Trump is endlessly fundraising.

I signed up to some right wing list to see what they were up to during 2016. Now I get an daily email from Trump begging for money. “Send a dollar, make a recurring payment, etc.” It’s often keyed to the news cycle, “Trump did this to MAGA…send money” Every day, sometimes several times a day Trump is fundraising.

That’s why one of his first acts after getting sworn in was to start his 2020 campaign. Endless fundraising.

I’d like to point out that we are now moving out of the residual effects of the Obama economy, while feeling the full force of the Trump economy.

Hang on to your butts.

Avenatti has stated that Trump paying Cohen’s legal bills may be “witness tampering”. Makes sense to me. I hope this is an(other) indictable offense against Trump.

If he was never an official staffer, then even paying on on the russia issue could be a problem (although there’s probably endless litigation available on what constitutes an “official” position). But someone at Cohen’s law firm is probably even now reviewing the heck out of case law and out of whatever procedures they put in place to separate Cohen’s campaign-related liability from his general criminal liability.

And if they file to be replaced you’ll know the jig is up.

So is there ever a fine print section telling the would be donor that donations will be used for legal fees?

Granted, I’m in a mid sized city, but construction seems to be doing very well here. I am on the board of a non-profit building a botanical garden and as we take bids for construction we are finding prices going up because companies are so busy. May not last of course, but that was what I learned last week at our board meeting.

The whole damn Trump family has spent their LIVES using other people’s money to pay their bills. Campaigns, charities, what have you. They are the scummiest.
