#EricTrump makes a request for a $454 million dollar bond.

#Bail #Bonds people sit at a table laughing together for several minutes.

One of them finally stops laughing long enough to wipe sweat from his brow.

He speaks.

“I’m sorry…(he waits to catch a breath).

“Have you tried asking your real father… (again, pauses, takes breath and blurts out)…Gary Busey?”

Once again, the entire table of #bailbondsmen double over in laughter.

Eric Trump stares ahead, dumbfounded.
