For days, Donald Trump’s fury over the requirement to secure hundreds of millions of dollars in bond money by Monday has been bubbling behind the scenes and through a steady stream of social media posts.

Friday’s public barrage on his Truth Social platform, which included multiple all-caps posts, highlighted his persistent anger with the judge who handed down the $464 million judgment, the New York attorney general who brought the civil fraud case and Trump’s insistence that it’s all designed to derail his presidential campaign.

The posts, including one sent just before 2 a.m. Friday, contained a mix of invective and claims devoid of fact or evidence. (There is no evidence that the White House has played any role in the case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, let alone ordered her to pursue her effort. Nor is there any evidence that Trump, as he claimed, has plans to use any of his own money for his presidential campaign.)

But also embedded in the posts was a reality that has pushed Trump’s company and personal finances to the brink with just two days remaining to land a solution.

    You might be underestimating how much appeal the Donald Trump 2024 package has to the right investor donor:

    • Ethically flexible to an historic degree

    • In desperate financial straits

    • at the apex of his Cult of Personality (if not in numbers then in fervor)

    • on the cusp of consolidating power in what is already the most powerful office in the world

    I can think of a few people who wouldn’t mind being owed a favor by Donny - especially at the current likely going rate for favors.
