Donald Trump has no idea how to post bond in the fraud trialā€”and heā€™s absolutely losing it.

In just shy of a week, Donald Trumpā€™s $454 million judgment from his New York bank fraud trial will become collectible, either by way of liquid cash or financial assetsā€”and it has officially sent Trump into meltdown mode.

The notoriously sleep-deprived GOP presidential nominee spent the better part of Monday night shouting into the void about the massive, half-billion-dollar judgment and his apparentĀ inability to pay it off, bemoaning being required to follow the law before being allowed to appeal the case.

ā€œI would be forced to mortgage or sell Great Assets, perhaps at Fire Sale prices, and if and when I win the Appeal, they would be gone. Does that make sense? WITCH HUNT. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!ā€ Trump posted Tuesday morning.

ā€œI shouldnā€™t have to put up any money, being forced by the Corrupt Judge and AG, until the end of the appeal. Thatā€™s the way system works!ā€ he added, forgetting that heā€™s being held to the same standards as every private citizen.

    Poor guy, I feel really bad for him. Sure hope nothing else happens to ruin him. Itā€™d be really bad if he was forced to go to jail too. On the bright side, at least heā€™d match the jumpsuit. Maybe he could write a script about his poor, difficult life and call it ā€œThe Color Orange.ā€

      The last time a guy wrote about his ā€œlifeā€™s strugglesā€ in jail, not long after a failed coup, things didnā€™t turn out so good for us. Lets not give this magalomaniac any more ideas or access to writing materials if he ever sees the inside of a jail cell.

      Iā€™m sure people have been making ā€œorange is the new blackā€ jokes for a while now.

      If the script includes how he gets discriminated against unfairly he could steal the name Orange is the new Black
