I'm not quite sure how you can reconcile those numbers.... But people are looking to bail him out, like he's some poor old man who was robbed of his retirement benefits. Even though he's got far bigger concerns than how much cash he can keep for the rest of his days.

What's the big deal? This country bailed out Trump during each of his bankruptcies, paid his bills for him, and #TrumpCult had no problem.

Meh... people can give their money where theybwant, within the law, I guess. All this fake outrage.

I thought I did, he doesn't.

It's not outrage... More like mockery. Unfortunately, I'm not quite as good at the funny as you.

We'll soon see, won't we.

Legal defense for any hearings the republicans invent. The funding site also indicates legal representation for lawsuits he may initiate as well. The only thing they excluded was any actions to challenge his retirement funds.

Okay - so these are anticipated legal fees, not ones he's already incurred?

And if idiots wanted to pay into a go fund me page for his legal bills I'd mock them too.

He's most likely suing to get his pension.

none of that was voluntary so this is especially stupid.



No one cared about trump during his bankruptcies and you need to be upset at the lawmakers, not those who take advantage of the laws.
