Poor Donald.

May 2, 2024

Word is Donald Trump is paying so much in legal fees that he’s running out of money. And with the $91.6 million bond he had to post for the E. Jean Carroll judgment, plus his company's civil business fraud fine that's approaching half a billion, it's no wonder he’s reduced to hawking $60 bibles and tacky gold sneakers.

Trump's multiple lawsuits, trials and appeals are becoming increasingly expensive, too. This year to date, $16.7 million in funds from Trump’s PACs have gone toward legal bills. Last month alone, he owed nearly $900,000 to law firms. And according to The Washington Post, Trump has so far expended a total of approximately $86 million in attorneys' fees.

Moreover, the cash isn't rolling in like it used to, either. Last year, Republican Party advisors warned Trump’s team that their small-dollar donor base could be shrinking. Sure enough, in 2023 Trump’s reelection campaign raised 62.5% less from small-dollar donors than it did in 2019. In January, Trump's campaign reported raising around $3 million. Joe Biden took in $2 million in a single day!

The drop in Trump’s small-dollar donations is magnified by a second problem: Many wealthy Republican donors have yet to commit to giving their usual millions of dollars toward a pro-Trump political action committee. Explains The New York Times, "Among their privately expressed concerns is a fear that large donations could wind up covering Mr. Trump’s legal fees."

So where can a Trump in need turn for funds? To start, he had his minions take over the Republican National Committee and its financial resources. But the RNC's own fund-raising has been alarmingly lackluster recently. So Trump decided to turn it into something resembling an extortion racket. In a mid-April letter to Republican down-ballot candidates, the Trump campaign announced the price for RNC support:

We ask that all candidates and committees who choose to use President Trump’s name, image, and likeness split a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC.

Trump's also been playing three-card monte with his various PACs, shifting funds from those legally bound to disperse money only for campaign purposes to his Save America super PAC that he can put to personal use, like paying lawyers. In fact, the total spent on legal expenses by Save America in the month of March was almost as much as Trump’s campaign committee spent.

As attorney fees suck cash out of his political operation, it's hard to escape the conclusion that Trump's money problems are making him a poor presidential candidate.

The dollar collapse is happening NOW!"

The Storm is coming sooner than expected. All financial systems controlled by the corrupt government will collapse.

This crash will be felt on a global level, and many currencies, especially the USD, will be worthless.

Fiat accounts, savings and retirement accounts, mortgage, e.t.c will crash down and wipe off from the system once this event happens, Quantum Financial System is the savior.!!!

Convert every money in your possession to digital gold & silver backed coins and move them into the QFS ledger for safety . There will be a Global Reset. All banks and fiat exchanges will be closed, and there will be a lot of uncertainty & confusion. Cash will be worthless and outdated, and all bank accounts will be closed and crash to zero .

All cabal public banks will be confiscated, and foreclosures will be frozen, as will all public and private dept(mortgage,loans, credit, and debit cards).

As of December 2023, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) has received 59 allegations that Donald Trump or his committees violated the Federal Election Campaign Act. In 29 of those cases, nonpartisan staff in the FEC’s Office of General Counsel (OGC) recommended the FEC investigate Trump. Yet not once has a Republican FEC commissioner voted to approve any such investigation or enforcement of the law against Trump.

Democratic Vice Chair Ellen Weintraub pointed this out in her December 5, 2023 statement of reasons after the FEC once again failed to garner the votes to enforce the law against Trump after he allegedly violated the law by illegally soliciting or directing money to a pro-Trump super PAC that spent millions on ads opposing Joe Biden in 2020.

Because at least four of the six FEC Commissioners need to approve any FEC investigation, and because only three of those seats can be filled by Democrats, Republicans hold a veto over the agency’s enforcement and have repeatedly used it to shoot down any recommended enforcement of campaign finance law against Trump—and thus successfully shielded him from accountability over and over. Instead of fostering bipartisanship, the split FEC has often become gridlocked and, in cases involving Trump, its ability to pursue action is constrained by the members of one party.

The FEC’s enabling statute, the Federal Election Campaign Act, specifically subjects the Commission’s non-enforcement to review to prevent it from blocking meritorious enforcement. In June 2018, however, two Republican-appointed judges of the D.C. Circuit—including now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh—largely gutted that rule, giving commissioners the authority to block enforcement of the law without judicial review if the commissioners claimed that they did so as an exercise of prosecutorial discretion or under Heckler v. Chaney.

So, in 21 of the 29 cases where the FEC received recommendations to enforce the law against Trump, Republican commissioners justified non-enforcement by invoking prudential or discretionary factors in attempts to circumvent review.

When dismissing the recommendations to investigate Trump—and to kill further inquiries into his actions—the Republican commissioners have at times claimed that the FEC should not take any action because “proceeding further would not be an appropriate use of Commission resources” or that the resources would be “best spent elsewhere.” Trump has even falsely declared that the FEC “dropped” one of its investigations into him “because they found no evidence of problems.” As Commissioner Weintraub wrote in a statement of reasons in November 2023, “the data is clear: At the FEC, Mr. Trump is in a category by himself.”

Unless courts restore their check on partisan vetoes on enforcement, the commissioners will continue to fail to enforce federal campaign finance law against the powerful figures they are trying to protect.

"Don't vote for Trump or any republican, you don't want fascism to win. It's Biden or a fascist."

Biden is a fascist. The support of ethnic cleansing is fascism. The support of Israel imposing itself as a major military power and committing genocide IS FASCISM!!!!

THERE ARE THIRD PARTIES. INDEPENDENT PARTIES. THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM IS NOT ABSOLUE!!!

#I don't like trump either and I'm not voting for him #but turning the other way for SOMEONE WHO SUPPORTS AND FINANCES GENOCIDE IS CRAZY #this all leads back to money and capitalism #palestine #from the river to the sea #israel #current events #free palestine #2024 elections

Donald Trump, Glenn Beck and Tucker Carlson are trying to warn the American people of what's to come but unfortunately they are being silenced.

The dollar is crashing and so are the banks. In the past 2 months, America has experienced the 2nd, 3rd and 4th largest bank collapses in America history..... And it's only getting started.

Before leaving Fox, Tucker Carlson warned of the impending U.S . dollar collapse as the banking crisis. Your hard-earned wealth is at risk as financial institutions crumble and the value of the dollar plummet.

From the April 14, 2024 opinion piece:

Despite Republicans’ efforts to dismiss it as some sideshow about a past affair and a few mislabeled checks, it is indeed about elections: specifically, who has to follow the rules, and who gets to flout them. Trump’s bedrock belief is that he need not follow the rules that govern everybody else. He was operating under this credo when he allegedly funneled the cash to keep Daniels quiet so he could eke out a win in 2016. Other candidates, including Hillary Clinton, followed the laws, including contribution limits and disclosure requirements. Trump allegedly defied them without a second thought. Bragg’s prosecution stands for the simple proposition that a rich and powerful man like Trump cannot disregard his legal obligations as a candidate for office in a constitutional democracy. He cannot avoid consequences by asserting, under the thin guise of various legal doctrines, that he is forever immune from his day of judgment because he was once president, and he is rich.
