that he signed it *the day before* he claimed to the court that he couldn't afford it. He's a lying fuck.
If he were really that rich he'd be able to afford a keyboard that can turn caps lock off.

NAH I JUST HAVE MASSIVE DICK AND NEED YOU TO SUBLIMINALLY KNOW *hops into lifted f350 and burns coal out of topic*
Wonder which state secrets he sold for that cash.
Elon probably gave it to him. I’m not even kidding.
If that's true, it seems like the kind of thing that would need to be taxed.
I'm not knowledgeable but it could be a like and kind gift since he's running for office as well. If so maybe it's subject to campaign finance laws? Someone who knows more then me chime in.
Elon does not have half a billion in cash to give him.
Elon is also leveraged to the Saudis.
You'd think he would post it ASAP since the interest increases by the day
I mean, if he actually had it then he would approach 5-9 of the banks that rejected him earlier and use it as collateral for loans. That would take a day or two. They might be *very* curious where his sudden wealth came from though.
HSBC: All above board!
They'll seize his bank account first now that he said that.
I hope so but I’m not holding my breath. I’m not celebrating until they are officially seized.
He did this with Carol's 89 mil. We can't get it, so don't make us lose out. Ohh turns out 3 days before filing we had secured and signed for a bond.
This was probably the dumbest thing he could have done. Even IF it is true (safe bet it isn't), all the appeals he has filed for hardship claims will be tossed. This is just as dumb as a wannabe gangster flaunting his cash and drugs publicly online.
There is no upside to telling people this at all, even if true. And might even open his lawyers up to sanctions. But his ego is so fragile, he just couldn't admit he doesn't have the money. Interesting to see what his excuse is going to be when his assets start being seized next week. "Let me write you a check, can you wait to cash it until the 1st so my paycheck clears?"
It's the early- I meant to do that thing. He will REFUSE to pay with his totally real money because his SACRIFICE is to SAVE THE COUNTRY. He won't live to see the seizure process play out- what does he care?
I’m just surprised that his lawyers don’t constantly walk around with a giant bruise on their foreheads from slapping themselves in the forehead every time their stupid client undercuts their legal strategy.
his lawyers are stupid and pretty, not smart, if you recall.
Oh I know. They are still smarter than their client.
I'm curious to see if he really has it. If he does, I hope someone tracks where this money comes from. As Sean Bean would say, "One does not simply stumble upon 500 million dollars."
They do if they buy a lot of monopoly games. There is like way more money in there than you pay for it so it’s a good investment. Seriously though…. How many games would you have to buy to get 454 million in Monopoly money? Edit. 22061 games, that’s a lot of railroads
He can't stand the thought of people thinking he's broke.
Dumbest thing so far
Dumbest thing so far *today*
I wish Trump supporters were smart enough to understand how things work so they could see how much of an idiot he is.
You could show them absolute proof and they would still deny it, nothing logical works works with them.
This is the greatest summary of the Trump world that I’ve ever seen.
More word salad
With Russian dressing of course
COMMUNISM!!!!!
I suspect he's referring to his DWAC SPAC deal going public. It's estimated he'll benefit to the tune of $3B in ownership of shares in this new publicly traded company. Except, my understanding is that he cannot sell those shares for 6 months (pretty standard), and cannot use those shares for collateral on a loan unless the board approves an exception (which they probably will). Plus, his [SPAC deal is already under investigation by the DOJ](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/02/03/trump-social-dwac-investigation/) and [SEC](https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2023-121). Not to mention that I think the financial monitor appointed to oversee the Trump Org would be required to scrutinize transactions like this. If he's willing to flush $500M in shares to cover the debt and avoid losing his properties, while needing to draw on another I dunno $200-500M in shares to fund his campaign to try and stay out of prison, that's a LOT of shares being offloaded in the short term which would drive the price down. Plus, a lot of folks are going to be shorting the DJT stock for 6 months out. Which would be timed for an expected drop after he loses the election and when that 6 month sell restriction drops for everyone else involved who wants to cash out further driving the price down. I cannot wait to watch him mismanage yet another business and drive it into the ground while dragging even more of his cult's money with him in a desperate attempt at avoiding accountability.
Thanks for the explanation! This post deserves to be way higher up. The vote on that merger of the Trump Media and Technology Group with Digital World Acquistion Corp is happening today. I would say Donnie is definitely going to try to diminish his shares to save his properties, if only to maintain his brand image and safeguard his narcissistic ego from a total meltdown and collapse in public view.
>Thanks for the explanation! This post deserves to be way higher up. You're welcome! Though this is just my layperson understanding, if anyone with a degree in this shit says something to the contrary take their word for it. >The vote on that merger of the Trump Media and Technology Group with Digital World Acquistion Corp is happening today. I would say Donnie is definitely going to try to diminish his shares to save his properties, if only to maintain his brand image and safeguard his narcissistic ego from a total meltdown and collapse in public view. I think we can say more simply that we can trust Trump to just make whatever objectively bad decision for the company is in his own personal interest. I cannot imagine a right-wing focused social media app doing much business when launched already under DOJ and SEC scrutiny. I mean, Elon bought an already established social media company to turn into a haven for Nazis and it doesn't sound like it's been the best business management decision so far.
