Trump Math

In re-reading Trump's latest sociopathic screed, I realize what he might be saying is even stupider and more desperate than I had thought. He seems to be saying he HAS the $400M+ in cash, BUT he shouldn't have to use it for the judgment, because he did nothing wrong, and needs…

 Trump said in a deposition that he had $400 million in cash on hand.

Now he says he has $500 million.

His lawyers say he doesn’t have the money:

His lawyers clarified that statement to me this morning, saying Trump was referring to the cash he has made through running his business, which he has disclosed on his campaign forms," Scannell told host Jim Acosta. "But that's not the actual amount of cash that he currently has on hand."

Trump says he needs the money for his campaign. But a court didn’t order him to run for President. It did order him to pay damages.

I do like the idea he had $400 million on hand, ready to spend, and now, despite posting $96 million in bonds for two appeals, he has $500 million in cash, ready to spend. Is he really the head of a drug cartel?

Anyway, you can’t make him pay the judgment because that’s unfair. And he’s broke. But no, he’s rich! He’s really, really rich!🤑 

But it’s his money and you can’t have it! Unfair! Unfair!!

And please send him money. He’s doing this for you.
