> [@PhillyGuy](#): > > He was indicted late on August 14, after banks were closed, so he couldn’t get $20,000 that day. Oh for God’s sake. It’s not like he had to go hat in hand to the local credit union. He’s a billionaire. He could have $20,000 or $200,000 delivered to him at any hour of the day. Edit: Please link to any post you’ve made in the past that expressed concern about how challenging cash bail is for defendants. It seems to me that this may be a relatively recent concern for some reason. ---

_"And I’ll tell you, people were crying, people that worked there — professionally work there — that have no problems putting in murderers and they see everybody. It’s a tough, tough place,” Trump continued. “And, they were crying, they were actually crying. They said ‘I’m sorry,’ they’d say, ‘2024 sir,’ and tears were pouring down. I’ve never seen anything like that.”_ ---

CBS station in Boston is interrupting _Jeopardy!_ to cover this. That’s not the biggest reason to hate Trump, but it doesn’t help. ---

He could have $20,000 delivered to him at any hour of the day. When you said he’s not a billionaire, I believed you. He’s probably way less than a billionaire. And most banks don’t want his business.

Earth. But that was twenty years ago. Seriously, CNN is reporting that the weight comes from some forms that Trump had to fill out. So he self-reported his weight. ---

To be fair, Trump could have filled out the forms that included his height and weight … back in the 70’s … for … for just such an eventuality. Maybe there was a moment there where he _did_ have a modicum of self-awareness – in the heavy blow, Studio 54 days.
