A licensed bonding company may not want to deal with TFG, known to stiff people he owes money to.

Mr. Trump is also a unique defendant: He is the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, and if he reclaims the White House, it could be difficult for the bonding company to collect from a sitting president, particularly one who has stiffed lenders and lawyers in the past.

In short, they would ask for the largest fee and significant collateral.

I would imagine anyone making that deal wouldn’t be looking for their money back but would instead be looking for patronage/corruption.

It's not bribery unless there is explicit quid pro quo in SCOTUS's book. Sparkling corruption is perfectly fine.

Yep if it's not that's because democracy is broken.

We need authoritarian governments according to the right!

I think many people (especially some groups of very online individuals) would love a dictator that would implement their policies of choice.

It's very much like Side-Show Bob's speech when he was running for mayor:
"Your guilty conscience may move you to vote Democratic, but deep down you long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king. That's why I did this, to protect you from yourselves."

To this very day it still amazes and confounds me how Trump can still be the Republican's overwhelming choice for leading the most powerful nation in the world. He has an equally overwhelming track record for being the nation's worst choice for the job given a plethora of irrefutable factual evidence to support that contention, any one of which would disqualify another potential candidate, especially if that person were running as a Democrat.

Yet here we are, with a majority of the population of 80+ million rejecting Trump as their leader over three years ago based on his proven incompetence and crippling personality disorders with another segment of the population of ~70 million in denial that Biden won fair and square because Trump, a known and proven pathological liar told them he was cheated and gave as evidence a mountain range of lies and disinformation.

In a world where logic and common sense should guide a person's decision making processes, especially one as important as choosing our top leader we have what looks like mass hysteria, spitefulness, hate and a case of grooming a segment of the population into a state of engineered denial that has frustrated them into relying on lies and disinformation as a means to mistakenly justify and reconcile their decision to support the worst choice possible for leading us into a future filled with imminent threats to our security.

Apologies for the rant, just trying to make sense of something that doesn't make sense at all.

edit - added "sense"

People recognize the symptoms of self hate even though they don't know it;s at cause or how it came into being for the individual and humanity. Real progress will not be possible until it is widely understood, but it's the last thing people want to see.

So while I admittedly don't know a whole lot about how business mergers work, and MAGAs make for a really poor source of Trump information. According to a bunch of them on YT YT Trump video comments. With this $4 billion Truth Social deal he has he'll easily be able to pay the $$$ and still have billions left over. While I don't believe it's quite that easy, a few have assured me it is. One even told me Trump would "laugh" at the Dems when he paid the $400 million like it was nothing. I don't see a greedy ass like Trump laughing at giving away $400 million, but what do I know? lol.

The deal hasn't even gone thru, but it looks like it will, and it looks like it'll be a boatload of cash. When the MAGAs were yammering on about this I was laughing because it sounded so insane. I figured they were just making shit up as usual. But out of boredom I Googled it and apparently, his Twitter knock off is actually worth a lot and there is a deal for billions on the table for him. I'm confused at this deal, while I've never even used it. Everything from a non MAGA source I've heard is Truth Social is a joke of a site and has been bleeding money since day 1. But he's about to hit pay dirt.

So it would appear this snake actually has an out here.

Many MAGAs are also claiming if the state starts taking assets from him now, when he finally wins the appeal (which he will 100%) They'll have to give all the $$$ back with 9% interest. They seem to know a lot about how the legal system works, definitely more than the whole NY court system that's behind this case. And Trump will get the last laugh and the state will end up having to give him a ton of $$$. So according to their logic, the state taking his assets will be a good thing for Trump in the end. I don't know how they perform these mental gymnastics, but it's fascinating that they're able to twist every bad predicament he's in into one where he comes out on top lol.
