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.

    All these dumb headlines and controversies are all based on the imaginations of the American wealthy who hold all the power.

    As long as they think Dump has any value or reason to be in politics … America will never get rid of him.

    Any other politician that would have even come close to half of what has happened so far, would have been forgotten a long long time ago.

      It’s not just people that agree with them either.

      The DNC and Hillary’s 2016 campaign were fucking stoked about trump and tried to find ways to help him shit on other Republicans.

      Because they knew when the only other option is trump, they can run as shitty candidate as they want and still have a shot.

      So far they’re 1/2, and I can’t believe they’re will to try it again. We’re wasting easy elections to get old out of touch “moderates” in office. We could just run a candidate that agrees with Dem voters and have a huge victory.

      But that pisses off wealthy donors, and since it cost over a billion dollars for Biden to barely beat trump last time, Biden and the DNC want to keep do ors happy.

      And they’re hoping voters won’t ask why we’re running a candidate that can’t beat trump for under a billion.
