Any Trump supporters out there, I want you to think about something.

One of the reasons you originally supported Trump is that he was supposedly rich enough to fund his own campaign. Then you sent him - supposedly a man worth $10 billion at one point - piles of money. He begged you for it over and over. He needed your help to fight the system, to "stop the steal," to "make America great again," and you gladly opened your wallets without ever wondering why a billionaire needed your money and couldn't fund his campaigns on his own.

That billionaire now has a GoFundMe. Roll that around in your head. He has a GoFundMe because he can't (or won't) spend his own earned income as a billionaire real-estate tycoon to settle judgments against him that - by his own claims - amount to roughly 1/20th his net worth.

Why? Try to explain why in a way that doesn't make you sound like the world's biggest sucker and the victim of a con artist.

If my math is correct, at that rate, he only has a little less than 11 years to go to raise the target amount!

The GoFundMe is run by a random follower of his. Remember that guy who was raising money to pay for the wall and then just took the money and disappeared?

84K that isn't going to go into a superPAC, to another candidate, to the RNC, or get spent to campaign for trump.

Imagine being so stupid and depraved as to give money to help bail out a supposed billionaire (and rapist).

Oh man, they raised 0.024% of the judgement in 24 hours! ((84,000/350,000,000)*100 to yield percent)

If they manage to do that once a day every year, it'll only take them (350,000,000/84,000/365) 11 years to pay if off!

I wish I was unethical enough to grift the shit out of those rubes.

Oh before he needed $355 million, now he only needs $355 million. That $84K is an unnoticeable drop in the bucket. 😂 😂 😂

See, Russian money is currently tight because of the war. Bad timing orange old man.

Donny holding up a bucket waiting for the billionaires and millionaires who benefitted from his tax reform to trickle down in his direction:

Perhaps the MAGA base is finally running out of money for their champion to piss away. Though if they had any more, I'm sure Trump would be willing to spend to his very last supporter.

At this rate it’ll only take about 11 1/2 years to raise the full 355m.

Man, i want some of that sweet rube money.

If hypothetically, i created a gofundme that said something along the lines of 'help support me support trump' and it had a bunch of weasel words that sounded supportive of him but just boiled down to me using the money to pay my bills while thinking about supportive scaffolding, would that be illegal?

Assuming every day the same donations pour in, it'll take about 4,227 days:

355,000,000/84,000 = 4,226.19047619

That many days divided by 365 means about 11.5 years to reach that goal.

4,226.19047619/365 = 11.5786040444

77 + 11 =88, so he'll probably be 89 before he's out of debt, assuming no other financial penalties from lawsuits happen. Or he could declare bankruptcy...

“Fools and their money are soon parted.”

Still 84K too much

I can't wait until he launches his competitor to Star Citizen.

So if you divide it out, that’s 0.0023% of the fine.

Today’s goal is $600,000,000, we just need to sell enough magazine subscriptions and all of our food stamps. This is totally achievable! Now let’s get out there and support the TRUE 51TH PRESIDENT!

When you're funding your successful billionaire businessman president to pay his court fees on the same platform used to pay for people's medical bills do you ever think maybe capitalism might have failed us?

The goal, ha!

$45/avg grift (least this time the fund’s purpose isn’t buried in the fine print)

Holy fuck the alleged billionaire needs a Go fund me. Pull your finger out of your ass bud, you're spare parts.

I hope someone is carefully monitoring these donations to determine origin....
