His key fund has spent nearly all of the more than $150 million it raised, and is sitting on less than $4 million, according to the latest numbers available. He’s already dug into his fund for 2024 ads, and borrowed money to post bail in Georgia. And some of his allies are begging for donations, saying he won’t pony up.

HE NEVER DOES! How do these idiots not know that? He’s famous for not paying what he owes.
Obligatory: why would the leopard eat MY face??
It’s like people who buy lottery tickets every week except at least those people have a minute chance of a payout.
At least that money goes to schools and roads and stuff. This is butt wipe money
How ironic. “Running out of other people’s money” is a term that Trumpers use to describe communism.
It’s a communism for one person.
I think it’s hilarious that he’s supposedly a billionaire yet the RNC and their various related PACs are willing to go broke for him even though he is unpopular enough that the candidates he endorsed lost in the midterms. He’s losing them elections left and right and yet they still can’t stop themselves from throwing money at him.
He’s like King Midas but everything he touches turns to shit.he packed the court, he personally killed roe, and he gives americans they hate the most, women/brown people/homosexuals nightmares. he is their god. they don’t care about anything else. racists would throw their own children into fire if it meant mud people might get it worse than they have it now. it really is that simple.
King Mierdas
Ne’er a more apt moniker, so good.
In reverse. Everything he touches goes to shit.
“Mierda” is Spanish for “shit”.
“If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed, and we will deserve it.” - Lindsey “Spineless” Graham.
But you see, he’s only broke because the very very mean libs stole the election from him which forced him to try to overthrow the government. Then they led all kinds of witch hunts against him after he tried to show that he was right and expose election fraud. None of this is his fault!!! He’s innocent! He averted nuclear Holocaust!! /s
King Shidas
Oh no!
Anyway…
Russian money ain’t worth as much as it used to be
Trump ain’t worth as much to Russia as he used to be.
Good, and also fuck him. Time to go to prison now, Donald.
And yet every time something happens to him he gets millions in donations. Does he even need to advertise? Even if he’s broke I doubt he’d drop out of the race, he’d just make people work on credit and then not pay.
The astonishing thing here is that this would probably work. I have no idea how he continues to convince people that 1) he’s rich, and 2) he’ll bother paying them if he’s not forced to, but somehow there keeps being people willing to throw their lives away for him.
I still have trouble with that. People willing to throw their lives away for Donald fucking Trump, the failed real-estate tycoon and D-list celebrity weirdo with the underage “beauty” pageant. That guy? That guy commands an army of people desperate to do his (unpaid) bidding?
What the actual fuck?
Donald Trump is a poor man’s idea of a rich man, a weak man’s idea of a strong man, and a dumb man’s idea of a smart man.
Con man is short for confidence man…
There’s always been a lot of people who will fall for obvious scams because they assume anyone that’s confident is capable.
They aren’t the best with higher logic, so they tend to take everything at face value. And that’s been exploited for probably longer than humans have had language
He has become mythological to his fans. Like when you see those Chuck Norris memes, except they believe everything they see/read about him without looking past the surface.
Some troll signed me up for Trump’s mailing lists. The donation requests are absolutely pathetic. “President Trump asked me to reach out to YOU, one of his most loyal donors, to help out this month with defending freedom. We’re putting the list of his top 50 defenders on his desk this afternoon and want your name on it again this time!” … “President Trump got his weekly list of donors and asked me why your name wasn’t on it this time!”
Hilarious and disgusting in equal measures.
These two paragraphs in a row are weirdly similar:

After raising more than $150 million, his key fund is sitting on less than $4 million, according to the latest numbers available. He’s already dug into his 2024 super PAC, and borrowed money to post bail in Georgia. Some of his allies are begging for donations, saying he won’t pony up.
Am I seeing both the article and a preview version of the article? Or maybe the author was under time/etc pressure and left a duplicate drafted paragraph in? It doesn’t seem ML generated as far as I can tell.
The next two paragraphs end with similar sentences too.
Has anyone thought maybe he is only saying he is going to run for president again so he can continue to rake in this money to pay the fees? If he wasn’t running the PAC wouldn’t exist right? Seems like an easy way to continue paying and then bailout once he has exhausted all funds.
He also is trying to get his supporters and fixers to fix everything so he doesn’t get prosecuted by becoming president again. They’re seriously down for cheating and SCOTUS is obviously on their side with the votes percentage, so I can see him doing whatever he’s got left to do.
Why his allies are surprised he won’t pony up is a mystery given the man’s half a century history of cheating anybody who’d put any trust in him.
As funny as this is, how much money do these lawyers take?
You have to consider the scale of his indictments and the severity of the charges. Additionally, he’s one of the worst clients you could have as a lawyer since he never shuts the fuck up and is constantly incriminating himself. That, combined with famously never paying bills, creates a perfect storm where most competent firms won’t want to take your case. And those that do, are going to require that you pay enormous fees upfront due to all the reasons listed above and then some. Like, the dude was literally caught red handed in a couple of the cases (i.e. literally having dozens of highly classified documents in your bathroom). Proving his innocence is going to be very difficult, not to mention these cases are likely to be dragged out for years and years.
Ok he might be guilty af in multiple cases, but the question remains how do you spend 150 million on lawyers in three years? Either he’s getting fleeced or, more likely, he’s siphoning off most of the money
how do you spend 150 million on lawyers in three years?
You commit a fuckton of crimes. 91 criminal charges in four different courts. He committed crimes in Florida, Georgia, New York, and Washington D.C. Federal and State crimes, probably international crimes as well but we’re only getting started.
It’s okay he’s a billionaire so he’ll just spend his own money…right? Right? RIGHT!!!
its trickle-down economics, okay?
/s
When your PAC gets drained not advancing any of your political ideals but instead trying to bail your candidate out of prison, you might want to pick a new piece of shit to throw your money at.
