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.

      Sounds like a movie, but I wouldn’t want to be the bounty hunter tasked with going up against the Secret Service! Though this does raise questions about the Secrets Service’s responsibility to protect against legally sanctioned law enforcement (of sorts).

        As long as the SS keeps him alive, they are doing their job. Unfortunately, I suspect that the dudes that are surrounding Trump might take that to the extreme.

        Wanna bet the bondsman is his supporter and won’t even mind losing the money? It is a goddamn cult.

        my betting pool says its an odds-on favourite that he’ll run away to Russia before 2024 and claim he’s being int exile due to persecution. Of course, he and his griftng family will ask for $$ from the suckers.
