Donald Trump couldn’t resist. He falsely claimed to have $500 million in cash, so now he has no chance of getting a fraud bond stay.
Trump made a post on Truth Social:
Through hard work, talent, and luck, I currently have nearly $500 million in cash, a significant amount of which I planned to use for my presidential campaign. The judge in the A.G. case, despite my innocence, knew this and decided to use the inflated amount to demand the $454,000,000 bond. I did nothing wrong except win an unexpected election in 2016, perform even better in 2020, and currently lead for 2024. This is communism in America!
Trump’s attorneys are currently arguing in court that he doesn’t have the $454 million for the fraud bond, so they are requesting a stay of the bond.
The former president destroyed that argument by claiming that he has so much cash that he could pay the bond if he wanted to. This benefits Attorney General Letitia James, as New York would prefer cash over seizing Trump’s properties.
Donald Trump does not possess the money. I am more inclined to believe those who might face sanctions if they lied to the court rather than a man who has spent his entire adult life lying about his personal wealth.
Thanks to his Truth Social post, Trump now has no chance of getting a stay of the bond. AG James has already taken the first step to seize his assets.
Trump’s ego is so large, and he has perpetuated the lie for so long that he cannot admit the truth about his finances.
Donald Trump’s inability to stop lying probably just cost him $454 million.
