    The sad and frustrating part of this is that he has plenty of cult followers who would gladly set up a GoFundMe for their “billionaire” “king”.

      Fine, let them donate money to this pit vs. donate to fund his campaign or other Republicans.

        Individual donations don’t matter in a world where the Kochs have virtually unlimited funds in order to sway elections the way they like.

        Trump’s not going to pay a dime anyway. No one holds him accountable, so why would he?

      I’m good with separating those fools from their money. Ms. Carroll gets paid, and Trump’s rubes have less money to spend donating to other harmful shit like republican campaigns or churches covering up sexual assault.

      With how he’s been acting I think that well is drying up these days. As much Russia wants to contribute they have their war to pay for and sanctions make it more difficult (I hope), I’m sure his supporters are less able to contribute since they’ve given so much already, I doubt he’s getting many new supporters. He’ll still get more than most people can reasonably make in 20 years but it’ll never be enough for Trump.

      Plus I think his legal bills are catching up these days funny how a billionaire has trouble paying lawyers for even a handful of cases eh? That’s like pay a few big firms type of money available, if it were there. Maybe it’s just because no one will work for him but I imagine he could get a hundred decent lawyers if he paid properly.

        State RNC branches are going bankrupt, too, as people are donating money to national and Trump and not them. Also Trump had the national RNC paying his legal bills but they backed out… and Trump’s PAC (which he has diverted money from to pay legal bills) asked for a $60 million refund from another group due to mounting legal bills.
