Trump hallucinating that he has won his fraud appeal already [View all]

If you haven't seen the wall of crazy that Trump put out on "Truth Social" when it became clear no one trusts him enough to lend him the money for the bond to appeal his New York fraud judgement, it's quite an eye-opener. It's as unhinged as anything he's ever produced. It's like a nutter on a street corner rambling about how 'They' took all his money, and are to blame for everything in his life. If a relative wrote you a letter like this, you'd contact doctors about treatment and care for them. He claims he has already won his appeal, for some reason:

In another, he falsely claimed that Judge Arthur Engoron is breaking precedent by ordering the bond be paid before a defendant enters the appeal process. He “wants me to put up the ridiculous fine (I DID NOTHING WRONG!) before I get a chance to Appeal his crazed ruling – A first!” Trump wrote.

In reality, appeal security bonds are a common practice in civil courts throughout the country. The bond essentially guarantees that the individual would be able to pay the amount owed should they lose their appeal, and helps prevent individuals from indefinitely skirting penalties by delaying the enforcement of an order through the appeals process.
...
“Judge Engoron actually wants me to put up Hundreds of Millions of Dollars for the Right to Appeal his ridiculous decision. In other words, he is trying to take my Appellate Rights away from me when I have already won at the Appellate Division, but he refuses to accept their already made decision,” Trump claimed.

Trump has not won an appeal on the case. In fact, several appeals submitted by his legal team before the final judgment were overturned or denied by New York courts, with other motions filed during the trial remaining unresolved.

He's not fit to be in charge of a golf cart, let alone a country. And he is, of course, a rapist.
