    In the article, it quotes him and it’s exactly what he’s doing

    “Through hard work, talent, and luck, I currently have almost five hundred million dollars in cash, a substantial amount of which I intended to use in my campaign for president,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social in all caps. “The often overturned political hack judge on the rigged and corrupt A.G. case, where I have done nothing wrong, knew this, wanted to take it away from me, and that’s where and why he came up with the shocking number which, coupled with his crazy interest demand, is approximately $454,000,000.”

      Yep. What’s weird is there are multiple posts/comments on Reddit where people are saying Trump is going to spend the money on his campaign while continuing to say he doesn’t have the money for the judgement. I don’t understand that. How do some people just not see right through Trump’s bs?

        EVERYONE sees through the bullshit

        Group 1 is MAGA and lying is fun to them. Truth is meaningless and the cruelty is the point. Trump could say “sike I lied” tomorrow and they would not care one single bit.

        Group 2 is the rest of the GOP, too scared to say anything and with no incentive to do so anyway.

        Group 3 is “enlightened centrists” aka “why should I care about the rise of fascism for I am not a Jew”.

        Group 4 is dems too scared to say literally anything because it might scare away swing voters or rile up Trump’s base. I guess focus groups have shown it’s more effective to let him dig his own grave and look like a bumbling fool than intervene and fight him on his truthless turf?

        Group 5 is us, shouting into the void.
