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 Newss Sunday Morning Futures:
They want to hurt my father who is winning the presidential race right now. Hes 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 thats not even commercially available in the United States.

The bonding companies laughed at Eric Trump because he and his father dont have the assets required to secure the bond. No company is going to cover that large of an appeal without knowing that they arent going to lose their money, and any company backing Trump is going to lose their money.
Eric Trumps 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 Trumps decades long fraud to avoid paying his fair share.

(115,732 posts)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.

We'll find out tomorrow, won't we?

(23,322 posts)that a bond of this size wasnt available in the US. Is he foreshadowing that theyll get this money from outside of the United States? 🤔

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.

(31,028 posts)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. Im pretty sure the casinos went bankrupt because he was laundering Russian money through them. He got away with that he doesnt understand why I cant get away with this

(6,685 posts)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.

You and your bro both owe $5 M.
Daddy isn't paying that. So you paying up or is James grabbing you by the assets?
