Trump is running out of other people's money to pay lawyers. Save America PAC is almost broke

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.

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!”

And his disciples are stupid enough to believe shit like that.

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