Trump Finds $175 Million Bond Backer in 'King of Subprime Auto Loans' Billionaire Don Hankey

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Asked why Trump didn't simply pay the award himself, he said the transaction allows Trump to collect interest if the $175 million is invested in a money market or other allowable investment vehicle while being held in a trust account pending appeal.
53% : The advantage Donald Trump has in putting up cash in collateral for a bond is that he can continue to earn interest on the deposited cash while the legal case unfolds, whereas if he had posted the cash bond himself that money would have been effectively out of reach for as long as it took this case to reach a conclusion.
51% : His wife has also donated to Trump.
46% : While Hankey is a Trump supporter and donor, he said Tuesday in an interview with the Daily Mail that he has not met Trump personally.
41% : The RealClearPolitics average as of this writing shows former President Trump ahead of President Biden by one point, with Trump leading the way in all key swing states.
38% : Hankey departed from an earlier report that said Trump provided collateral in cash and investment grade bonds.
29% : He said he said he didn't have any concerns about lending to Trump, who declared bankruptcy over his Atlantic City casinos decades ago.
26% : 'I'd never met Donald Trump.
26% : I have never met Donald Trump, nor talked to him on the phone,' said Hankey.
16% : Donald Trump is still polling ahead of President Biden in most surveys, his legal issues notwithstanding.
