And the same people will complain about grocery prices in the same breath. Deranged cult.

[atlaustell]

Giving away your hard earned money to someone that claims to be a billionaire is the definition of insanity. 🤦‍♀️

[mycents]

If Trump is using this money for personal legal bills then the money should be considered income and taxed as income.

[goodday]

It's genuinely insane that anyone sends money to a self described billionaire.

[kizzmiaz]

Of course they don't mind. They're way past rationalizing paying for a rapist.

[luwiley]

Remind them that E Jean Carroll along with the rest of us non cult members are laughing at them.

[gerade-aus]

I witnessed the same phenomenon with 700 Club and Jim and Tammy Faye.

[KeithJackson-uxeh]

Yep. They will happily pay his bills while complaining they can’t afford groceries while dressed in 100 bucks of trump merch 😂

[tonipolkki]

A fool and his/her money are easily parted.

[Swnsasy]

People living paycheck to paycheck paying a "billionaires" bills😂😂 He's a great businessman, he can run this country! Yep, he raised our debt $8T, guess whose going to pay for that too!!? Smh

[gingernightmare]

DeSantis is fighting the GOP in Florida to stop paying Trump's legal fees. So far the RNC has paid almost 40 million for Trumps legal fees. I like the fact the RNC is LOSING money for this.

[Impozalla]

Habermann is absolutely right about Trump supporters willing to fork the bill to continue Trump's legal fight against the Justice department. The Trump cult is too strong for them to let go.

[walterhoenig]

Their donations go straight to E Jean Carroll.

[shihtzusrule]

wouldn't that money be considered income if it is to defend against personal litigation? We need a list of the corporate donors to him, his PAC, etc., so we can boycott those companies. Just like when billionaires quit donating to entities like Harvard if they do or don't do something they wanted them to. Nothing speaks louder than your dollar, your vote is a whisper in comparison.

[dennisfarris]

Every dime spent on "lawyers" is a dime that won't be spent on TV

[mrmacq-jktd]

and then they bitch about not having enough money

[Kimm.J]

Please donate generously to your billionaire. Don't worry about the fact that he can afford to pay all his own debts and his followers with loot to spare... but doesn't.
Your hard earned money going to support Ms.Carroll and the state of NY is appreciated!

[walterhoenig]

There are crimes going on to pay for trials for prior crimes.

$50m...let's do some simple math. $1000/hour for services (lawyer plus associate/admin support) that's 50, 000 hours. Assuming 40 hours a week and 50 working weeks in the year, that's 50, 000 / 40 / 50 = 25 "lawyers" working on all of this, which doesn't sound too far off (rough order of magnitude). Net: a lot of poor people are making a few rich people even richer.

[inthenameofthefather.]

What kind of dope pays for a billionaire's legal expenses?
