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.

    I’m a little worried this is going to galvanize his base, but it is still deeply satisfying to watch his life collapse around him, especially knowing that the criminal trials haven’t even started yet.

      We have to get beyond the fear of pissing off his base. The sooner we do it the better. This shit head should have been held accountable years ago, but we were worried about his base, now look at the mess. It will only get worse. Its time to get to work.

        Yeah, I didn’t say don’t prosecute him, I said I was a little worried it might galvanize his base. It also might go the other way; it makes him look weak, and authoritarian strongmen can never look weak, plus it really dispels the myth of his vast wealth. But either way, pointing out this may be beneficial to Trump’s campaign doesn’t mean I said the civil/criminal trials against him should be dropped.

      We’re not gonna see the criminal trials before the election.

      Now if he doesn’t win, oh baby it’s gonna be juci
