Donald Trump using bail bondsman rings alarm bells about his finances
"Why did Trump need a bail bondsman if he's a billionaire?" some asked on social media.
Donald Trump reportedly used a bail bondsman after being arrested at Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday, paying $20,000 of his bond set at $200,000 and taking out a loan for the rest of it. The fact that the former president resorted to such a measure has sparked questions on social media about the state of his finances.

His private jet (a Boeing 757) that flew him from Palm Beach to Atlanta for his booking....costs $15k to $18k per hour to operate, and it's a 2-hour flight each way (not counting warmup, taxi, and idle time waiting to takeoff). He basically dropped $60k+ for that flight. It doesn't make sense that he'd need the services of a bail bondsman when he's dropping $60k for plane rides, or maybe his campaign funds are paying to operate that jet - I wouldn't be surprised.
Someone else is paying it...?
