Former president blasts New York Attorney General Letitia James as an ‘insane radical’ in a desperate plea for cash – claiming Democrats are trying to ‘intimidate’ him into abandoning his campaign for the White House

Donald Trump has sent out a panicked fundraising message to his supporters as he begs them to help foot his ballooning legal bills. 

The desperate memo, titled “Keep your filthy hands off Trump Tower!”, comes as the Monday deadline to pay his $464m bond in his New York fraud trial judgement ticks ever closer.

“KEEP YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF TRUMP TOWER!” the text reads, linking to an accompanying memo that states: “Insane radical Democrat AG Letitia Jameswants to SEIZE my properties in New York. THIS INCLUDES THE ICONIC TRUMP TOWER!”

It continues: “Democrats think this will intimidate me. They think that if they take my cash to stifle my campaign, that I’ll give up! Here’s one thing they don’t know: WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER!”

The frantic tone of the plea stands in stark contrast to the statement issued by Trump spokesman Steven Cheung to CNN on Wednesday in which he dismissed the network’s reporting that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee was in “panic mode” over the matter as “pure bulls*** and fake news”.

Hope his tower get sized, he dies from the stressful situation, the tower get on a legal limbo never to be part of the Trump family again.

It should happen right before the election though so the GOP doesn't have time to find another nutjob to put in his place.

They already don't. The closest they had to a candidate was nikki haley and she is now just as hated by "the base" as cheney or romney.

And for as much damage as trump et al have done: It is well worth looking up clips of the times he said stuff like "I am not against vaccinations" and actually got booed by the crowd. He is not the source of the evil and is instead just a symptom of it and needs to play to his base as much as any politician.

So if he does have a truly tragic and sad heart attack: There basically won't be a republican candidate for POTUS this fall. We'll just speedrun to the "they stole the election, get your guns" stage of 2024.

Has anybody else been reading that in its Arabic translation lately, or is it just me?

this guy sexually assaulted at least a few other humans. he is a source of evil.

I think what they're getting at is that he's not giving his base their fears, he's just willfully activating them for political clout. I don't think anyone is disagreeing that Trump himself is evil.

Thry'd accuse the Democrats of murder.

Im hoping he goes King Kong, rips off his shirt and starts climbing the side of the building.

[-] FaceDeer@fedia.io 10 points 2 years ago

Massive downside to that: photos will exist of Trump shirtless.

[-] elliot_crane@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

You know damn well he doesn’t have the physical strength to rip a shirt.
