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.

    Depending on how long it is until hed get the deposit back, they money may be better off invested.

    I don’t know the schedule, but I think it’s supposed to be expedited because of the upcoming election. But if Trump is successful in stalling it, who knows how long that money would be tied up.

    IMO he’s probably planning on playing games and no showing, but it may make sense financially too depending on their plan

      Funny, I just said basically the same thing to someone else. Yeah, if he pushes it out a couple years, he’d really make more investing it.

        Yep. I’d say that no matter what, it’s a bad idea to do business w Trump, but it may be worth 20 or 200k to the bail bondsman for the notoriety
