Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I read he's paying about 2 million a month for legal fees. He only just stopped campaigning recently, too. I wouldn't say he's broke so soon.
Edit: Right his PAC is paying for them sorry
Why not. My understanding is none of his businesses are profitable. His grifting is meant to be to pay back debts. None of his actions have ever spelled out liquid rich person. Lawyers and others now want to be paid in advance as he is known to not pay debts.
Liquid rich person - "Drink the rich!"
Isn't that the tape the Kremlin is supposed to have?
This is golden!! :D
The pee tape, if it exists, will be the mildest Trump scandal compared to all the other stuff.
Yup, Trump got caught advocating and boasting about sexual assault and people still supported him. Trump's supporters wouldn't even care and hand wave it away with "He peed on Obama's bed. Fuck that guy."
You're giving him too much credit in assuming he pays his debts.
Didn't he just sell mar a Lago as well?

According to this, no. That was a rumor fueled by a mistake/misclick
Most of his estate is in real estate in Manhattan and Las Vegas. So yeah, not at all liquid rich.
Except he isn't the one paying those legal fees. They're being covered by political donors through one of his PACs
He definitely hasn't stopped campaigning.
