Trumps Humiliating $454 Million Bond Fiasco Shows Deep 2024 Weakness

Published: March 19, 2024, 8 a.m.

b'This week, Donald Trump\\u2019s lawyers\\xa0admitted\\xa0that he\\u2019s failed to secure a bond to cover the half-a-billion-dollar penalty he faces in his civil fraud case in New York. As\\xa0The New York Times\\xa0delicately\\xa0noted, \\u201che does not have enough liquidity\\u201d to persuade any company to provide that bond. Translation: He doesn\\u2019t have the cash. This is humiliating to Trump, relative to his self-mythology. But it also points to his broader, largely-overlooked weaknesses in the 2024 campaign. We discussed this with\\xa0The New Republic\\u2019s Timothy Noah, author of a\\xa0great new piece\\xa0on Trump\\u2019s financial travails that predicts he will soon declare bankruptcy.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
