    I think that it’s very patriotic of Trump to set piles of money on fire that could otherwise be used to elect republicans to Congress or the senate.

      So he is using Republican money on himself rather than Republicans? You would think that’s the big nono. Is it?

        Ted Cruz fought a case all the way to SCOTUS to allow unlimited campaign donations after an election has taken place. What makes you think other Republicans aren’t using campaign and RNC money for themselves?

          They all are.

          I would be surprised if every federal politician isn’t doing it. You can loan your campaign money at 20% interest and pay yourself back with your donors’ money legally. Being a Fed is a license to print your own profit.

    Trump was always going to drain any money he got access to, are they just learning this?

      He has assets he can liquidate. He might be out of money, but he is in no way “Out of money.”

        Can he? When banks are involved in financing the assets then he’s not free in his decisions. And liquidating under pressure is bad because prices will get haggled down.

      That’ll never happen. They’ll just grift more money from other evil fuck billionaires like Koch via “free speech” super PACs

    This is why he wants Lara installed as RNC chairperson, to smooth the flow of funds

      He should have went with Tiffany. Nobody remembers Tiffany, she could be perfect plant.

        Lara is way more forgettable than Tiffany. I was just thinking she was one of Trump’s daughters and I just had to look her up to find out that actually she’s married to one of Trump’s sons. No, not Don Jr, the other one.

    now that he’s even more in debt he’ll be even more susceptible to foreign (or other) influence.

      And the scary thing is he’s probably going to win.

      Remember when he sold the Resolute Desk to Goya for ad space?

    People on TikTok keep telling me he’s a billionaire. If so, why does he raid the RNC coffers to fund his defense?

      Because he can, and you don’t get to be a billionaire without ripping people off.

      But yeah, I don’t think he has all that much money left now. But Trump ripping off whoever he can doesn’t prove it. He’d still be doing that if he had $100B in his bank account.

      That’s how you stay rich. By spending other people’s money. This is actually a form of wealth granted by power and influence.

      IDK if he’s a billionaire, though.

        Aye he’s booth rich and poor at the same time. Helps I guess that he has merchandising for everything to sell to the saps.
