Former President Donald Trump will likely run out of legal defense funds this summer, Bloomberg reported.

In 2023, Trump spent $51.2 million on legal costs and has a further $23.5 million available for lawyers’ fees — but that source of money will likely dry up around July, the report said.

The ex-president may now be forced to turn to a few undesirable options to cover his costs.

That’s only an issue if he intends on paying for any of it, rather than getting in office again and declaring himself and all his flunkies immune.

Considering jan 6, he has some history of trying such plans.

Anyone who does any work for him without getting payment up front is a fool who deserves what they’re about to get

I’m sure he can just keep selling his golden sneakers to launder rubles from Russia.

(Wow… we live in a world where that sentences makes sense)

That’s the end of the article. He’s selling $399 Trump-branded “never surrender” sneakers claiming it’s “not political”

Right. He claims everything else about him is political, like being prosecuted for crimes or civil offenses, but not the shoe selling though…

It’s not political…or at least it’s more criminal than political.

He wont run out of money. Even if those idiots who support him run out of money, his comrade putin will help him out. Or even orban, who has piles of our money.

Correction: Trump supporters will likely run out of legal defense funds by summer

Trump isn’t running out of anything, unless you count whatever hall leads to the bathroom, in which he won’t make it in time

Correction of emphasis, Trump supporters will run out of funds in the summer. Then he’ll shift to the RNC paying his legal bills. They already were, prior to when he declared as a candidate for 2024.
