Donald Trump reportedly used a bail bondsman after being arrested at Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday, paying $20,000 of his bond set at $200,000 and taking out a loan for the rest of it. The fact that the former president resorted to such a measure has sparked questions on social media about the state of his finances.
The orange shitstain clearly has been leveraging debt for decades.
But this is not at all a surprise. Why would he pay? Get a loan and then count on the secret service to prevent him from ever having to pay
He needs to lose his SS protections. And any other benefit the presidency provides.
No way. It’s not worth him getting assassinated by some lunatic. Honestly even if he’s successfully indicted he should be on house arrest. Lock his pudgy arse up but he has to be kept safe for obvious reason.
He will likely get house arrest, if only for the optics.
But he would be safer in a white collar prison than basically anywhere else. And the secret service wouldn’t have to cover up him constantly breaking his house arrest
That’s not how bail bonds work. If you use a bail bondsman, you pay a non-refundable fee (10% of the bail amount) upfront.
If he had the money, he should have paid the full bail himself. That amount is fully refunded so long as he appears to court.
I think that’s correct…I’m not a bail bondsman and I’ve never used one, but I did watch Dog the Bounty Hunter once or thirty times
