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.

Except when you give 10% to the bail bondsman, you don't get that money back.

    That's the point -- 10% as opposed to 100%

    You would get back 100% of bail once you show up for court. That’s how a bail bondsman makes money.
