Maga people will be stupid enough to bail him out.... Just watch
They will try, but i doubt they can afford $464m.
They don't ALL need two kidneys!
Isnt like 30-40% of america MAGA?(complete guess i dont really kniw american politics) If you take 30% that means its ~100mil MAGAs. So every one of them pays 5 bucks then they bail him out.
No, 30-40% of voters. Big difference.
Voters is like 40-50%, they'd need to shill out 10 bucks instead.
Then again, voting is one thing, sending money is another. I'd guess less than 10% would be doing that
Yeah, I'm pretty sure most of the money Trump fundraised was from "new converts" of people that never voted until Trump entered politics. And those people are probably tapped out now or disillusioned
The Republican party has long been funded by big donors for so long that the individual member has a deep distrust in individual donations. At the very least, I know my parents are in that boat: they think it's a scam.
Your math works out to about 400 Billion, not 400 million.
I'm a fucking idiot
It does get hard to keep track of all the zeroes once you're talking about money in regards to the oligarch class.
It's hard to tell how many there really are, because they are disproportionately noisy.
Plus, he's been pumping them for so long, there may not be much left in that well.
Paying for other is communism, you know. They can't do that.
Giving any money to poors is communism. Giving government handouts to the wealthy is good and just.
They started as soon as the judgement was handed down the other month!
If they do at least that's half a billion less they can donate into PACs and such.
