Why? No, I don't think so. You can say goodbye to Trump Tower, your golf courses, Mar-A-Lago, and anything else you own.

Trump has pounded his cultists too much. Ain't no more money in that pool...

Since when does a billionaire have to beg for cash?
John
Quick, goobers! Buy some worthless NFTS and cheap Chinese sneakers!
Daddy needs some cash!
Billionaire…. LOL.
John
When James seizes the assets, we can start a “Stop the Squeal!” campaign.

What a scam this has become. The Republican National Committee (RNC) paid Trump’s mounting legal fees in 2021 and 2022. Additionally, donors backing Trump raised $188 million in 2023, of which $48 million was spent on legal fees, according to the Wall Street Journal. Anybody supporting this is a fool!
Cards fan
Some billionaire. Lol begging the working class for donations.
What isn't mentioned in this article is how small donor contributions have essentially dried up at the GOP. They raised a total of $3 million in a month. This is good news for anyone opposed to GOP authoritarianism.

Billionaires begging for handouts...
Sounds like a case of socialism for the rich, robbing Peter to pay Paul, an entitled class that could use a dose of austerity, someone who needs to learn fiscal probity, pull themselves up by their bootstraps etc etc.
You know, all the old arguments.
John
Trump is too stupid to learn the first rule of Ponzie Schemes: always have an out, because the House of Cards IS going to collapse eventually.
Oops. Maybe he can put that in his next book. He can use “Oops” as the title as well.

What happened to "I'm a very rich guy!"
Trump robs Peter to pay Don.

Ahahahahahaha. Better pony up if you don't want to see Trump Tower renamed Letitia James Tower, goobers.

Watch MAGA give their factory job money to a millionaire.
John
Watch him fail to deliver said goober sneakers as well.
Cards fan
No, no. You don't understand. Trump is the rulling class.
Yes. The working class can certainly sympathize with a crook like Trump who committed hundreds of millions in fraud. Great point. ;)
bass4funk
True. Sent in a check today.
wallace
Another MAGA mug.
Norm
I’m also waiting to see how that turns out. I suspect in some bitter disappointment in trailer parks all over rural America.
Cards fan
Better send more, because the $3 million a month they're raising now is just pathetic. haha
bass4funk
No
Well, you don’t speak for others, I did and will do my part.
Cards fan
Oh, I never claimed to speak for others. I'm just pointing out how small and pathetic small donations to the Trump campaign have become. They raised $3 million in a month. Biden nearly raised that in a single day.
The little people are tiring of paying Trump's massive legal fees.
wallace
It won't help Trump pay his New York bond by Monday.
dagon
To be real Trump has always been a corporatist stooge, foreign and domestic and I doubt there is an oligarch he would refuse a handout from.
The money will not come mainly from the MAGA faithful no matter how much their prosperity gospel pastor tells them it will return to them tenfold.
It will come from others in the oligarch class like this.

This lawsuit is nothing more than malicious prosecution. It won't end well for the other side.
Cards fan
It's a lawsuit, so it's not "prosecution." He committed fraud, which we can now see, because he doesn't have the money to pay the fine, nor does he have the credit to borrow the money. So it isn't malicious either.
Oh a bet. What is the world's brokest billionaire going to do? Sue them? lmao
John
A fool and his money Exhibit A.
bass4funk
You do actually.
Helped Bernie.
Hillary outspent Trump and still lost, same goes for DeSantis, Liz Cheney, Glen Youngkin etc.
And yet his numbers continue to rise, especially among blacks and Latinos.
bass4funk
I’m a fool with money, woe is me…
lincolnman
As we've seen here with posts already today, never underestimate the gullibility of a Trump supporter - Trump certainly hasn't...
You'd think after being played for fools for the past seven years sending all their money to someone who falsely boasts "I'm rich" would make the lightbulb come on...
But as Trump said about the Australian Ambassador yesterday, they're "not the brightest bulbs"...
The Great Grift of the Foolish Flock continues...
Jtsnose
. . . . money is requested . . . from those who benefit from his leadership? . . . . many supporters have done/ are doing time in jail . . . .
bass4funk
Made money, helped build NY city skyline, that is the power and business of real estate.
Biden is begging pleading Hispanics to vote for him.
The same goes for Biden
The law of politics
J101
Are you sure, it'll arrive on time? Better send another.
Cards fan
I don't actually. Point out where I claimed so.
Helped Bernie do what? Cinch the Democratic nomination? Win the presidency?
And Biden outspent Trump and won. Your point?
Mine is Trump is getting thumped on donations big time. Unless things change dramatically, he's going to have even less cash for his campaign than he did in either 2016 or 2020.
No they're not. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/national/
Yes, from 12 up to 13%. That's amazing. lmao
wallace
Trump has no shame when he says "buddy can you spare a dime!"
John
Now a fool with less (claimed) money.
It’s a coin-flip as to which admission is dumber: this one or it’s mini-me acolyte proudly admitting to being defrauded by Stevie “3-cons” Brannon’s “We build the wall” scam.
Chico3
Hey Trump! I thought you were a billionaire. What happened? Did you lie to us again? And some people want this guy for President again? No way!

