That is ground breaking stuff. Keep it up!

A campaign is spending more money on criminal defense than the actual campaign

He is accruing those specific legal bills and costs “during the course and scope of” what his voters have asked of him. Thus not only is this scenario blatantly standard, it’s also the right thing.

When a police officer makes a lawful arrest and some poon decides to sue him for being a little too rough, despite a completely lawful and appropriate arrest - do you think that officer is supposed to foot his own legal bills??

It’s actually interesting when it’s put like that. At the root of it, he should be paying his legal fees (right, wrong, or indifferent), and not begging for help.

Unreal.

Doubt he is paying the legal bills for the help at Mar a Lago that he threw under the bus.

He should be honest and just set up a legal defense fund

And you don't understand how the $8 trillion Trump pumped into the economy resulted in that...

I agree. It’s pretty disingenuous.

Trump knows he's broke and can't do what would be needed to win a general (should he get that far).

There will be no ground game or ballot harvesting operation for Trump and 2024 will be another tally in the loss column for Team Trump.

I’m sure it does explain everything for you. Which itself is inexplicable. Maybe you haven’t noticed, but there’s sort of a widespread belief out there that the federal government has been weaponized by Trump’s own political rival who also happens to be President, the tactic being to sully his good name with trumped up, bogus criminal allegations. Considering the outrageously lengthy history of similar bogus, illegal and unconstitutional attempts to take him out, including the current bullshite allegations, it’s sorta illogical to surgically excise only the specific records matter, and for some bizarre reason decide that despite countless previous bogus claims, this one just so happens to be legit. The most common sense out there easily dictates that conclusion.

Exactly how did Trump pump 8 trillion into the economy?

If you’re a billionaire “outsider” taking on the deep state, and this “plan” has been in motion and pushed by others (military and outside influencers), why would you rely on “regular” people to help pay for the difficult part of the “plan” you gamed for?
