    This was raised by wealthy donors at a $1,000 (minum) a plate dinner.

    The corruption is a feature for these people.

      The mental gymnastics his average supporter has to go through to keep supporting him must be exhausting.

    can you imagine what $2 million dollars could do for people who need things, like housing and clothing and food?! can you imagine what $2 million dollars could do for people who didn’t share/sell/keep the secrets of an entire nation? 🙃

      And what would have been really sad about this is that I would bet a sizable portion of the peoplepwho donated are people who could use that help. But they got conned. Again.

        right?! that always blows my mind. trump seems to consistently want so much cash and, as far as i know, gives back nothing but worthless nfts to his working-class donors.

      For fuckin real. It’s no wonder there is a never-ending stream of politicians and media personalities lined up to push these agendas even though they are patently insane.

    Taking other people’s money is something Trump has always excelled at.

    I can’t decide if that’s a lot or not.

    I meant it would be a lot to me, but it’s not even one unpaid lawyer bill to him.

    Grifters gonna grift. At this point, I’d be surprised if he DIDN’T use this indictment as a money-making opportunity.

    It blows my mind that someone who has had so much shady, illegal dealings confirmed in a court of law can go out there and say “You should give me money because America is full of criminals” and a non-zero number of people go “Yeah, he’s right.”
