I suspect that his history of skipping out on bills, especially for legal services, precedes him easily. It could well be that a smart law firm won't even load a word processing program to write a letter for him without a retainer, and I would not be AT ALL surprised to find that said retainer was in the low seven figures range.

what he grifted all that money from his cult for? Wasn't it for his legal fees and recount efforts? I imagine all of that ended up in the Trump coffers, somehow. Hundreds of millions of dollars, I believe it was.

I read that the lease for the Trump Hotel is for sale again and that his businesses have suffered serious declines because of the virus and his big mouth. I really want to see him penniless. Living on the streets would be fine.

As as for his ignorant cult that continues to support this coward draft dodging con artist.... I hope everybody sent they raise gets taken by the legal system.

another letter in the mail this week, with the smallest donation being $500. And if you don't uncheck the magic box, they'll tell Donald personally, plus they'll be deducting that $500 weekly from your checking account.
That's the way Donnie rolls.

Donald can't do much better than that.

All he has to do is plead guilty and accept responsibility for his screwups, and serve whatever sentence of jail time and fines are levied on him.

But he'd rather go out screaming about how much of a victim *he* is.
