Donald Trump reportedly used a bail bondsman after being arrested at Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday, paying $20,000 of his bond set at $200,000 and taking out a loan for the rest of it. The fact that the former president resorted to such a measure has sparked questions on social media about the state of his finances.
I’m surprised they trust him enough to front the money, honestly. They aren’t getting that money back. Ever.
If he was going to skip town, why would he even show up to get processed? Also, skipping town for the trial would add more charges and they would arrest him the second he stepped back on US soil. It’s not like he travels under the radar… he has a plane with his name on it. His campaign for 2024 would be over if he doesn’t show up. It also implies guilt, that he is running and hiding from something.
This seems low risk for the bail bondsman. It’s too high profile.
He’s trying to become potus again as a Heil Mary
If he feels that he really goes to jail I don’t think he will care about 2024 anymore. And he doesn’t have to leave in his own plane. He still has people who are willing to help him.
In any case I’m sure the bondsman is also his fan and probably wouldn’t even mind losing the money.
I don’t think he is capable of accepting the idea that he can lose anything, be it an election or a court case. I think all this talk of him skipping town and disappearing is just wishful thinking from everyone here. I don’t see it having any basis in reality.
I think we are greatly underestimating him. The fact that he still isn’t in jail shows that he isn’t that dumb (I don’t believe in luck). In fact playing dumb is what helped him get out of many difficult situations.
Maybe he is still useful to some people, so they don’t let him land on his face… Yet.
