Donald Trump Using Bail Bondsman Rings Alarm Bells About His Finances

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

Newsweek
@uspolitics His billions are in like stocks and real estate. He needs cold hard cash. A lot of billionaires don't have that much cold hard cash on hand, surprisingly.

@uspolitics stupid pol ranting. Newsweek is so far down the reputation ladder these days

Why would someone pay 200k when they could get away with paying only 20k? It's entirely normal...and as it says in the article, he's famously cheap.

The E. Jean Carroll case is apples v oranges. He had to put up 100% of the amount, no option for just 10%. That he couldn't / didn't get loan there is just evidence of his credit rating not his liquidity.
