Even dark money only makes safe investments that they have corrupt information on.
Dumps is proving an ever unsafer investment.
Also, f*** scotus
Agreed, but Putin and his allies would consider it a very safe investment over Biden.
I think you misunderstand what a safe investment means. The problem now is it will take more money to elect trump and most money donated will go to his legal troubles and debts. So there is less chance of return and more money needed to make a return.
Yes, they certainly don't want Biden elected and won't donate to him, but trump is a poorer investment. First time round he was a long shot that paid off big. Second time round, he was a huge expense that failed. Third time round, he's less likely to get in, more likely to be in jail and more likely to die at any point from the stress of it all.
I don't think so. I actually can't see that reasoning. What do you mean?
All of the money that went into dumps presidential campaign fund in the 2020 run was double the amount of 2016, which is like 16 times the amount of any presidential campaign beforehand, and he still lost.
I do think Putin would invest in disinformation, but I can't see him investing even through third-party funneling, into Trump when he already lost and is now so much more civilly liable and under investigation and trial for criminal lawsuits.
It's a worse investment.
