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.

    Simply based off of his track history of not paying his debts I wouldn’t take on a single contract or loan with this person. We have a local business owner who doesn’t pay his contractors. It’s well known locally so he always has to hire out of county to get work done because everyone knows he will screw you over. Trump is no different.

      You’re absolutely right but Trump or someone working on his behalf clearly is getting people to offer their services, in spite of his reputation of not paying out significant bills for services he clearly received. How he’s getting these services is beyond me, perhaps some under the table or side deals offered as a sweetener upfront, or maybe in private he’s actually a smooth an elegant talker? I doubt it but I’ve never been in the same room as him or his business associates, so at this point anything is possible.
