Bullshit walks.

            Money talks, bullshit walks.[1]  A proverb.[2]  Insert lies for walks and it’s a better fit.[3] 

            Is the help wearing rain suits at Mar a Lago?  There has got to be a lot of ketchup flying across the room.

            It’s crunch time for the rapist Trump.  His bond of a half a billion dollars for the fraud civil suit is due Monday.  His lawyers filed a lengthy appeal saying that Trump does not have the money and has been unable to secure funding that is required.  They gave lots of excuses.  Trump promptly claimed in all caps that he has the money and that the people besting him are stupid.[4] 

BTW Trump’s lawyers have already filed an appeal of the fraud sentence.  The bond is necessary if he wants to keep his properties from being seized in payment of the judgement, while awaiting the results of the appeal.  If he wins on appeal the money will be returned.

            I think that Trump will come up with the bond money.  Why?  Frankly the man would sell his soul, if he had one, to hang onto his material possessions.  There are any number of bad actors that are in all probability considering doing that.  Imagine having a President ‘bought and paid for’ ‘in one’s back pocket.’[5] [6]  It’s also a possibility that a billionaire buddy that isn’t a Russian oligarch could put up the money.  Perhaps Jared and Ivanka could lend him some of the hundreds of millions that they made from their Trump connections made while he was in office. 

            The only difficulty of providing the cash will be technical.  Moving/transferring that amount of money will require some financial two-stepping designed to keep things ‘on the down low.’[7]  (I may have used one cliché too many.)  The money trail won’t necessarily reveal the real source of the funds. 

            There’s going to be lots of headlines this weekend about Trump’s getting the money.  Will he or won’t he?  He’s got the money![8]  He doesn’t got the money![9]  He’ll have the money soon![10]  Just a couple of more days!

Stay tuned!