The ruling class isn't doing anything. Trump committed fraud and profited from it. Now he has to pay back to the people of New York.
The working class has been under Trump's boot their whole life. He doesn't pay his contractors and they can't afford to litigate.
ClippetyClop
Trump lost a valuable line of credit when his top secret documents stash was eventually seized by the Feds.
Until then I believe, without any proof whatsoever apart from my constitutional belief, that he was selling them to Xi (via Putin proxy) for $10 million a pop.
agondocz
The former president might be the only American resident who was better off four years ago.
bass4funk
On the contrary
Get within Hillary’s Presidential striking distance..
Uhhh, well…the left say that. Lol
I made it.
Hillary outspent Trump and still lost, same goes for DeSantis, Liz Cheney, Glen Youngkin etc. so not really concerned,
Yes.

Who is the real owner of Trump Tower?
As of 2021, the building's official owner is GMAC Commercial Mortgage, according to the New York City Department of City Planning.
Real estate mortgaged to the hilt.

What a loser...
Asking for the MAGA sheep more and more money..
PATHETIC !!!...

Should be Stevie “3-CHINS” Bannon.
But “3-cons” works as well (although it may be vastly underestimating the level of his criminality…)

Melanie had better hurry up and hit the eject button or else there will be nothing left to pay her post-nup.
It’d be a real shame if she was left uncompensated for 20 years of her life with a fat, old (and by multiple accounts) “malodorous” loser.

Since Bernie has entered the convo..

Refusing PAC and corporate money, overwhelmingly from small donors.
That is how it is done when you are not paying settlements for decades of tax fraudulent business, cheating blue collar contractors, payoffs to victims of sexual violence etc, from your political machine.
Oui, il existe une différence et elle est importante.
bass4funk
Naw, she loves her husband, won't happen.
Yeah, you think too deeply about these people living rent-free, even I don't do that and I am a supporter.
The White House?! in DC? Well....
Yeah, that might not age well for the left, be careful about what you wish for.
lincolnman
What most amazes me, and it shouldn't as it's a trait of all cults, is that as we've seen posted here today, our MAGA-friends continue to give their money to this guy even though;
1) While they all vigorously profess that life begins at conception, Trump said this week that he's fine with "killing babies" up until the 16th week...
2) Trump has told his supporters to get vaccinated and that the COVID vaccine is "safe", while they all believe it's poison that will maim and make you sterile...
If murdering children and urging them to take poison aren't enough to dim their support, nothing will...
It's a complete and total cult, no different from Jim Jones and Jonestown, and we know how that turned out...
UChosePoorly
Carroll, the State of New York, and various lawyers thank you. Are you able to make it recurring please?
Cards fan
Talking about speaking for others. lmao
Ah_so
I love the Idea that the MAGA cult are paying money to pay a billionaire. But I encourage them to pay even more.
bass4funk
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/03/bernie-sanders-fundraising/471648/
Yes, from small donors, you just made my point for me! Thank you!!!
Which is what I am doing and millions others.
As a private businessman, legitimate.
The country feels cheated 69% Who is President?
Private matter, which has nothing to do with his time at the WH, stretching again?

Once she publicly comes out and makes a statement, then you can gloat, until then, relax and settle with the typical leftist conspiracy theories.

Campaign money can't be used for bail. So long Trump. Your properties in NY will be taken and sold at current market value - which is probably just 30% of his claimed value these days.
Cards fan
Yes, we certainly can't make inferences from her frigid reaction to Trump trying to hold her hand. They're clearly smitten ;)

As a demo cart party member as a leffftist I am so thrilled to read Japan today as they have returned to the nakamal pattern of posting a news ( every day must) every day about Trump.... it is my breakfast ... that give me a kind of hallucination .... like self bating effect... thank you .. thank you thank you JT..
Please search hard to get more such news about Trump. possible two news article every day.
Do not forget to write boasting news about Biden. Please report that Biden is so young and energetic to run for next four years....
Thank Obama for his help for that last three years.. I am sure he will help Biden for the next term too.
Trump is in financial trouble.. ha ha ha ha .. this gives me so cooling effect... what a satisfaction... after reading .. I can not describe in words here.. look at Obama before becoming president his asset was 1.4 million. after 8 years his asset is 140 million. we have lot of money to defeat Trump. hoorai .. thumps up

ClippetyClop
How do you define that margin when you couldn't even find any trace of it in 2020?

