This is the cue for all those people griping about "Bidenomics" to get out those checkbooks and start writing checks to tiny d. Because he cares about them, and is going to "fight for" them.
Let's see here. Adding this campaign finance violation to the rest of the charges.
Holy fuck he's paying his own legal bills from campaign money? I guess it's not illegal.
He had the RNC paying them for a while. Supposedly what he’s doing now is okay because his website says that’s where the money is going.
If he's not hiding anything and the donators are fine with it.. Doesn't seem illegal
The problem is how transparent they are being. If you get an email saying "TRUMP NEEDS YOUR HELP TAKING ON THE WOKE MOB" and there's a big donate button that brings you to donate to "SAVE AMERICA PAC" and it just so happens that they're spending 90% of their money on his legal defense, how well informed were you?
the math gets complicated when you realize the initial value for 'informed' was imaginary.
When he gets elected and either pardons himself or never leaves the White House until his death, none of this matters to him a single bit.
Spending $50 million on legal fees instead of building out campaign infrastructure and paying for ads reduces the odds he gets elected though.
Way to many things about campaigning and financing are not illegal, and that needs to get fixed.
Oh, yeah, that'd be great, but corporations are people. Except in terms of wage theft, unsafe working conditions, or dangerous products. There's nobody to put in jail for those, nothing we can do, sorry!
Time to milk the rubes with some more NFTs.
Maybe he should stop harassing his rape victim.
I guess the lawyers will vote for him. He will keep them busy for quite a while to come.
How is it legal for him to use funds raised for a political campaign on his personal legal fees? Isn't this a kind of fraud or something?
Legally - Trump can't use the super PAC funds at all. The super PAC decides what it does with the money. The PAC chose to pay the legal fees... However - we all know behind closed doors there is plenty of communication about what that money is used for...
At least that is my understanding of super pacs
Edit: it's not a super PAC sorry, just a PAC. I'm not a Pac-Man so I got confused. Wakka wakka.
, EH EH. Tsamina mina zangalewa This time for Africa.
He should just squeeze his base for more cash. They don't mind.
No worries, he'll release some more NFT trading cards for $2-300 a pop and he'll sell a shit ton of them because his followers are fucking dumbshits. Bitch and moan about the economy but then buy his crap.
"Biden's economy is so bad that I can't pay my Trump bill this month!"
/s, obviously
They're also a very easy way to launder money from Russia
How? I am asking for a friend of course ;)
