70. Trump spends millions more than he's raised in 2023

Sun Aug 6, 2023, 01:43 PM

Aug 2023

According to Politico, Trump has spent millions more than he’s raised in 2023; Politico says that even the small-money rubes Trump fleeces online and during his carnival stops town to town, are giving less money and each subsequent indictment brings in less small donor enthusiasm. Financially, and therefore in terms of election chances, real damage is being done, and the fact that Trump is publicly complaining about something strategists and consultants would definitely prefer he keep internally, and that any rational candidate would shows its hurting them bad.

That alone is already a massive benefit of the criminal investigations and prosecutions of Trump, family and associates. Any time these assholes have to spend time and money defending themselves, its less time and money they have to inflict damage on our Republic.
