How does he have any money left to litigate at this point?

IOUs written on colored construction paper with crayons. I'm guessing.

[-] irish_link@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Or written on the constitution.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

No, he already used that as toilet paper

[-] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Get it right, lib.

He only uses the finest sharpies. The best. Everybody's saying it. Believe me.

Last I heard he's grifting his gullible supporters for about $100k/day, but it's still unsustainable.

The NY judgement alone is $78k in interest per day until Trump pays it.

I read the other day that Trump had about $550 million in liquid cash & he can't touch $50M of it without other loans coming due. Loans he can't pay & pay the judgement at the same time.

E. Jean Carroll is about to sue him again.

Yeah, I imagine his non rich maga acolytes would be out of money soon, and his donors are sick of paying his legal bills. 🤔

There has to be some atrophy there surely.

Like imagine you've been working hard all these months and donating whatever you can afford... surely there's a non-zero number of people each week that think "you know what, there's better ways I could spend this money".

His current move is a pressure campaign to get the RNC to pay off his legal debts. Those spineless fucks might just do it.

[-] dynamojoe@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Splendid. Every dollar to Trump's lawyers is a dollar that isn't buying a Trump advert.

He was making Eric go back to college for a law degree but Eric went to Disneyland instead and blew the tuition on Dole whips

[-] Spaghetti_Hitchens@kbin.social 5 points 8 months ago

Dole whips are very good. I get it
