Send cash, he’s down to his last 500 million
Trump admits – or rather brags – that he has the money. He just doesn’t want to spend it. He wants other people to do that, like the many gullible people who respond to his pleas for cash for his “campaign” (his campaign to make everyone else pay his expenses, that would be).
Former President Donald Trump claimed early Friday morning that he has “almost” $500 million in cash, undercutting his lawyers’ claims that he would not be able to comply with the $464 million judgment against him and his co-defendants in the civil fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
You’d think he wouldn’t want to claim that, seeing as how he is at the same time demanding $$$ from his gullible fan base.
“Through hard work, talent, and luck, I currently have almost five hundred million dollars in cash, a substantial amount of which I intended to use in my campaign for president,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social in all caps. “The often overturned political hack judge on the rigged and corrupt A.G. case, where I have done nothing wrong, knew this, wanted to take it away from me, and that’s where and why he came up with the shocking number which, coupled with his crazy interest demand, is approximately $454,000,000.”
Therefore, kindly send me cash now. Hurry up.
Trump hasn’t contributed any of his own money to his presidential campaigns since 2016. He had floated in 2020 that he’d personally spend what it took to win re-election, but did not do so.

Earlier this week, Trump’s presidential campaign asked his supporters for money in a fundraising memo, which said, “Insane radical Democrat AG Letitia James wants to SEIZE my properties in New York. THIS INCLUDES THE ICONIC TRUMP TOWER!”
Rich crook tells people to donate money to him.
Maybe he raked in a fortune from his tacky ‘No Surrender’ hi-top sneakers. Oh, hang on….no he didn’t.

Loyal Trumpists should at this point be converting their assets to cash and donating the lot of it to the Trump cause. At the very least, the deal should include being photographed in front of the golden Trump Tower with Trump on one side and say, Stormy Daniels on the other. And all set in a gold-painted picture frame. What a gift to hand on to descendants down the generations that would be.!
You’d also think he wouldn’t want to admit that, at the same time that he’s representing in filed official briefs before the Appellate Department (the intermediate appellate court in New York) that he doesn’t have that very same money to post into court to stay execution of the judgment. He just stabbed his appellate attorneys in the back.
He’s a lying liar. That’s what he does; that’s who he is.
Didn’t he also stab himself in the back at the same time? I mean if he’s running around shouting that he has half a billion dollars to play with doesn’t that implicate HIM even more than it does his lawyers?
Yes. He’s made sure he’s going to lose on his request for a stay without bond or deposit. He didn’t stab himself in the back; he stabbed himself in the front.
Excellent.
This has been a recurring theme with Trump.
He simply says whatever is most convenient/flattering to him in the moment in any situation, unburdened by any sense of obligation to the truth or desire for consistency. Generally he gets away with it. Judges, however, have an annoying habit of expecting people to actually tell the truth, and not liking it when a litigant is running around saying one thing outside the courtroom and another thing inside it.
I look forward to further developments.
