"Donald Trump’s joint fundraising committee raised $53.9 million during the first half of this year for his presidential campaign — an enviable haul that speaks to the enthusiasm of his donors and dwarfs the sums raised by his GOP rivals.

But Trump’s political committees are burning through cash as he grapples with his mounting legal bills, according to campaign disclosures filed with the Federal Election Commission Monday night.

Trump’s Save America leadership PAC, which had more than $100 million at the beginning of last year, now has about $3.6 million in cash on hand after it became the vehicle used to pay millions of dollars in legal bills for the former president, his aides and his associates. As Trump fights federal and state investigations, his advisers have told The Washington Post that the PAC has been handling the legal bills for almost anyone drawn into the investigations if they ask Trump and his advisers for help."

Hopefully, the members of Donald Trump’s peanut gallery—who’ve been paying his legal bills—will realize they’re throwing good money away on a bad, bad cause.

....the small donors seem perfectly content to fund the billionaire's mounting legal bills.

Maybe this is how people “pray” under capitalism? (If viewed as a “religion”, of sorts).

I saw a bunch of people on Twitter yesterday claiming it was either a lie, or perfectly fine, that $132,000 in Save America PAC money went to Melania's hair dresser for "consulting fees".
