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.

    He’s got 24/7 secret service protection just like every former president. I don’t think there’s any way he can actually flee unless he can flat out refuse secret service protection, which I’m sure he already knows is a significant risk to his personal security so he probably won’t.

    Honestly I strongly suspect he’s going to try to drag out every charge for as long as possible, use every legal and illegal tactic he can to avoid actually being sentenced to more than a fine, then if he ever sees actual jail time he’ll commit suicide. I can’t see him pulling a Skreli and doing a few months with his head low before getting out on good behavior

      Why would protection service limit his movement? He can just jump to his private plane and fly to Russia. He definitely will extend this BS as long as possible and collect money from gullible people to “fund” his defence (meaning that he pockets the money)
