Former President 👤Donald Trump elicited laughter from members of the media on Monday after he was asked a question about funding his presidential campaign.
When pressed about whether he would put more cash into his campaign for the White House, Trump told a reporter, “It’s none of your business.”
According to Fox News, Trump greeted reporters at his 40 Wall St. building in Manhattan after his New York civil business fraud trial bond was reduced by more than half, thanks to a ruling by an appellate court.
He was scheduled to post a $454 million bond by the end of the day as part of the ruling against him following New York Attorney General Letitia James’ decision to sue him on behalf of the state for allegedly inflating the value of his assets in order to secure favorable bank loans.
Trump had adamantly maintained he did no such thing, but Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron sided with James.

Trump continued, ”But I might. I might do that. I have the option.”
He also added that being freed from the terms of Engoron’s initial order had given him some wiggle room.
“But if I have to spend $500 million on a bond, I wouldn’t have that option,” Trump said. “I’d have to start selling things.”
Monday’s appellate court ruling not only allows the former president and his family from resuming business operations in New York but also prevents James from seizing any of his assets throughout the appeals process, according to The Hill.
