Eric Trump Melts Down And Says Bond Companies Laughed At Him




Eric Trump Melts Down And Says Bond Companies Laughed At Him
Jason Easley Eric Trump, Top News Sun, Mar 24th, 2024
Eric Trump said on Fox News that bonding companies laughed at him when he went to them and asked for a $454 million bond.


Trump said on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures:

The number should be zero. My father’s running a great company. I run a great company. We’ve never had a default, we’ve never missed a payment, we’ve never been in a breach of covenant. Every single one of our letters came out. He goes out, and the judge comes out and says I take disgorgement. I want to take interest rates that you paid on mortgages and put it up to 10, 11, 12% and go back 20 years, and we already won this in the appellate court. There’s a statute of limitation, that 99% of what he put in there is thrown out. But, Maria, this isn’t about this, this is lawfare.

They want to hurt my father who is winning the presidential race right now. He’s beating Biden in every single poll in every single swing state. He — single swing states. He wants to put hundreds of millions of dollars of his own money into his campaign, how do they deprive him of that? They have that judge on the screen right there come up with an astronomical number, give you zero time to post a bond, a bond that’s not even commercially available in the United States.

snip//





The bonding companies laughed at Eric Trump because he and his father don’t have the assets required to secure the bond. No company is going to cover that large of an appeal without knowing that they aren’t going to lose their money, and any company backing Trump is going to lose their money.

Eric Trump’s lie filled meltdown included not telling the truth about the number of victims of the Trump fraud. Every single taxpayer in New York was a victim of Trump’s decades long fraud to avoid paying his fair share.

If you're a surety company issuing an appeal bond you don't want to be stuck holding the bag if the appeal fails and the defendant doesn't pay up. They know damn well he doesn't have $450M in cash no matter what he says, and that all his real estate is encumbered. So of course they laughed.

Trump Lawyer: Can you issue an appeal bond for Donald Trump's fraud case? We need to cover $450M.
Underwriter, Company #1: You want what? Hahahahahahahaha! *snort* Hahahahahaha! *gasp* Hahahahahaha! You're kidding, right?

Trump Lawyer: We really need an appeal bond for Trump's fraud case, it's only $450M, and he's got a lot of real estate.
Underwriter, Company #2: Hahahahahahahaha! *snort* Yeah, no. When monkeys fly out of my ass.

*****

Trump Lawyer: We're running out of time! Trump needs an appeal bond for $450M by next Monday. He's good for it, really!
Underwriter, Company #30: Hahahahahahahaha! Fuck, no, dude; if my aunt had wheels she'd be a pastry cart.

And I'm reading the sick fuck's "Truth" Social claim about having half a billion in cash in a whole new light... that he's just pretending to not post bond because he prefers to spend the cash on campaigning, instead.

Guy is brain damaged.
I get they had separate entities, but 6 or 7 businesses went bankrupt! Never been in default? I think the banks & bond companies know that all those separate entities were owned by the same guy.
Never missed a payment? Maybe to a specific bank, but his daddy is known for beating bills.
He's lying, stupid, delusional, or he doesn't know what those words mean. Could be elements of all 4, I guess.

He is a rapist a liar and a cheater, and a traitor to the United States. We have every right to hate him if we have any right to hate anybody. I’m pretty sure the casinos went bankrupt because he was laundering Russian money through them. He got away with that he doesn’t understand why I can’t get away with this

It isn't that he can't come up with $464M. Any corporation or high wealth person isn't going to have that kind of readily available liquidity around. The wealth is on the balance sheet, not cash sitting in a bank. Of course he's out shopping for a loan. That's how big finance works.

The real tell here is that NOBODY trusts the Trumps anymore. NOBODY. And I can about guarantee you some of their go to finance people really did laugh in their faces. It looks like even the Russians are telling Trump to go sell steaks door to door.
