Apparently Donald Trump Can’t Pay His Bills.
Is anyone really particularly surprised?
Long before he entered the realm of politics and cattapolted to the office of the President of the United States, the fact that Donald Trump lies about his finances is one of the worst kept secrets in the world of the elites. His track record speaks for itself, and the long trail of bankruptcies and mismanagement continues to follow him. And of course, it comes back to haunt him with his various legal issues.
Kara Scannell and Jeremy Herb with CNN write:
“Former President Donald Trump can’t find an insurance company to underwrite his bond to cover the massive judgment against him in the New York attorney general’s civil fraud case, his lawyers told a New York appeals court.
Trump’s attorneys said he has approached 30 underwriters to back the bond, which is due by the end of this month.
“The amount of the judgment, with interest, exceeds $464 million, and very few bonding companies will consider a bond of anything approaching that magnitude,” Trump’s lawyers wrote. (Trump himself was ordered to pay $454 million; the $464 million includes the disgorgement for his adult sons Don Jr. and Eric.)…”
Yeah…he can’t pay his bills.
