Donald Trump and his lawyers say he’s having a hard time scraping together the $454 million dollars he was ordered to pay after he lost the civil fraud case in New York. (Or $464 or $600-ish million dollars, depending on how you count it.)
Never mind that in a deposition last year, Trump said he had way more than $400 million cash on hand.
For some odd reason, no one wants to lend a guy with a history of lying about property values (and everything else) a half-a-billion dollars.
It’s becoming more apparent that Trump’s current campaign for president is a do-or-die effort to head off painful legal penalties, settlements and even incarceration.
Which leads to his latest statement about a “blood bath” if he doesn’t win the presidency.
Sure, he may have been talking — in his usual stream-of-consciousness rage-spew — about tariffs, but the violence and desperation in everything he says on the campaign trail is growing even more threatening.
Meanwhile, Trump seems determined to bring back a “grave intelligence threat” as an adviser — Paul Manafort, you know, the guy who organized anti-Nato protests in Ukraine that led to attacks on U.S. Marines.
Sounds like he’s got all the right qualifications to serve in the next Trump administration.
