$3 Billion Windfall for Trump? Maybe, but Not Yet The long-awaited merger between DWAG and TMTG was approved by shareholders today. While this SPAC endeavor is complex, the short story is a stock merger finally happened, such that a company with the stock symbol DJT will soon go public and its...

Why AG James May Not Come for Mar-a-Lago "There are very few people in the world with the resources to buy such a property, so the search for that buyer could take months or a year or more." (Source) And of the people who have the resources, an even smaller number would be interested in buying...

Quotes of the Week "I find it strange that Trump is essentially claiming that he either does not have sufficient assets to cover a bond or that bonding companies don’t trust him," Gershman added. "Either claim is stunningly embarrassing to someone who has flaunted his wealth and power."...

Maybe not as much as they once did. Trump has lost 200,000 donors, compared to this time in the 2000 election cycle. You don't see these donors rising up to support someone else. They're simply fading into the background as they go quiet. Many of them may yet vote for Trump but by closing their...

More Disclosure Pressure on Trump "Violations of Thursday's order could result in the judge ordering more penalties against Trump Org, the judge warned. Those potential penalties include throwing the company into receivership and the possible forced dissolution of assets, the judge said in last...

Of Course Trump Comes First ... He's Trump! If you're a Republican candidate not named Trump, your party is no longer of use to you. Trump comes first. Go out and win your down-ballot election on your own. Trump's lawyers have been paid $76 million over the last two years. They need more! Go...

Attorney General James is wasting no time as she takes these initial steps. I'm still thinking Trump may actually have the cash lined up to put down on his appeal and thereby forestall enforcement of the half-billion-dollar judgement against him. I'm thinking his statements to date may have...

Trump's Save America PAC; The Well is Running Dry It seems Republican donors are shying away from funding Trump's legal bills and are beginning to send thoughts and prayers instead.

Trump and RNC Establish Joint Fundraising Committee With Trump's takeover of the Republican Party now complete, Trump wasted no time transforming the party's fundraising efforts to meet his personal needs. The Trump/MAGA toxicity had already seeped into the party with negative fundraising...

I was thinking Hillary. Often, when confronted with a difficult truth, MAGA folks like to change the subject to Hillary. They have whataboutism refined to a fine art, and they actually consider it a valid form of argument. It works in their echo chambers. It does not work in court or real life.

The February, 2024 Fundraising Numbers are In: Trump: $20 million raised in Feb; $42 million cash on hand. Biden: $53 million raised in Feb; $155 million cash on hand. Q. How can this be? Why is there such a wide discrepancy? A. Trump has lost 200,000 donors. Also, this. Biden is making Trump...

Good question. I wish I knew the answer.

Also for the Record "Some of Trump’s supporters are puzzled that he has not yet been bailed out by one of his wealthy donors. The answer is that he has a history of not paying what he owes. From the world’s biggest banks to America’s smallest contractors, Trump is expert at stiffing creditors...

You DO Understand This, Right? If the Supreme Court agrees that Trump is immune from prosecution because he was president, current President Biden could order Trump killed and Biden would be immune from prosecution.

For the Record "Mr. Trump has long bragged he is a billionaire many times over. While much of his wealth is tied up in real estate, he testified under oath less than a year ago that he had 'substantially in excess of $400 million in cash.' And after last month’s verdict, Alina Habba, one of Mr...

No, Mr. Navarro, That's Not How it Is Before reporting for prison today, former Trump aid Peter Navarro said, "They come for me, they can come for you.” No, Mr Navarro, that's not how it is. They are not coming after me because I have committed no crimes. They are coming after you because you...

Levin Asks an Interesting Question I'm still not convinced that Trump does not already have the money lined up to cover the appeal; half a billion in cash ready to deposit with the court. We'll find out for sure on Monday. That said, Levin asks an interesting question. Trump admitted 30...

Trump Broker: “A bond of this size is rarely, if ever, seen." My Response: "Fraud of this size is rarely, if ever, committed." Trump was able to post bond in the Carroll case, and he has lied to the courts before. He may yet post bond in this NY fraud case. The deadline is Monday, March 25. In...

Mike Pence Won't Endorse Trump While Pence himself is not a major influencer in the 2024 election, I have to think his decision to not vote for Trump (in addition to not endorsing him) is representative of a number of Republicans who can support Trump no more. They may not vote for Biden, but...
