      If he’s convicted or imprisoned, his supporters will just consider him a martyr, the victim of a political witch hunt. If it turns out he just can’t pay, it shows him to be the loser he is, and reveals his supposedly amazing business sense as a lie.

        That’s been out in the open for quite some time, but I do not see his numbers dropping. Why would they not use that as a win - not paying the fake trial money! Witch-hunt !!1!

            It will still be “our guy” against the government and wicked judges. I can’t see it hurting him at all in the race. Someone will front the money - it’s a golden opportunity for a lot of high stakes players to “save” him

              Would be a great opportunity for Russia to funnel the money to him via some stooge or another. Trump’s so on sale, even compared to how on sale he normally is

              This take is missing the point a little. The undecided voter is where this matters and you won’t see them moving polls. Some districts that affect the outcome are very close calls we where a few thousand undecided going D instead of R can make a difference.

              Edit - sorry, was trying to reply to a comment higher up about losing support.

        He will just turn it around on how the DA is doing the bidding of the Biden regime to try and take him out because everyone knows he like money and people know what it’s like when the government tries to take more money from you than they should and that is what Biden is trying to do. But we’re not going to let him. You fine patriotic are going to make sure it doesn’t happen by giving to the true patriot fund.
