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.

    The orange shitstain clearly has been leveraging debt for decades.

    But this is not at all a surprise. Why would he pay? Get a loan and then count on the secret service to prevent him from ever having to pay

                Guys, murder is wrong. We should take the time to consider that they’re human beings!

                Chemical castration is a much more humane strategy. Come on guys. Do better.

                  Eh, I don’t know about that path. They are already an army of small-dick energy, I can’t fathom the power levels they reach by further reducing their sense of manliness.

          And while it is unlikely he remembers anything of value… That he has not already given away, he theoretically is still full of the most sensitive of information. And kidnapping… Or asking putin for a lift, is a thing

          He is being seem as a martyr right now for just being charged with crimes, so being a literal martyr wouldn’t be any worse. It isn’t like he stood for something that would keep going, the only momentum his shitty followers have is seeing more of him on TV.

          That said, I would rather keep the ss protection so he can rot in jail.

          Pretty much. Lock him in an isolated prison cell, being guarded by Secret Service members with Top Secret clearance. It’s the only way to prevent him from blabbing Top Secret intel to whichever prison guards will listen.

        No way. It’s not worth him getting assassinated by some lunatic. Honestly even if he’s successfully indicted he should be on house arrest. Lock his pudgy arse up but he has to be kept safe for obvious reason.

          He will likely get house arrest, if only for the optics.

          But he would be safer in a white collar prison than basically anywhere else. And the secret service wouldn’t have to cover up him constantly breaking his house arrest

      That’s not how bail bonds work. If you use a bail bondsman, you pay a non-refundable fee (10% of the bail amount) upfront.

      If he had the money, he should have paid the full bail himself. That amount is fully refunded so long as he appears to court.

      I think that’s correct…I’m not a bail bondsman and I’ve never used one, but I did watch Dog the Bounty Hunter once or thirty times
