Donald Trump received a pardon in the primaries on Monday when a panel of appeals judges reduced the $464 million bail he will have to pay to New York state to $175 million, giving him 10 more days to do so. The monetary scenario is still far from good, and one user who was very pleased to point it out this week (and essentially call Trump a ruined whiner) was Joe Biden.
Yes, at a fundraiser in Raleigh on Tuesday, the president, looking at some new equipment, told the crowd, “I know not everyone feels the enthusiasm. The other day a defeated guy came up to me and said, “Mr. President, I’m crushed by debt, absolutely destroyed. Then he paused and said, “I had to look at him and say, ‘I’m sorry, Donald, I can’t help you. ‘As the Washington Post reports, the joke “is emblematic of [Biden’s] crusade’s efforts to flip the script of the presidential race from the State of the Union address. “With immediate fundraising, an intense crusade and attacks on Trump’s finances, Biden is looking to debunk the belief that his crusade is losing steam and recommend that Trump be the weaker figure. Campaign aides reportedly began calling Trump a “broken Don” and a “low-energy Don,” while Biden-Harris HQ to spell out:

As for Trump’s monetary prospects, in addition to the many millions he would possibly owe to New York and publisher E. Jean Carroll, if his appeals in those cases fail, his crusade has only $33. 5 million in the bank, down from $71 million. Biden’s crusade is within reach. While Trump got a discount on paper when his social media company, Truth Social, went public on Tuesday, as the Post notes, he is barred from promoting his shares for six months, and in that time, they can also be worth a lot. less than they are today. (Plus, he has lawyers to pay for four separate offender cases. )Which would possibly explain why the least saintly user on Earth started selling Bibles for $59. 99 each.
By Politico:
The former president took to Truth Social on Tuesday to urge his followers to buy the “God Bless the USA Bible,” a $59. 99 Bible inspired by country singer Lee Greenwood’s song. “Happy Easter! Let’s make America pray again. As we approach Good Friday. “and Easter, I inspire you to get a copy of the God Bless the USA Bible,” Trump posted, linking to an article where the books appear. Although the cash from sales is not funneled to the Trump campaign, according to BibleArray Trump is in fact legal, meaning he is most likely profiting from it. on their terms,” the site states.
Trump has already sold trading cards, pieces of a suit he wore when he was the first former president to have his photo taken (with copies of the photo), designer sneakers for $399 and a stake in his social media company.
Trump doesn’t appear to have commented on Biden’s joke about his cash problems, but he’ll most likely lash out angrily when he finds the moment.
