‘Don Poorleone’ memes were trending on social media, one day before Donald Trump must post nearly half a billion dollar bond payment or have assets seized

    At what time of day is the actual deadline?

      The “deadline” is tomorrow whenever. If he doesn’t post a bond tomorrow, the state can begin proceedings to seize assets. Likely the first step will be to get a court order probibiting Trump from selling off or giving away any assets, which he will fight tooth and nail. The process could take months or years, and if he is elected president he can make that money ten times over selling more state secrets.

        How many classified documents does Trump have to sell to Russia to make back the 500m?

          If he was a smooth criminal, one. But in reality Putin will take advantage of his stupidity and ask for them all.

          The President can declassify anything, apparently, so he wouldn’t need to sell any classified documents, just ask for bids on which to declassify.

            Some say he can declassify just by thinking about it!

      He’ll end up paying it. It’s been a slow news week.

        The real question is - how is Putin going to funnel the money to him?

          The same way he sold secrets to the Saudis through a $2 billion “investment” in an unskilled, unqualified relative.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
