"Why did Trump need a bail bondsman if he's a billionaire?" some asked on social media.

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 feels that he really goes to jail I don’t think he will care about 2024 anymore. And he doesn’t have to leave in his own plane. He still has people who are willing to help him.

        In any case I’m sure the bondsman is also his fan and probably wouldn’t even mind losing the money.

            I think we are greatly underestimating him. The fact that he still isn’t in jail shows that he isn’t that dumb (I don’t believe in luck). In fact playing dumb is what helped him get out of many difficult situations.
