Steve Rattner: Biden leads Trump in fundraising, legal fees drain Trump campaign

If trump is so rich why does he need to use donations for his legal fees?

[tnnsboy]

This doesn't look right, kind of like when someone running for office pays their own bills with campaign money, just like what happened with George Santos.

[quackersna]

Have never gave a penny to a politician in my life, never even checked that $3 box on my tax form, but i will 100% make donations to the Biden Harris campaign. Its not even that im a fan of either one, and in fact, i sort of despise Harris for things she did in the past, but trump is too dangerous to ignore and i will give to anyone who is in opposition to him.

Some of the same people giving money to pay TFG's legal fees are the same ones screaming about not being able to make their ends meet and living paycheck to paycheck... Somebody, explain it to me

[samlanganke]

How can this be legal? George Santos is indicted for spending campaign money for personal expenses. Legal fees ARE personal expenses.

[elpuma]

This is the only country that i know of that the poor donates to the rich.

[vin.handle]

I remember when Trump first announced in 2015 he said he would not need to ask for campaign contributions because he was so rich that he could self-finance his campaign.

God bless America - May you overcome the MAGA threat to not only America and your democracy but to the democracy movement all over the world. Hope that Biden and America win the battle so USA again can become a shiny beacon for democracy all over the world.

Tax deductions should be disallowed on money used for trump's personal legal fees

[johannorman]

and more than a million dollars spent on Melania's stylist and fashion advisor and her travel, etc. If people want to flush their money in the toilet, that's their business.

[cynthiahutchins]

Pretty sure no one running for president has ever had legal fees to this magnitude before.

[Bob-lhmg]

I don’t have much but I will give the Biden campaign as much as I can, 100bucks, to the man who is actually trying to make the country better and isn’t full of 💩 like the other guy.

[stlion]

Why do DT cult pay his legal fees ??😮😮

[stevenwilgus]

Spend the advantage wisely on the Senate races. It is long past time for Mitch to go away.

[Northcountry]

A good Start ! Now Volunteer and VOTE 💙 Save your Liberty from Diaper Don

[DrakeSmith-tnij]

There is no question that life in America is actually much better with Biden as president than it ever was when Trump was president.

There’s more of us - and this year we’re diggin deep!

[glenn]

Nice to see the gop donors keeping their crash. Too bad we still have to deal with the gop trolls.

[gwen]

VOTE BLUE 2024 through and through!!! Save OUR Democracy!!!! 💙💙💙💙

If I were him I would stop hiring lawyers since he is always losing his cases! His lawyers tend argue Jay Walking tickets to second degree murder charges!
