Trump's not going to pay a dime anyway. No one holds him accountable, so why would he? permalink fedilink source parent [–] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] orbitz@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago (2 children) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] moody@lemmings.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) funny how a billionaire has trouble paying lawyers for even a handful of cases eh Assuming he would pay them if he could afford to permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vind@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Has he ever paid his lawyers? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] veroxii@aussie.zone 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) I read last year that lawyers now refuse to work for him unless paid up front since he's left so many of them out to dry. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Why don’t they just sue him? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] veroxii@aussie.zone 5 points 2 years ago Cause he gets the next set of lawyers to stall the first set of lawyers? 🤷♂️ permalink fedilink source parent [–] squiblet@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago State RNC branches are going bankrupt, too, as people are donating money to national and Trump and not them.
