    I’m sure he can make some promises to some foreign agents that he’ll fulfill if he wins

    Brilliant so if he posts the bond will that mean he is a billionaire? Do you even know what that means?

    Thank you! Nice segue into your partisan rant as well. I like yours better though since you piggy backed off of mine (I respect work smarter, not harder)
    Good Job!!

    Why do you think this will suddenly change on Election Day?

    Or are you saying you and your ilk will continue to behave the same way you have been behaving for the last 7 years?

    LOL

    Yeah, trump doesn’t like to use his own money, but a real billionaire should be able to scrape together 500 million in cash by mortgaging a few of his properties before the government takes over and does it for him.
    That’s what you do in Monopoly when you fall into debt.
    It could be that trump is an even bigger financial fake than we suspect.

    In fact, if he did, it would prove that he's not a liar.

    Because in his sworn testimony for the E. Jean Carroll trial, he claimed to have over $400 million in cash.

    Trump was forced to make a collateral loan secured by an insurance company for the $83 million bond in Ms. Carroll's defamation lawsuit.

    So the guy's a lot poorer than he pretends.

    And if the MAGA weren't there to pay his astronomical legal fees, he'd have gone bankrupt for a 7th time....

    A single person? Sure

    I just figured it was apparent by the “f*** your feelings” chants you guys did, that was the intention.

    Speaking of truth — I am not the one whining because a criminal lost a court case.

    That isn't really the source of it for me. The problem for me is that things that uses to be "loop holes" that people were not held accountable for is ONLY a crime when Trump does it. I can pretend they aren't trying to bankrupt him for election purposes but i'd be lying! Now EVERY SINGLE PROPERTY in NYC should have the value re-assessed to make sure not one other rich new yorker EVER mis-valued a piece of property

    I would say that one party member calling out the other party for behavior that is common within their own party is disingenuous.

    One would say that, if they believe in HIVE mentality. here on the right, we speak for ourselves and are allowed free and individual thought (i know its hard to grasp but search your feelings)

    Actually the fact the Trump is having difficulty coming up with the money may prove he is no where near as corrupt as many democrats claim. You would think the richest man in the world, Putin, could easily bail him out. Or MBS who siphoned 2 Billion into Jared's startup. What is 1/2 a billion for them?

    Celebrating 22,000+ employees losing their job is pretty disgusting... But hate is an ugly, ugly disease!

    I thought he got rich from his presidency (that is what my friends on the left tell me).
    Maybe he's pretending? I'm sure they will clear it up for us. We all know how great they are with facts and statistics. Stay tuned.............

    Do you? Apparently he does not have the equity to borrow against.

    Why would anyone think that Putin would bail him out? Trump is a tool, a literal tool, in the cog that is the Putin machine. Why would Putin help someone he cares nothing about, who no longer has anything to offer?

    Water is wet. I told everyone when this was decided that it would end in liquidation. No, this doesn't mean he's broke it means he doesn't have a billion in LIQUID assets, and guess what, there's not a rich person who does.

    Most of them put their assets in hard capital(real estate, automobiles, etc.) And the actual monetary(liquid) value is usually much lesser. They then turn a small portion of hard assets into liquid assets as situationally required.

    I bet you even Warren Buffet doesn't have half a billion in liquid assets.

    The left wing is too attached to the government's ability to print money out of thin air to know the difficulty for just about everyone else, even the mega rich lol.

    The most powerful entity in America is the US Treasury.

    I'll bet you Buffet wouldn't have any problem getting a bond. And I'm pretty sure people like Buffet are much more interested in owning stock, which is fairly liquid, than automobiles. He still drives his old truck.

    I have many tools. Some are very useful and I am very fond of them. It someone wanted to take that tool away from me I would probably try to stop them.
