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
And if they buy again, they have a second chance of payout. And if they all chip in, they have an (h)our chance 🤣
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.
So capitalism.
Formally, capitalism is only economic and not political system, while communism is both. Democratic capitalism is quite different from dictatorial capitalism and anarchism-capitalism, for example. Countries like Sweden, China and Iran, they all have capitalism, but political systems are very different.
Psshh nerd

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.
you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.…

King Mierdas
Ne’er a more apt moniker, so good.
In reverse. Everything he touches goes to shit.
“Mierda” is Spanish for “shit”.
I don’t get the reverse part?
“Everything he touches goes to shit.” That is literally what it means.

Ah! My bad! I read as Midas.

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

“No word from Trump,” Johnson wrote. “Nothing to defend these people who worked so hard for him. Not a dime of his money to fund their defense. Nothing. He has thrown all of them under the bus to prop himself up.”
No waaaaay, shock pikachu face
He has thrown all of them under the bus to prop himself up.
That is his nature, it is his core identity. Any common moron could see that starting in 2014. Whatever happens to all those people who worked for him and are now under the bus…they deserve everything that happens to them now that he’s used them up and cast them aside.
“My son Eric is much more involved with it than I am,” Trump said.
“My son Eric is much more involved with it than I am”, Donald Trump throwing his son under the bus.
They didn’t think the orange leopard would eat THEIR faces!
Hell, he threw his sons under the bus in the New York case, you think he cares about these other people?
What the fuck I thought Super PACs were not allowed to coordinate with the candidate…right? …right? It’s paying his fucking legal bills how is that not a violation? Oh that’s right because it’s a fucking corrupt bullshit concept. The supreme court’s awful Citizens United ruling completely fucked over this country.
It’s a violation, but at this point they’re openly flouting campaign finance laws. Usually, a campaign and their PAC will have “secret” places to publicly share documents that are technically public but only known to the campaign and the PAC. For example, they might have a site called Artichoke-And-Orange-Juice-Recipes dot com which would have various recipes posted. However, if you go to /recipes/other/political/campaigns/2023/abcd-5678-totally-public-stuff/ one side would post documents for the other side to grab. It’s technically not coordinating since anyone could grab those documents, but only they know about that URL so practically speaking it’s coordinating secretly. However, for the debate, DeSantis’ PAC posted debate prep notes openly for DeSantis to use.
Also, a DeSantis PAC has been paying for stuff like a campaign bus for DeSantis which shouldn’t be allowed.
Meanwhile, Republicans want to loosen the regulations so that PACs could coordinate openly with the campaigns with no restrictions.
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.
Good, and also fuck him. Time to go to prison now, Donald.
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.
Time for another round of Trump NFTs…
Or to take funds from foreign governments. It would be nothing to them if Trump loses, but if he wins they’ll own him forever.
You mean openly transferring
bribeswealth to someone else, someone who needs a clear trail of where the boatloads of money came from.
Oh no!
Anyway…
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.
Well. And if he accidentally wins he can pardon many of his crimes.
He did sell Mara Lago to his son Donald Jr.

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.
I’m firmly convinced that when he eventually keels over from an inevitable Big-Mac Attack, that his rabid followers will take that as a sign to “start the civil war.”
I expect that cities are going to see a surge of domestic terrorism just after fatty McBabyhands croaks.
The weirdest thing is that it won’t be limited to the US, and I really don’t understand foreign Drumph supporters
The man who was found by a jury to have abused a woman, who suggested grabbing women “by the pussy”, who admits to going into the girls change rooms in the miss teen America pageant, who had to pay hush money to a porn star, is the poster child for the religious right.

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!”
Someone did that to me too. They stopped sending texts after I replied with a dick pic lol

And his disciples are stupid enough to believe shit like that.
Oh please. There’s still plenty of grift left and I hope they continue to get grifted by this living spam email.
Any cent wasted on lawyers will mean less money on ads. I think many people will be thankful for seeing less of his face next year…
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.
