“Cha-Ching! Trump’s PAC Goes Big on Legal Bills: $40 Million and Counting! 💰🤔”
TL;DR: The Save America PAC, Trump’s brainchild, is shelling out mega millions ($40M!) on legal fees for the man himself and his crew. 2023 seems to be their pricey year. And guess what? Donors, your dollars might be funding more of it! 🙃
In the opulent world of political action committees, sometimes you have to spend money to…spend more money? Save America, the squad led by former Prez Donald Trump, has forked out a whopping $40 million for legal jazz in just the first half of this year. 😲 Is that some kind of record or what?
Hold onto your wallets, because this is quite the jump from their earlier expenses. Imagine this: from 2021 to 2022, they spent ‘only’ around $16 million in total on the same legal shenanigans. That’s like comparing a luxury yacht to a rubber dinghy! 🚤💨
Now, here’s the tea ☕. Earlier this year, a little sneaky detail from the Trump campaign noted an increase in the chunk of donor money heading to the Save America PAC. That figure went from a measly 1% to a meaty 10%. Makes you wonder: where’s all that cash going? 👀
Before the ex-President gave us a hint of his potential return to the White House in 2024, the Republican National Committee was footing most of the bill for his legal escapades. But, as soon as he hinted at a 2024 presidential gig, the RNC was like, “Sorry, pal, you’re on your own.” 🤷♀️
Speaking of money, Trump’s fortune has always been a topic of, let’s say, creative interpretation. As of this spring, the money-maestros at Forbes guessed his net worth to be around $2.5 billion. But with the legal drama ramping up, how long before he has to dig a little deeper into those pockets? 💸
And as the court battles intensify, with the former leader already facing a barrage of indictments, one has to wonder: will the PAC’s coffers keep up? And more intriguingly, how do the donors feel about their cash going toward such… judicial endeavors? 😅
