Thanks.

“Trump has paid for the majority, but not all, of his presidential campaign out of his own pocket. Trump’s self-funding accounts for 72 percent of his campaign spending so far ($45.7 million in campaign loans and $63.3 million in expenditures as of May 31). Trump raised the remainder from mostly small donors.”

Total campaign was $337 million of which $66 million was from Trump. That is 19%.

Small contributions: 25%

Large: 14%

What Trump might do is to hire a JAG as a personal employee.

Such a JAG would have both a security clearance and a knowledge of military matters.

“Every nutjob on this forum that backs the Ukraine Slaughter hates President Trump.”

Agreed.

“The known legal expense of President Trump since he left office is about $56 million.”

The founding fathers had experienced the wrath of an all-powerful king and created a constitution to limit government abuses.

The constitution worked pretty good, not perfect, but pretty good for several decades.

Now, the feral government with unlimited funds, and unlimited police powers, are openly crushing effective opposition. Think about the power a prosecutor has with $500 million to spend enforcing two million pages of rules in the federal register.

Remember, ignorance of the law is not a defense. Neither is innocence if they don’t like you.

Are you a leftist, are you connected to the criminal enterprise currently controlling the levers of this nation, are you being deceptive like Open Secrets also, or are you just plain stupid?

Because your claim is not true at all. These donors are in some way connected to Disney or their subsidiaries and affiliates, it is not donations by the Disney Corporation at all.

This table lists the top donors to this candidate in the 2020 cycle.
(The same applies to 2016 as well.)

The money came from the organizations' PACs; their individual members, employees or owners; and those individuals' immediate families.

At the federal level, the organizations themselves did not donate, as they are prohibited by law from doing so.

Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates.

If they were honest they would say “We need money for mayhem and murder.”

Thanks, but I’m not sure that’s correct. Look back at the top donors to Trump in 2020 at the link I provided:

https://www.opensecrets.org/2020-presidential-race/donald-trump/contributors?id=N00023864

It shows Disney, at #4, and the guy you mentioned as separate, at #5.

What basis did you have for thinking that?

..."which is one of the many things that could be hurting Trump."

What's been going on these past 8 years with the constant attacks on this country, and the people by the deep state, and globalists, while using Trump as their means to get to us, has hurt this country far more than it has hurt President Trump. I don't understand why you think this is all about Trump. It's not. It's about Nazis getting control of this country for the remaining days of your life. Look past your nose to see what the real agenda is, and where it is going to lead.

Thank Goodness those funds are available. Trump has those legal fees because he is running for President and deep state is desperate to stop him. Trump supporters donate so that Trump can return to the White House. He needs to throw off these illegal attacks by the DOJ and corrupt prosecutor to do that.

Ridiculous. The P{resident has the ability to declassify documents by stating they are declassified. The “crime” is no crime.

I'm not the one who thinks it's all about Trump, it's HIM and HIS supporters who think that. I've said several times I'll vote for Trump if he's the Republican on the ballot in November 24, because I'll be voting for WHOEVER that is. It's many of his supporters who say they will only vote for Trump, and they'll even write him in, even if he has no party, or no chance. That's obsession with Trump, not me. I just want to win, not die at the altar of Trump, which is what he's more than willing to have us do.

"Sadly, it seems like Trump’s attorneys are more interested in maximizing their billings that being efficient with their time."

So please tell me the names of all those other lawyers and legal firms that represented former Presidents being set up, and indicted by the FBI/DOJ, State Attorney Generals, and District Attorneys, and how they managed to spend less hours, and charge less while exonerating all their Presidential clients that had Federal charges brought against them? Maybe you can round up the billing records of those former Presidents, and show what each President paid their lawyers, with a break-down of the hours the lawyers spent working on each President's case.

I think you are arguing with a nazi right here.

Don’t feed the enemy agitators.
