Under certain circumstances, the Federal Elections Commission allows campaign funds to be used to pay for a politician's legal defense as long as the legal issue somehow relates to their being a political office-holder or a candidate.
So he's got a growing list of reasons to continue hawking those MAGA hats.

Black, have you sent money to pay for the billionaire’s lawyers?

It's probably naive optimism to hope it would even be actually used on his election campaign. More than likely it will be treated as a slush fund to pay his legal bills.
SuperLib
That’s right, Trump fans. Send your money to the billionaire so he can send it to his lawyers. Better your money than his.

Of the 62 million who voted for him in 2016, less than half will vote for him in 2020.

Anyone who lives in Japan and pays taxes in the US makes over $102k a year. A poster that is mow clsimkng there are rich people who can donate to Trump's legal fund previously claimed to pay taxes in the US.
Nothing is stopping anyone from setting up a gofundstupidity account to help fund the wall.

It's a fence, and if you guys insist on it, you better have a lot saved.

Well, good luck!

Is any of this money going to be used to repay the US taxpayers for Trump's numerous golf trips and his family member's trips to luxury resorts and to places like Dubai, among others, where his family members are using Trump's name to further expand his global business empire?

Why are middle-income idiots sending money to this guy? Your $50 will go to something he should be paying out of his own pocket.

Smart move by Trump's campaign.

The article doesn't say Trump spent 3 times as much. I guess reading is difficult.
Tommy Jones
Doesn't ruin my narrative st all. I'm happy for you.
Tommy Jones
Did you bothervto read more than the link?
SuperLib
So no Trump fans hare have donated to Trump?
HonestDictator
Oh, Trump is not going to be re-elected unless our nation is hell bent on destroying itself. Over the next few years there will be more younger voters registering to vote for their first time once they hit 18 and they're not going to be so into some old well off dotard that is intent on destroying their futures.

Stereotyping again? I have a few friends that are high school graduates that are sending money to this guy, it’s not just middle income idiots or should they vote for.....
who do the Dems have? ROFL!
Then he would be the first President to do so, why stop now?

Math again has become the enemy of a narrative. Person a spends 1.5 million a month. Person B spends 1 million. Has person A spent three times what person B did?

“Michelle Obama made two North Carolina trips in 2016 to campaign for Hillary Clinton. Air Force expenses total $40,902.40. In both trips, she took a C-40C military jet operating at $5,312 per hour.”
military aircraft to campaign?
Anyway the point for both sides doesn’t matter because presidential travel is classified as “official” travel because he is always in a duty status.
Also nothing to worry about because these campaign donations obviously aren’t coming from liberals so no need for you to care how they are spent.
Blacklabel
$102k a year isnt rich, btw. Im talking about actual rich people. Im sorry if the fact that I pay US taxes ruins your false narrative that everyone who supports Trump is a poor, uneducated redneck. Its simply not true and wrong thinking like that is why Trump won in the first place.
Blacklabel
I read the whole article, it’s old anyway. that’s how I knew the real truth not just what was implied by what the URL said and by your posting of the URL with no comments.
Blacklabel
Nope, there are plenty of rich people who can handle that.
Im saving my money in case we need to crowdfund the wall due to the inept Republicans in Congress.

Liberals donated over 500,000 dollars in a Go Fund me account to multimiliionaire Andrew McCabe for his upcoming lawyer fees. Cause they feel sad he was fired, I mean he only lied under oath 3 or 4 times, poor guy.
