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.

    If he was going to skip town, why would he even show up to get processed? Also, skipping town for the trial would add more charges and they would arrest him the second he stepped back on US soil. It’s not like he travels under the radar… he has a plane with his name on it. His campaign for 2024 would be over if he doesn’t show up. It also implies guilt, that he is running and hiding from something.

    This seems low risk for the bail bondsman. It’s too high profile.
