Trump is probably using the best assets as collateral or security on loads already.

I think Trump will go for a 'behind bars' campaign ad. He'll be asking for guns and money.

Lawyers, guns, and money.

Why Won’t Rich Republicans Loan Money to Upstanding Businessman Donald Trump? My theory is that Trump is, in fact, a crook.
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/arti...cans-loan.html

Quote:
...while those wealthy Republicans are happy to vote for Trump again, their calculation is that he will get into office and enact a tax cut that will make them richer. If doing so requires them to loan money to a crook who lies about everything, including his finances, that changes the proposition. They would absorb the risk that there are other fraudulent evaluations in Trump’s portfolio, and that Trump might stiff them as he has previous lenders. In short, this would mean supporting Trump would probably lose them money, which is the opposite of their intent.

Of course, if I am wrong about all this, then Ken Langone or Elon Musk or Jeff Yass or some other Republican moneybags will soon step forward to loan Trump money in full confidence they can expect repayment.

But I don’t think I am wrong.

My guess is Trump will appeal to the "Nat C" rural voters for smaller campaign contributions, and another horde uprising.

People don't learn quickly, although they seem to more aware that they can be manipulated, duped, and face legal consequences for their own actions.

Until next Monday as the deadline looms, we can and should expect meltdowns like this.
Please, pas him the ketchup.

Quote:
“I 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!” Trump posted Tuesday morning.

“I shouldn’t have to put up any money, being forced by the Corrupt Judge and AG, until the end of the appeal. That’s the way system works!” he added, forgetting that he’s being held to the same standards as every private citizen.
And the moron is still going after Jimmy Kummel. Bad, very bad. Never pick on a good comedian, he will destroy and make money while he is at it.

Meh. I'd take Jimmy Fallon over Jimmy Kimmel any day, as far as being funny and entertaining.

Of course, I consider myself to be quite the comedian as well.

Kimmel is living rent free in Donny's head and Donny's giving him loads of new material almost daily for free.

Colbert is better than either of them. It is funny, however, how Kimmel has gotten into Trump and Pillow Guy's heads.
