Yahoo News Social Media Mocks Trump After He Can't Post $464M Bond
Donald Trump caused quite a stir on social media Monday when his team told court officials that raising $464 million so he can appeal his civil fraud conviction is “a practical impossibility.”
The former president hasn’t commented on his inability to pay the bond, but the reaction on social media was mostly shock, snark and plenty of good old schadenfreude.
Many of those commenting noted that Trump’s statement to a New York state court basically revealed that he may not be as flush as he’s claimed to be.

If you can’t secure a $464M bond, not only are you not a billionaire, you have no billionaire friends, and no bank will touch you because you’re bad at business.

If you don’t want to pay the fine, then don’t do the crime. No one says he hast to get a bond. He could just put up the cash or collateral himself.https://t.co/wAYORBsMBS

I was told Trump was a billionaire and that's why he should be president.

If I were truly a billionaire and was ordered to pay a $464M dollar bond I would simply write the check. 🤔🤔

Dementia Donald doesn’t have the financial means to pay his $464M bond. So MAGATs, it’s time for you all to clean out your bank account, 401ks, and sell your trailer homes and bungalows for you cult leader. Do it, the leader needs you, he has done so much for you. pic.twitter.com/wdANq6V13U

So let me get that straight. A man that is well known for not paying his bills (lol billionaire my ass) isn’t able to find a company that is willing to lend him almost half a billion?
