  1. *From Bloomberg News reporter Bill Allison:*

    Donald Trump spent $4.9 million on legal fees in March and has just $6.8 million left in the accounts he’s been using to fund his lawyers, setting him up for a cash crunch as his trial costs mount, according to campaign finance filings.

    That forces Trump, a criminal defendant in a trial underway in Manhattan, to find other sources of cash to defray the mounting costs of his court battles. Trump could seek to raise more money from donors, ask the Republican National Committee to cover the costs or pay for the fees from his own wealth. The RNC has said it won’t pay for Trump’s legal bills.

  2. I don’t care. Maybe he shouldn’t be such a piece of shit

  3. Why the FUCK doesn’t this guy pay his OWN legal bills. People paying his bills for him are morons.

  4. Time to sell more worthless NFTs and shoes to the rubes.

  6. Hope his lawyers learned lessons from Rudy and got paid in advance.

  8. May be he can start selling “Golden Diapers”.

    I am sure his fans would spend more for used ones.

  9. He is going to have to start selling limited edition Abortion Flip Flops.

  11. The fact that this so called winner has spent over $100 (?) million on his innocence is staggering and incredibly funny.

  15. Best news I heard all month! I wonder if Donnie’s strategy of delay delay delay will change when he’s finally footing the bill. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if some actual right wing billionaire steps in with a huge donation to one of his PACs.

  17. His new defense will be that he can’t be put on trial because he can’t afford his lawyers.

  18. I wish I only had 6.8 million…. I’m missing a few zeros 🙁

  19. “Your honor, I need to delay this trial because my lawyers walked away because I can’t pay their bills.”

  21. I can’t imagine only having 6.7 million to pay for all of my crimes. That parking ticket, which is totally unjustified I was only parked there for three hours, is a load stone around my neck.

  24. I wonder what he’s going to try to sell next to raise money. Maybe crucifixes with him on the cross instead of Jesus? I wouldn’t put it past him.

  27. There’s an easy and completely factual and accurate way Trump and his lawyers could defend himself from all charges and indictments – plead not guilty for reason of insanity. Or lawyers file that he’s not competent to stand trial.

    His pathologies make him unable to comprehend laws or even what’s true and false. He’s simply not mentally competent to stand trial.

  28. I don’t know what the future holds but I do know that it will never matter if Trump “runs out of money,” because that phrase means something different for rich people.

  29. I’m just a normal citizen but I think it’s quite a red flag if we have a candidate for president who is about to ask for a bunch of favors from people in order to stay out of prison . The dude wouldn’t be able to get a clearance to deliver the mail we shouldn’t give him the keys to the football
