Incredible: Trump Raises Bond Money with Car Wash

It was an eleventh hour to remember Sunday as former president Donald Trump and his family rolled up their sleeves and came up with the entire $464 million needed for his civil fraud bond after a single, 24-hour car wash.

“They said it couldn’t be done,” said the former president, glistening in suds and sweat, “but we did. We did it. And it wasn’t even that hard either. Thanks to an unbelievable effort from my entire family: Baron — can that kid wax or what? Unbelievable. Incredible waxer. Some say the best to ever wax. And Don Jr. with the vacuums — what can’t that guy suck? Am I right? — He sucks it all. Every nook, every cranny. He gets in there with those big, beautiful vacuums. Really extraordinary vacuums. People told us they think these were the strongest vacuums they’d ever seen. More suction than Hunter’s nose they said. And the dirtier the better. That’s the way we like 'em. The real dirty ones we called Clintons. And we washed them all. One by one — bing bing boom — just like that. From the Ford F-150 to the Chevrolet Covfefes.”

The 24-hour “Stars and Suds” wash offered three tiers of car care with customers paying $100,000 for the “Bigly,” $250,000 for the “Yuuuge,” and $500,000 for the “Golden Shower Deluxe.” Customers could always upgrade to the “Grab ‘em by the Porches Package” where for an extra $2 million you get thirty minutes to “have your way” with Eric.

As this issue goes to print, eyewitnesses confirm seeing the former president near the offices of the New York Attorney General on the corner of Liberty and Broadway with a squeeze bottle and newspaper wiping down windshields — Apparently, he hadn’t accounted for the processing fee.
