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.

      No, that would be letting him off the hook too easy. i wish he had to answer for his crimes and die at age 105 in jail with not a single dime to his name, with mandatory daily therapy sessions so he can start recognizing the damage heā€™s done and feel remorse.

        More importantly, it letā€™s other people like him get off easy if he isnā€™t convicted to set a precedent. I donā€™t care if he lives or dies. I care about the rest of those snakes.

        With the threat he poses, Iā€™m fine with that. Pay him millions to go to Russia if it means he drops off the face of the Earth with regards to socials and politics.

      Iā€™d rather he had a Game of Thrones-esque ending before that eventuality happened. He should watch everything he ever got in life get torn from him bit by bit first, before having some totally mediocre ending on a toilet seat shitting himself.

        That is how I felt about the game of thrones ending, I loved that show and the books and the I watched it all get torn away by the writers in the last season and felt like I died alone shitting on a toilet. Youā€™re right, that would be worse.
