Donald Trump’s political operation is reeling after spending around $60 million on legal fees pertaining to the four criminal indictments and various ongoing civil lawsuits against him.
Disclosures indicate that Trump’s campaign and the various political action committees supporting it blew through tens of millions of dollars in 2023, leaving him cash-strapped heading into 2024.
Save America PAC, Trump’s primary PAC heading into his likely rematch with President Joe Biden, once had over $100 million in the bank. Now, it has just a little over $5 million left after spending over $25 million on legal bills in the second half of last year alone.
The problem is how transparent they are being. If you get an email saying "TRUMP NEEDS YOUR HELP TAKING ON THE WOKE MOB" and there's a big donate button that brings you to donate to "SAVE AMERICA PAC" and it just so happens that they're spending 90% of their money on his legal defense, how well informed were you?
Oh, yeah, that'd be great, but corporations are people. Except in terms of wage theft, unsafe working conditions, or dangerous products. There's nobody to put in jail for those, nothing we can do, sorry!
