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.”

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.

You can get a taste of the taunting below.