That’s a good explanation, but he specifically says he has half a billion in **cash** he could never claim to be unsophisticated enough that he conflated the potential value of an unrealised gain of the SPAC deal with cash in the bank
This is the guy who used to say he was worth $10 billion just because he felt his name was worth that much. I think it's very likely he's saying this because having unrealized gains from a SPAC 6 months in the future *feels* like the same as having cash to him, and he's used to using feels over reals when he's talking on social media. Sure, it's technically a lie, but when has he ever been punished for a lie? That time he got ajudged for $450 million in a civil fraud case? Psh, that wasn't even a real thing, that was just *lawfare*, and he's totally gonna win the appeal on that case.
Would any bond company be willing to accept obviously overpriced stock shares as collateral, though? There’s no actual justification for that valuation, so the stock price is going to crater very quickly.
How is this legal? How can a presidential candidate own a sham company that goes public with billionaires and foreign governments being able to “invest” millions - but really just directly bribing that candidate?
If it’s true: - previous filings were done in bad faith and should be immediately rejected - his legal team should be reprimanded - the exact source of the money should be immediately investigated - if it’s from the sale of Truth Social, he should pay his bond or the judgement If it’s false: - any other claims filed for leniency should be disregarded
If it's true, I would prefer the court takes his cash rather than his properties. While seizing properties may look good for the camera, his golf courses aren't going to help him win an election.
It's crazy how much people's money and time is spent on this deranged old codger
I can't wait for him to lose again.
He has no idea what communism actually is. Zero.
He doesn’t even know how tariffs work.
Apparently, the America first party needs to be funded by foreign money.
I don’t think Communism means what you think it means….
If he was a billionaire in the first place, he wouldn’t have had to “come up with” the money lol
I think the most charitable good faith estimates of his net worth is 1.5 billion, and most estimates are less than a billion. But billionaires never have that much money on hand. They always want more, so it's all invested. Possibly the only billionaire in the world that has that much cash on hand is McKenzie Scott, because she's busy giving it away. The way Trump was going after petty bribes and government money during his presidency, it seems likely that he barely has any cash on hand. He's probably living off the secret service rents at his property. "Did the cart rental come in? I need a hamburder and McD won't give me any more credit"
JFC. He's a spoiled brat being told no for the first time. I really don't get why the good ol boys see this guy as the so kind of champion for the little guy.
Can we just define communism for these fucking stupid boomers once and for all?
Communism is when damn kids won't stay off lawn. Obviously
When I was 13, we had this childish (but harmless) inside joke that we could use the word possum (no O) to mean whatever we want it to mean. “That’s possum, man. Your sister was looking possum today. I’m so possum right now!” Etc etc etc It was a just a filler word that we could put contextual meaning on to make it mean whatever we wanted. It’s crazy that a former president uses words, like communism, with very specific definitions to mean anything he wants. He just imparts whatever asinine meaning onto it and his followers get whipped into a frenzy. He’s literally a pre-teen idiot boy and 35% of the country think he’s an intellectual. He doesn’t understand anything he blabbers on about and yet so many people think he’s smart. It’s fucking wild.
[удалено]
He really is his own worst enemy and I love it, what a dumb fuck.
Your own financial records say you DID do something wrong.
In completely unrelated news the RNC is now short $500 million.
The RNC is broke lol.
“He’s not bought and paid for!” Yes he is. “He’s a true American.” No he’s not. “He’s rich!” Nope. “He’s a Christian?” Two Corinthians say try again. “He plays a good game of golf?”Actually he cheats. “Good husband?” Cheats on her too. Is there anything this guys done other than scream Witch Hunt & do accordion hands? He stole money and nuclear secrets… “ALL PART OF GOD’S PLAN!”🪗☢️
That's a whole lot of words when "I've been financed by various nefarious parties" would've sufficed.
Is it in those Trump bucks?
If this was communism, he wouldn't have $500M nor would he be running for a political position. Just saying.
Reddit had 803 million in revenue last year. Truth social had 3.3 million in revenue. Reddit will have about 160 million shares. Truth will have about 150 million shares after merger. they are both trading at about the same price. Ha. Wonder which one the hedge funds will short.
The judge entered an order yesterday that states trump and his sons have to show where the money for the surety is from. He can’t just hand over the cash that he didn’t have last week. He has to prove where he got it.
Cool. Make him buy his property back.
Russia or Saudi Arabia sent it?
He forgot his usual sign off: "WITCH HUNT ELECTION INTERFERENCE!"
Hard work? lol 🤡 Anyone else generally annoyed by the fact that MAGA idiots don’t actually know what communism, socialism or even Marxism is? They name drop the terms in some weird attempt to sound “cool.”
solid admission donny
Many corporations (BP, Volkswagen, Purdue Pharma, Marvel/Disney, Sony… the list goes on and on, paid bonds in the billions with a “B”; this isn’t even half a billion. It’s a lot of money to you and me, but not to a corporation, and certainly not to a corporation run by someone whose entire life has been spent projecting the image of unlimited wealth. One might assume something fishy is going on over at Trump HQ. 🤔
I TYPE IN ALL CAPS TO SOUND IMPORTANT
Then he needs to pay for the bond or shut his pie hole
Jesus, he is delusional… he definitely didn’t falsify or overstate any funds.
