Today's Tiedrich rant: boo fucking hoo -- Trump campaign can't raise a dime as Haley donors defect to Biden



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/boo-fucking-hoo-trump-campaign-cant

hey, it turns out that Little Donny Fuckface isn’t just personally broke, and seemingly unable to prevent his shitty golf motels from being confiscated. no ma’am, his presidential campaign is in the shitter, too.

that’s right — the sUcCeSsFuL bUsInEsSmAn who famously bankrupted six casinos is doing a bang-up job of bankrupting his presidential campaign. ...

The drop in Trump’s small-dollar donations is magnified by a second problem: Many wealthy Republican donors have yet to commit to giving millions of dollars toward a pro-Trump political action committee, or to using their extensive networks to raise money for the campaign, according to people familiar with the matter.


I know, right? it’s hard to believe that deep-pocket plutocrats are hesitant to roll the dice on a visibly-deteriorating demento who is going to use their money to pay the lawyers working on his four criminal trials.

of course, that’s why Trump turned the RNC into his personal ATM: so he could siphon the money that should be going to down-ballot campaigns into his own pockets. except — oopsies! — there’s that pesky little you can’t squeeze blood from a stone thing. if there’s no money coming in, there’s no money to steal. so sad!
