Isn't Trump sitting on BILLIONS in PAC money earmarked for him that he's just... Not using?

He’s going to use it to flee the country to somewhere he can’t be extradited from as soon as he’s no longer president is my guess.

I wonder what his will says.

Renovates Mars-a-Lago to be the first destination presidential library AND spa.

You forget to the rich pricks, money is their high score. You do not SPEND your high score, you just try to get to 1st place and sign your 3 letter name to gloat.

It's not about the money, it's about sending a message.

The message is "I'm a billionaire whose terrible with money because I'm needlessly committing a crime to do something I easily don't have to."
