But there will likely be a go fund me page for him and each for the kids, but that is the wonderful thing about attorneys, they will swarm you with professional help until all of the money is gone. So eventually he will not be able to afford to stay out of jail.
He better start negotiating a deal now while his assets still have value.

(1,648 posts)When all is said and done, it would not surprise me if he has been using the U.S. Treasury to extend his bankrupt failures and to keep living his lavish lifestyle for him and his spawn. The fact that he lives on fast food should have been the first clue to America that he is cash poor.

(3,407 posts)Funds to his personal pocket through stock purchases and rake in large sums on insider trading information, preventing Trumps obvious attempts at fraud. I am sure Trump asked for kickbacks on the tax deal, on tariffs, on other administrative acts he performed that benefits corporations or foreign countries. Of course money laundering through Trumps properties are still very difficult to trace now, but once he is out of office, I doubt any of the 300 federal judges he appointed will be able to protect him. He will be able to maintain attorneys until his assets are liquidated.
I had the impression right after inauguration that Trump Org didnt have the cash flow to use the Trump jet or helicopter, where Eric and Don jr were spotted several times flying commercial.

(60,010 posts)I don't think anyone really knows how much the PAC has collected over the past 4 years.
We do know friends and family are paid from it, and obviously there was enough for Parscale to live huge
from it.
We know trump stiffs vendors, and hasn't paid any of the cities for the rally expenses.
And we know how he uses PAC money, from the details of how he ripped off the trump Foundation
that was supposed to go to kids with cancer and instead was siphoned for trump business expenses.
And we know that all 3 of the trump "kids" were involved because all 3 were sent to anti-fraud school by
the judge who found them guilty of stealing the $$$.
Scammers and grifters, the whole bunch.
