Donald Trump has no idea how to post bond in the fraud trial—and he’s absolutely losing it.

In just shy of a week, Donald Trump’s $454 million judgment from his New York bank fraud trial will become collectible, either by way of liquid cash or financial assets—and it has officially sent Trump into meltdown mode.

The notoriously sleep-deprived GOP presidential nominee spent the better part of Monday night shouting into the void about the massive, half-billion-dollar judgment and his apparent inability to pay it off, bemoaning being required to follow the law before being allowed to appeal the case.

“I would be forced to mortgage or sell Great Assets, perhaps at Fire Sale prices, and if and when I win the Appeal, they would be gone. Does that make sense? WITCH HUNT. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!” Trump posted Tuesday morning.

“I shouldn’t have to put up any money, being forced by the Corrupt Judge and AG, until the end of the appeal. That’s the way system works!” he added, forgetting that he’s being held to the same standards as every private citizen.

    Poor guy, I feel really bad for him. Sure hope nothing else happens to ruin him. It’d be really bad if he was forced to go to jail too. On the bright side, at least he’d match the jumpsuit. Maybe he could write a script about his poor, difficult life and call it “The Color Orange.”

      The last time a guy wrote about his “life’s struggles” in jail, not long after a failed coup, things didn’t turn out so good for us. Lets not give this magalomaniac any more ideas or access to writing materials if he ever sees the inside of a jail cell.

      If the script includes how he gets discriminated against unfairly he could steal the name Orange is the new Black

      I’m sure people have been making “orange is the new black” jokes for a while now.
