    Think this was because of the bait by the Biden team calling him broke?

    Or does he actually have it, suddenly, and the state auditor is surprised at this couch money, in foreign denominations?

      Or, he is double-dog-daring the DA to find out where the cash is and take it, and since he says it is “intended to fund his campaign”, he will then double down on the lie that it is all ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!1!11!!1!one!

      The DA will be pre-disposed to seize cash, since it’s value is not subject to appraisal.

        “Through hard work, talent, and luck, I currently have almost five hundred million dollars in cash, a substantial amount of which I intended to use in my campaign for president,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social in all caps. “The often overturned political hack judge on the rigged and corrupt A.G. case, where I have done nothing wrong, knew this, wanted to take it away from me, and that’s where and why he came up with the shocking number which, coupled with his crazy interest demand, is approximately $454,000,000.”

        Except it’s not up to the DA to find the cash. Come the 25th. He either hands it over or they’re going after whatever they can get their hands on the easiest.

        They aren’t going to go looking. They’re going to take whatever is in plain sight.