As much as she is contractually obligated to and no more.
Is THAT why she spends her time “scrapbooking” and not out on the trail? Because she loves him so much?
LOL.

3 points or more is cheat proof.

Again, there is no indication whatsoever that this nutty notion is even on the table.
Now how on earth would you know that? Liberals are funny people, and I mean it sincerely. ROFL

Any MAGA who isn't mortgaging their house to donate to the cause hates the MAGA cause.

no such election result. And you can focus on 2024 by now.

Blacklabel - voting hasn’t started yet, so nobody is winning anything yet. Polls don’t count.
Strangerland
Yes, we understand you think that 2020 was election fraud and that Trump won. You've been whining about it for the past three years.
Meanwhile, back in the land of facts and reality, Biden trounced Trump in numbers Trump himself described as a "landslide".
But yes, we know you say Trump won in 2020, even though there is literally nothing short of Q-level hysterical delusions to point in that direction.
lincolnman
We have to excuse our MAGA-friends as they trot out the same lame, tired old posts they've been using for all the Trump bad news over the past week...just laughable deflections and empty faux bluster...
They're obviously having trouble "coping"...

Begging his followers to donate their last nickel, dimes, and quarters so he can continue with his spending for parties at Mair-el-largo. And it's 2 days past the deadline, so, finally auction off his properties. Oh, and by the way, how come his family doesn't help him, I mean, Kushner received $2 billion (for selling what), Ivonka some 100 million for doing business in / with China .... Abandoning their great father already? Now, that's what I call family values!
Blacklabel
Oh my god after already threatening a “bloodbath” Trump is now threatening he will cause a landslide too?
Have you informed CNN?

He’s not.

You send a check, on Thursday, from Japan, which will take multiple days to arrive, and then multiple days to clear, when your flabby master needs the money by Monday?
Okay.

First election with two candidates with Presidential experience since 1912, hence the candidates well known.

No wonder our MAGA-friends are a little touchy....lately they've had to cope with;
Trump mistaking his wife for a luxury car...
Their devoted evangelical leader saying its OK to kill babies until the 16th week...
The guy they've claimed for ages is a "billionaire" and a "business genius" is a tapped out pauper who can't get any bank or his rich friends to back his bond.
So they try to cope with shouts of "Hillary", "Swing states", "Obama"...
It just shows their desperation and defeat...
HopeSpringsEternal
Trump's ahead of Biden at this same stage, same week in March vs. 2020, by 9.4 pts, Biden was winning by 7.4pts, now he's losing by 2pts, national polling, real clear politics weighted average for last 30 days.
Biden's LOSING by more in key swing states than 2pts. Money can't change voters Biden "experience", high prices, inflation, open borders, crime, war, crazy debt, high interest rates, etc.
Jimizo
Desperate times.
Maybe offering special ‘services’ in the Mar-a-Lago car park could be next.
HopeSpringsEternal
EVERY group abandoning Biden relative to 2020, Except Top 1% Income. Biden losing by high double digits on all key issues, border, economy, inflation, crime, national security, etc.
Biden campaign money won't change above, voters believe their lying eyes!
plasticmonkey
Using polls to defend a self-claimed "billionaire" with lots of cash on hand who begs his working-class cult followers for a handout to pay his legal bills.
Facing the truth is just too painful for these people. Too much of their psyche invested in the cult.
HopeSpringsEternal
Most voters like Trump's moderation on abortion as well, the 15week rule, exceptions for rape, incest and life of the mother. Most voters want the states to regulate.
Catholics DO NOT Like Biden's abortion position, especially Hispanics, campaign money won't change this view.
HopeSpringsEternal
All the money in the world will not help communicate effectively with voters, he's in big trouble physically and mentally due to aging. All polling shows vast majorities do not believe Biden's fit for 4 more years in office.

We've gone from "I'm so rich, I don't need anyone's donations!",

The media is extremely happy for having Trump back, this I can guarantee lol
1 morning story on Trump (closed and buried within hours) gets more clicks than all the other Japan-related stories combined, easy money
