"Don Poorleone" is a masterful jab at Trump's ego, I love to see it.
Also, anyone who represents Trump in court should already have known, that at some point or other he will blurt out something that undermines his own case.
“I made an offer everyone refused.”
I'm crying over here.
Could add a middle name moniker in quotes just to twist the knife, like some of the old mobsters used to have. Like Frankie "the nose" Luciano.
So Don "little hands" Poorleone
"rapey" Don Poorleone
Don "Cheeto dust" Poorleone
Don "Bone Spurs" Poorleone
Pussy hands!
Calling Destitute Don names is unsportsmanlike.
Tell that shit stain that I'm not much of an athlete
I don’t have dime store Donald’s number but I can understand why you would think turtlehead Trump would have dirty Donny diapers.
Poor guy
Literally
I would happily swap all my assets and capital with trump. And I wouldn't call myself poor afterwards
Memes won't change what will happen. He will get a stay from an appeals court, they will reduce the bond to a fraction of what it was and he will pay it and suffer almost no consequences
Edit: oh hey, I can predict the future would you look at that
They've already denied it. Trump's claims of having the money but not wanting to spend it on this isn't helping him either.
If the BBC article is right, he might get some loans considering he might get a rather good leverage with Truth Social stock... https://www.bbc.com/news/business-68609007
At what time of day is the actual deadline?
The "deadline" is tomorrow whenever. If he doesn't post a bond tomorrow, the state can begin proceedings to seize assets. Likely the first step will be to get a court order probibiting Trump from selling off or giving away any assets, which he will fight tooth and nail. The process could take months or years, and if he is elected president he can make that money ten times over selling more state secrets.
How many classified documents does Trump have to sell to Russia to make back the 500m?
If he was a smooth criminal, one. But in reality Putin will take advantage of his stupidity and ask for them all.
The President can declassify anything, apparently, so he wouldn't need to sell any classified documents, just ask for bids on which to declassify.
Some say he can declassify just by thinking about it!
He'll end up paying it. It's been a slow news week.
The real question is - how is Putin going to funnel the money to him?
The same way he sold secrets to the Saudis through a $2 billion "investment" in an unskilled, unqualified relative.

Donny -No-Pence
Two Pence None The Richer
I mean he's named Donald so we all know how this is going to end...
Sure he hasn't that much money, he's Donald not Scrooge McDuck.