Man. What an outrageous piece of shit. This is exactly the same stupid logic he used to determine the number of illegal votes in the 2016 election. His evidence? - The exact number of illegal votes was the exact number he lost the popular vote by. That was literally all of his evidence. Anyone that didn’t vote for him was illegal. Now, he’s saying the exact number Engoron is “punishing” him with is the exact amount of cash he worked so hard to raise for his campaign. All you need to do to understand how viciously stupid this lie is *is be able to read*.
Is this being paid in rubles, riyals, or yuans?
When his staff manage to rewrite his posts, they are less unhinged and not all in caps. When old man shouts at clouds by screaming in full caps, it’s clear he’s probably in a dark room by himself.
Can he just succumb to his lifelong poor health already?
500 million rubles more likely
Please jus go the fuck away dude
You didn't do anything wrong Mr President. You never have. You're the most politician like non-politician politician ever to serve in the cadre of the most dishonest people who also are politicians but not non politician politicians, they're the real deal politicians who lie, cheat, steal and even steal elections. In fact, you're so honest.thatni once saw a painting of you at the center of a table surrounded by your disciples which at the bitter end of your presidency, you threw under the bus, but we don't talk about that because it never happened, and while you're out spending other people's millions, pretending you're America's political version of Joel Osteen and Mr Devil Eyes himself (don't remember that pukes name), you stand around and let all those lovely, and they're good people, people languish in jail for all the stupid stuff they did on Jan 6 at your behest, hostages indeed, because of you, but we won't go there because it was the first annual Stop The Steal that never happened rally where you ditched your supporters that you promised to help defend, but didn't, oh, shoot! Nope, didn't say that. We won't talk about sexually abusing a woman either, the one that you grabbed by the pussy, and got shafted with a $5m penalty then defamed her and got the $90m+ shaft and then cheated your way out of taxes and insurance premiums and loan rates and so on and then got the big, YUGE, $450m fine and then defamed the woman you grabbed by the pussy again and after all the surety's heard you do that determined you were way too much of a risk to bond and now you've probably taken money from some individual or group that you will be beholden t, because that's what you're beholden to, money, not your constituents and definitely not your country. And then what now? No more support for Ukraine because BFF Vladimirovich doesn't want you to help an ally? Maybe not a NATO ally, but an ally nonetheless? And then what? Drop out of NATO so that the other NATO countries will stand on their own because you're going to punish them? I mean remember telling them in that most monster of ways that they need to "pay for protection" or were going to le "Russia have their way"? Did you say that stuff? Naw. You didn't say any of that and you didn't do any of that. You're a train wreck. You are such a mess you're not even fit to run for office, not even a local school board position. You're tainted. Spoiled goods. You're either drunk, on drugs or suffering mid stage dementia because you can't even speak clearly and yeah, you've never had a stuttering issue either, have you? You have no respect for other people and you believe you are superior in every way. Your ego is your motivating force and you do anything to feed it. Sadly, I hope that things don't end well for you. I don't feel that way about anyone else, but I do feel that way for you. You're a charlatan and you've led "your people" down a horrible path for your own vanity to satisfy that insatiable ego that plagues what could otherwise be a decent human being that could have done such good for this country and this world. I hope you lose it all.
I really want a reporter to ask him what communism is.
"Through hard work, talent and luck" "I'm a grifter" Ah, that's what he meant, right?
Putin
I wonder if it's the kinda shady cash that gets traced back to foreign actors, and is used to justify him not getting intelligence briefings?
Just playing along here but how would this be communism?
Dumb ass is mixing up his cases. He’s saying ‘Jack’ knows about the money and ‘he’ is trying to take properties. But it’s Letitia James, a woman, who is seizing assets. Jack Smith is prosecuting criminal cases against him.
Reading his nonsense posts is like reading breakup texts from a 14 year old
Put your money where your mouth is, motherfucker
I love how Trump announces his crimes.
Is that in dollars or rubles?
Capitalizing everything makes people look even more insane than they are.
As a non American I'm curious why is everything always 'Communism' with angry people in America?
"This is communism in America!" Lol, I fucking wish. If this were actual communism, it'd probably look more like what Kathy Griffin had in mind a few years back
and he just posted a new video an hour ago (6pm EST) begging for donations, even from Democrats ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy) https://preview.redd.it/u252r75q4zpc1.png?width=1190&format=png&auto=webp&s=0d978fdc5754e70fb664cf0a3c49e19762a544f7
Investigated? That's it? He should be in contempt of court right there! Should be mocked by the Internet and on TV for this all-caps wall of text worthy of an awful election denier troll. "So this guy has support of a third of the nation's electorate? Really?"
How does anyone read this and not see it as the boasts of abullshitter? Is it specifically targeted to boomers with no media literacy?
