Donald Trump reportedly used a bail bondsman after being arrested at Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday, paying $20,000 of his bond set at $200,000 and taking out a loan for the rest of it. The fact that the former president resorted to such a measure has sparked questions on social media about the state of his finances.

          The cult must die.

          I’d prefer the Flavoraid method but a full generation of deprogramming may have to do.

                Guys, murder is wrong. We should take the time to consider that they’re human beings!

                Chemical castration is a much more humane strategy. Come on guys. Do better.

                  Eh, I don’t know about that path. They are already an army of small-dick energy, I can’t fathom the power levels they reach by further reducing their sense of manliness.

          He is being seem as a martyr right now for just being charged with crimes, so being a literal martyr wouldn’t be any worse. It isn’t like he stood for something that would keep going, the only momentum his shitty followers have is seeing more of him on TV.

          That said, I would rather keep the ss protection so he can rot in jail.

          Pretty much. Lock him in an isolated prison cell, being guarded by Secret Service members with Top Secret clearance. It’s the only way to prevent him from blabbing Top Secret intel to whichever prison guards will listen.

        No way. It’s not worth him getting assassinated by some lunatic. Honestly even if he’s successfully indicted he should be on house arrest. Lock his pudgy arse up but he has to be kept safe for obvious reason.

      That’s not how bail bonds work. If you use a bail bondsman, you pay a non-refundable fee (10% of the bail amount) upfront.

      If he had the money, he should have paid the full bail himself. That amount is fully refunded so long as he appears to court.

      I think that’s correct…I’m not a bail bondsman and I’ve never used one, but I did watch Dog the Bounty Hunter once or thirty times
