I’m not sure his ego would allow him to plead poverty, even if it was the best thing for him.
Its a truly delicious spectacle to witness.

With a security clearance, it doesn't necessarily matter where the money comes from, just that he'd be essentially indebted to someone who would then be in a position to influence him in terms of his decision making regarding mattes of national security. It's a MASSIVE red flag.I’m sure that any money he comes up with will be scrutinised as to it’s origins (at least I would hope so)!!

For sure on the caveat he doesn't get a sniff of occupying the White House againI’m not sure his ego would allow him to plead poverty, even if it was the best thing for him.

He won’t be broke, but he won’t have at least one of his signature properties! We actually might find out how little equity he has in some of these buildings, because if he has to sell, we’ll quickly find out who is naked and who isn’t!That clip is a few weeks old I think. You can see he is trying to play to his dumb ass base but he clearly knows he's talking BS, he normally does BS with more conviction.
He knows he's fucked. As does everyone stood around him, Habba is lurking over his shoulder, you can't see her well but you know she has that dead look in her eyes. Like a dog taking a shit, as goldbridge would say. They all knew back then where this was going and in the weeks since its right on course. Exposing the fact he doesn't have the cash or assets he claims and he can't make bond. He's going to have to plead poverty in order to appeal. Then he will lose the appeal and he will be broke. We are well into the end game now.
The problem he faces is that NO-ONE wants to give him a $500M bond, even at a non-refundable $50M fee, because no-one wants to be on the hook for him NOT paying and having to take the collateral.
The irony is that the whole case is based on lies about what his properties are worth and now he can’t get collateral on them for a surety bond!
He is paying the price for previous behaviour such as his companies declaring bankruptcy to avoid debts or stiffing suppliers. Why would anybody take a massive risk on him? Not even his billionaire backers are that stupid.He won’t be broke, but he won’t have at least one of his signature properties!

I note that GOP fund raising has dropped right off and he and the Maga party are heading for a fall. Karma.

Good post, but I wouldn’t be so sure. He has packed the supreme court. His cult don’t give a single fuck what he has done, or what he will do. This plays into his narrative of the deep state out to get the patriots. He shouid be in a jumpsuit now. The fact he isn’t, has me worrying he will get away with it. If that happens it’s a tragedy world wide. The US will be a laughing stock, then a threat to us, for the first time since the Colonial Wars. The sane part of America have to turn out. Those Evangelical Taliban scum will, as will the racists and the rich, who would support Hitler if he lowered their taxes.That clip is a few weeks old I think.

It’s a terrifying prospect if that fat, Nazi, rapist scumbag moron, gets elected.

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”
A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.
There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.
So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.
God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.
And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”

Don’t know the author, but I share his sentiments about Trump, and how the view can be different from afar.
I’m becoming increasingly bemused and befuddled by Trump cultists, especially because the ONLY thing they can do (and most can’t even do this, because they’re completely clueless) is to parrot his lies!
