At the rate he's spending money on losing in court and associated legal fees, this will probably last no more than a week before he needs more money

Not much of a millionaire if he needs a go fund me lol and if the donors lose their money I’m ok with that. They deserve it.
Holy fuck the alleged billionaire needs a Go fund me. Pull your finger out of your ass bud, you're spare parts.
When you're funding your successful billionaire businessman president to pay his court fees on the same platform used to pay for people's medical bills do you ever think maybe capitalism might have failed us?
I hope someone is carefully monitoring these donations to determine origin....
Still 84K too much
Trump literally wouldn't even qualify for a Secret/L.
I wish I was unethical enough to grift the shit out of those rubes.
You need an MBA first.
It's completely ethical to trick fascists out of their money following basic harm reduction principles.
Ah, not qualified to be a billionaire I see.
See, Russian money is currently tight because of the war. Bad timing orange old man.
No, it is because Voronezh's budget hasn't been finalized. They will cut healthcare, schools and transport AND THEN Trump will get money.
I wonder if it actually is harder for them to funnel payments to things like the Trump campaign due to the war (and sanctions). I'm sure Putin and friends are not strapped for cash if a Trump victory is on the menu. Maybe they don't think the fraud fine is a detriment to Trump's chances?
They like him weak so he begs harder and sells out cheaper.
At this rate it’ll only take about 11 1/2 years to raise the full 355m.
If you count the $4 million that each of his sons owe and the interest already accrued they actually owe $464 million. It was a very bad day for the Trump crime family.
Oh well.
The rate of interest is close to $1M per week... So 84k/day won't even cover the interest he owes
Imagine being so stupid and depraved as to give money to help bail out a supposed billionaire (and rapist).
Oh before he needed $355 million, now he only needs $355 million. That $84K is an unnoticeable drop in the bucket. 😂 😂 😂
I thought Trump was worth billions. That's what he likes to tell everyone. $355 million should just be pocket change for him, right?
His worth depends on his mood, so I guess it's the court that's to blame, for ruining his mood, so he can't afford the fine.
I seriously doubt he can afford the fines, which combined and with interest are upwards of $400 million. Then again Kushner got about a billion from the Arabs, doing favors while Trump was president. So maybe Trump got more?
Hopefully soon enough he won't even be a millionaire.... Hopefully
Donny holding up a bucket waiting for the billionaires and millionaires who benefitted from his tax reform to trickle down in his direction:
It's hilarious watching people he doesn't control (and aren't terminally stupid or desperate, like the rubes who agree to be his lawyer because THIS time he'll really pay them, pinky swear) hang his ass out to dry.
“Fools and their money are soon parted.”
Assuming every day the same donations pour in, it'll take about 4,227 days:
355,000,000/84,000 = 4,226.19047619
That many days divided by 365 means about 11.5 years to reach that goal.
4,226.19047619/365 = 11.5786040444
77 + 11 =88, so he'll probably be 89 before he's out of debt, assuming no other financial penalties from lawsuits happen. Or he could declare bankruptcy...
The debt goes up by a million dollars every week due to interest.
Let him do that! It would both ruin is self-imposed image of a "business genius", and would lead to a surprised pikatchu face when he notices that his fines will not go away just because of the bankruptcy!
The goal, ha!
$45/avg grift (least this time the fund’s purpose isn’t buried in the fine print)
How much does gofundme charge for their service?
There’s no fee to start or manage your fundraiser. However, to help us operate safely and securely, one small transaction fee (2.9% + $0.30, which includes debit and credit charges) per donation is deducted.
Very fair, same as PayPal and perhaps Stripe. But they’ll need a few extra million.
