Former President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee are, right now, facing a serious financial disadvantage in the early stages of the general election fight against President Joe Biden and his $100 million war chest, new filings show.

But with Trump becoming his party's 2024 presumptive presidential nominee earlier this month, he and the RNC are full steam ahead to make up for their fundraising lag -- launching a joint operation and planning a high-dollar event with GOP megadonors.

February financial filings for the Biden and Trump campaigns and respective Democratic and Republican parties, released on Wednesday, illustrate how much more money Biden has raised and currently has on hand compared to Trump, funds that can be used toward advertising, staffing and organizing.

Financial filings also detail the extent to which Trump's legal bills have eaten into the cash flow of some of his allied political groups. He faces 88 criminal charges and multiple civil issues -- including the threat of seizure of his assets related to a $464 million judgment in a New York civil fraud case.

1. RNC

Republican donors are paying $183,000 a day in legal bills for the orange barnacle.

Scrape him off and the political system will be moving is the right direction again.

2. Maybe RNC can just attach their bank accounts; like tapping maple trees. Just drain it into a bucket.

3. He should have been nicer

To Taylor Swift - or Jay Z - ya know -

The 'woke' radical left .

He's a monumental asshole and he deserves this.

4. The media amplifies him.

For free.
The fundraising pays his legal bills. The rest of the Republican candidates? You've got to hope TSF endorses you because that becomes a free message courtesy of the MSM. If he doesn't like you he will lambaste you and you are done. He gets more coverage than our POTUS.
He is covered so extensively he doesn't have to run ads.

10. If you want to think of this website as being

a snapshot of what's in the video news, go to the home page and look at the videos in the right hand column without clicking on them. You will see four shots of Trump and none of Biden.

Not being critical of DU, it just is what it is.
