Desperate Trump Abandoned by Rich Friends, Begs for Money to Pay Fines: A Closer Look

-Donald Trump is drowning financially and begging people for

money

as he struggles to pay the legal

fines

he owes from his civil fraud trial, and now a trial date has been set for his hush

case. To learn more about this, it's time for a

. ♪♪ Today was a big legal day for Donald Trump, and I know I say it a lot, but it's also true. First, he appeared in a Manhattan courtroom for his hush money case, where a judge ruled that the trial would begin April 15, and Trump was unusually reserved when he arrived. That's all?

He's starting to sound like a burned-out hypnotist. "You're really sleepy. It's okay. You're a chicken now. Thank you." You know it's bad when he can't even stop and rant for 45 minutes about Sleepy Joe or Hunter's laptop or windmills. He just goes through the motions of a couple of catchphrases and walks away. It's like seeing a depressed Buzz Lightyear in Times Square smoking a cigarette. "To infinity and beyond. Now give me five dollars and I'm done." Trump also received a lifeline today from an appeals court, which ruled that he has ten days to post $175 million bail, which is still huge, but less than the total $454 million in

fines

he owes for his trial. for civil fraud.

Authorities in New York were preparing to seize Trump's properties if he couldn't get the cash, which set him off. Shortly after midnight, Trump posted this incomprehensible rant on social media... "Nurtue." Crazy about that part. That's a lot of words, so we translated Trump into English, and this is what it means... "I don't have the money. Frowning face emoji." All of this debunks the central myth of Trump's life and career. As you may recall, one of the first things Trump told us about himself when he announced his campaign in 2015 was that we could trust him to be independent because he didn't need anyone else's money. -This is the good news: I am very

rich

.

I don't need anyone's money. It is nice. I don't need anyone's money. I'm using my own money. I'm not using lobbyists. I'm not using donors. I don't mind. I don't want his money. I don't need your money. I'm turning down millions of dollars for the campaign... millions. Everyone offers me money and I don't want it. So I'm turning down millions of dollars. -"I'm turning down millions of dollars and I definitely won't regret it." As a general rule, if you're the type of person who knowingly breaks laws and commits fraud, you probably shouldn't go around bragging that you'll never need anyone's money.

It's like Alaska Airlines flight attendants are saying, "In case of an emergency, who are we kidding? Nothing bad is going to happen. This is a Boeing airplane." Of course, Trump not accepting money was not true at the time. Trump raised millions in 2016. This is especially false now that he and his allies are on TV all the time, asking for money. -I ask you very humbly if you could contribute five, 10 or even 25 dollars. If you could contribute, if you've done well, if you remember those four fantastic years we had when you won a lot, we need your help. -You need to help this man, Donald J.

Trump. They're trying to suck it dry. Give the president some money to fight this bull. Get up and help the man. Pray for our country. Pray for him. Go to DonaldJTrump.com and give money so he can defend himself. America is literally at stake as we know it. I'm sorry to be so upset, but please help President Trump. If you can afford 5 or 10 dollars, if you can't afford a dollar, that's fine. He just prays. Pray for this country. Pray for this president. And if you have money to give, give it to them. -This is the worst ASPCA commercial I have ever seen.

Also, No I think the pills work when you take them with a mint julep, you old hag. I have to get back to what I'm doing now. I know they stopped laughing about that. I have ears like you, mom. Because it's the 1500th show and I can do it. whatever he wants. I know we won't make a big deal out of it.

Nobody knows except me. Wait, no, no, no. Trump is asking for money because no one else will help him, not even his

rich

friends

on Wall Street. says that, it comes from Fox News. -So far, none of your billionaire

friends

are contributing money, as I understand it. -What's behind their reluctance? -Well, it's like that from now on. Let's see, it could change. -Are you afraid of not seeing him soon? The money, if the appeal is successful? -Yes, that's one thing. Overall, Donald doesn't have a great track record of making payments to banks over the years. -Which is the reason?

Are they afraid of never seeing the money again? -I have no idea what the exact reason is for him. -Do you want me to apply here? -Sure. -I just think they don't believe they're going to get the money back from him. -Yeah. No no . He would have a better chance of getting the money back from him with a crusher. Donald Trump has criticized contractors, banks, employees, the government and his own lawyers. Anyone hoping to receive the money Trump owes them ends up looking like this. I mean, seriously, listen to this part again. -Overall, Donald does not have a great history of payments to banks over the years. -"Generally." Imagine applying for a loan. "And just one last question, are you the kind of person who gives people their money back?" "Generally not." "It's okay.

What happens sporadically?" "Also, no. I don't like that part." Things are so bad for Trump that his friends are now openly begging the rich to give money on television. Here's former Trump economic adviser Larry Kudlow asking Shark Tank billionaire Kevin O'Leary to lend Trump the money. Notice how O'Leary completely ignores the question. -Now I was wondering, if he cannot reach the Supreme Court, will they lend him the 460 million dollars? - You know... - Just to help, to protect the name of the United States? Think of it that way. -To get bail... he was able to get more than 90 million from Schwab. -Yeah. -I don't know of any bonus of more than 90 million, I don't remember any.

That's why you need cash to back bond insurance. And now we're talking about "asset seizure" terminology, which is actually... strange language for an American investor. -Lending Donald Trump half a billion dollars wouldn't even be a good business plan on a show called "Tank," although shame on Kudlow for not knowing that when you have a shark in front of you you can't just ask for it. money. You have to present the product to them. Maybe that's Trump's next move. He could bring in Lindsey Graham as his partner. "And now let me introduce you to my business partner, Lindsey.

Lindsey, would you like to say a word to the sharks?" -If you have money to give, give it to them. -"The callback worked, Meemaw! Yeah, who's laughing now, Meemaw?" "Uh-oh, who stayed quiet?" Trump has been forced to beg donors and friends for money because no financial institution will give him the amount he owes. Over the weekend, his son, Eric Trump, explained the reaction he has had when he tries to borrow money. -Every person, when I approached them and said, "Hey, can I get a half a billion dollar bonus?" Maria, they laughed. They were laughing. -Were they laughing at the amount or were they laughing at you?

Did they laugh after you asked them or did it start when you walked in? Like when you, Eric Trump, asked them for half a billion dollars for your father, who usually doesn't pay people back? Did they get up, walk to the door, open it, and shout to the rest of the office, "Hey everyone, come in! You have to see this!" And then they pulled out their phone, hit record, and said, "Okay, now say it again. I want to send this to 'America's Funniest Home Videos.'" Trump is so

desperate

to get the money that he is even gutting the money.

Republican National Committee to install his loyalists and keep the money. -Donald Trump's allies have ordered mass layoffs at the Republican National Committee. It comes just days after Trump allies, including his daughter-in-law, took over the Republican National Committee. Headlines calling it a bloodbath and a mafia-like takeover. -Trump's own daughter-in-law is now co-chair of the Republican National Committee, and is serving a mandate to divert RNC committee spending away from down-ballot races, for example, toward issues important to her and her father-in-law. law: Trump's various legal fees. -Every penny will go to the Republican National Committee's number one and only task: electing Donald J.

Trump as president of the United States. -And when he says every cent, he means every cent. Trump will go from office to office, taking change out of everyone's pockets. He will bring his heavy Lindsey Graham with him to intimidate people. "I'm going to break your knuckles if you don't contribute. So if you have money to give..." -Give it to me. -This has been a
