Former President Donald Trump will likely run out of legal defense funds this summer, Bloomberg reported.
In 2023, Trump spent $51.2 million on legal costs and has a further $23.5 million available for lawyers’ fees — but that source of money will likely dry up around July, the report said.
The ex-president may now be forced to turn to a few undesirable options to cover his costs.
Man, I really hope the RNC decides to help him so he can bankrupt them too
There is a reason why he is replacing RNC leadership with family and other cronies.
Well this is a hypothetical that puts a pep in my step!
To imagine that the republican party would defund itself to save this criminal.
Why do you think state GOP chapters are filing for bankruptcy?
That would be so wonderfully deliciously fantastic. Please let it be reality!

Isn’t that his entire M.O.?
undesirable options to cover his costs
Sounds like a foot channel on only fans.
I’d pay bigly to see those tremendous feet.

I interpret this as a joke, but we’ve gotten a couple reports on this being wishing death on the commenter. So, can you just clarify if this is a joke or not?
Ofc it’s a joke, not wishing harm on anyone. Deleted it but sorry to everyone who misinterpreted my comment.
Thank you!
Sure is. Remember Trump Steaks? And Trump University?
Fortunately $399 sneaker grift has landed just in time
Yes $400k will put a huge dent in this. As it’s supposed to be a limited run of 1000, unless of course there’s going to be more fraud involved.
The 399 sneakers were just to draw attention to his other sneakers that are more affordable on the same site. Those will presumably bring in the lion share of the money.
Donald’s shoddy products are going to fuck up some spines.
Nah, most of the people buying them will be in mobility scooters.
And people starting gofundme’s to help him with his legal bills lol.
Just in time for the crimimal verdicts!

Like selling ugly scene clothing? Magats sporting the ugly red hats and gold T sneakers. Worst brand ever.
Don’t worry, he’ll end up still having enough funds for a legal defence after the RNC is backrupt due to it. We will find out in 5 years or so that it turns out Russia backed his funds for legal defense and some loans or something. He’ll say it was due to a ‘great business deal because Russia are great business people, maybe the greatest’ due to like a $500 million ‘business’ deal to put Trump’s name on a random warehouse out in the middle of Siberia.
after the RNC is backrupt due to it
I consider this an absolute win.
The nice thing about this is he’s using SuperPAC money that diverts from the RNC Campaign funding.
I really wanna see his hair wet. I wonder how long those whispy little strands really are. I bet they’re like a foot long, all coming from the one random spot on his bloated head that still grows hair with any structural integrity, the rest being brittle and unable to hold any shape, even with a whole bottle of hairspray applied. Disgusting. I’m mad at myself for making myself think this thought lol hence why I am now cursing all of you.
He just twirls a few long strands on the top of his head like spaghetti every morning then hair sprays the crap out of it
We need a hero - a hero with a garden hose. While Trump always looks foolish, making him look the right kind of foolish might just shake a few of his cult away from him
He did the ice bucket challenge during the 2016 race if you want to see that. It was less eventful than you’d think.
Damn, even after his sick new sneaker line?
Is there a law against using party donations on legal defense? If so, then I’ll take “things he is charged with in Nov 2024.”
There is, but it doesn’t cover PACs. He’s technically not been using campaign fund, but asking supporters to give for his campaign with some very specific fine print to say they’re actually giving the PAC to do as they please.
It’s shady but not illegal.
It’s shady but not illegal.
It can’t help but think that should be used as a catchphrase for advertising purposes, by the political parties.
I guess the plus side of Trump being president before is all the loopholes the public have learned about. We are living in a very very failed democracy.
We are living in a very very failed democracy.
Democracy really requires ethical people being voted into office, as we can’t watch them 24/7 since we are busy with our own lives. Unfortunately we citizens don’t seem to be able to do that very well.
If he’s asking for people to give to a PAC doesn’t that shift from shady to illegal? I thought politicians had to be completely separate from the PAC.
I’m sure he can just keep selling his golden sneakers to launder rubles from Russia.
(Wow… we live in a world where that sentences makes sense)
That’s the end of the article. He’s selling $399 Trump-branded “never surrender” sneakers claiming it’s “not political”
“never surrender” sneakers from the guy who checks notes surrendered.
Right. He claims everything else about him is political, like being prosecuted for crimes or civil offenses, but not the shoe selling though…
It’s not political…or at least it’s more criminal than political.
Nah just another 500 NFTs
Correction: Trump supporters will likely run out of legal defense funds by summer
Trump isn’t running out of anything, unless you count whatever hall leads to the bathroom, in which he won’t make it in time
Correction of emphasis, Trump supporters will run out of funds in the summer. Then he’ll shift to the RNC paying his legal bills. They already were, prior to when he declared as a candidate for 2024.
There’s always money in the banana stand. Eric needs a break from running it anyways.
Love this reference! It got me thinking - is Eric more like Buster? Jnr is Gob. Baron is George Michael. Melania is Lindsay, ivanka is maeby, Ivana was Lucille, Lucille 2 is about to take over the RNC. Michael cohen = Barry Zuckercorn and Trump is George Sr who may have committed some light treason and definitely hires the worst lawyers.
No he won’t. He’ll fleece his cult and/or rob the coffers of his and/or the GOP campaign funds to cover his legal bills.
Putin will get the tab. Commentators in this thread aren’t seeing the big picture.
Why would he? He’s running the whole GOP now. Surely he could find another tool to serve his needs without all of Trump’s baggage.
Trump has zero baggage with the republican traitor filth. He is their Orange Calf.
He has almost half a billion dollars in baggage at the moment and Pooty ain’t exactly flush right now.
Half a bil is nothing when it comes to reversing the outcome of the Cold War.
Putin is the richest man in the world. He has fleeced Russia for at least a trillion. Half a billion is nothing to him in exchange for controlling the US.
