IF THERE'S ONE thing Donald Trump hates more than losing an election, it's people thinking he isn't as rich as he claims he is.

On Monday, lawyers for the former president indicated he had been unable to secure the $464 million bond needed to appeal a massive New York civil fraud ruling against him and his company. The filing revealed that 30 underwriters declined to back the bond, which was worth 130 percent of the $355 million civil fraud judgment leveled against him and the Trump Organization in February.
Trump is pissed, and spent much of Monday night and Tuesday morning raging on Truth Social.
“The Bonding Companies have never heard of such a bond, of this size, before, nor do they have the ability to post such a bond, even if they wanted to,” he wrote in one post.
In another, he falsely claimed that Judge Arthur Engoron is breaking precedent by ordering the bond to be paid before a defendant enters the appeal process. He “wants me to put up the ridiculous fine (I DID NOTHING WRONG!) before I get a chance to Appeal his crazed ruling – A first!” Trump wrote.
