Mr. Trump? A multi-billionaire? The guy who can’t secure a $440m bond? That Mr. Trump? We talking about the same guy here?
There’s a reason he can’t secure that bond, you know. If you total up all of his asset valuations, he’s a billionaire. If you subtract all of the liens, mortgages, and encumbrance he has on those assets, he’s basically broke.
To be fair, and I have no idea why I’m being fair to that jackass, I think I would struggle to put together cash that’s 10% of my net worth, given that most of my net worth is in my home and retirement accounts. I know the math gets a lot different as your net worth goes up, and the biggest difference is he could liquidate assets that he doesn’t need to survive. But still I’m sure it’d wind up costing him more than the $500M or so on paper for the bond.
Hell, given that his “job” is just to be rage tweeting and encouraging racism, if he genuinely thinks he’s gonna weasel his way out of the charges, its probably more cost effective to go to jail for a bit for attention than to sell something on short notice.

Love watching him squirm though.
