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”.

With a Planned Parenthood and an all-you-can-eat salad bar and a gym and a school on the ground floors.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 51 points 7 months ago

And a courthouse.

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 48 points 7 months ago

They like dog whistles on the other side. Locate a office of the Bureau of Land Management there.

Rename the building to: BLM Tower

[-] BlackRing@midwest.social 9 points 7 months ago

I like the cut of your jib.

[B]acon [L]ettuce and [M]eaty tomato sandwiches in front.

[-] Numhold@feddit.de 17 points 7 months ago

I think there‘s no need to be so blunt. Just rename it for what it is: Office Building of Awful Modern Architecture (O.B.A.M.A.).

[-] mPony@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

I think ANTIFA Tower has a nicer ring to it.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 6 points 7 months ago

Combine DEA and ATF to form the Alcohol, Narcotics, Tobacco, Incendiaries and Firearms Authority.

Put it there.

The Barack Obama Center for Diversity and Inclusion

[-] excitingburp@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago

A few entire floors dedicated to pro bono immigration attorneys.

[-] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 7 months ago

And some sort of homeless shelter in the penthouse

[-] prole@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

Put a madrassa in there

Public assistance is just a crutch. It only will drive him to drugs and a life of dependency. He'll be fine once he gives up all that Starbucks and avocado toast.

[-] KillerTofu@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago

Fuck, I love this idea so much. Maybe a health clinic on the ground floor too.

[-] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

The ground floor mostly a Walgreens and the lobby, I lived a few blocks from it at 71 Broadway.

[-] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

House the migrants that the republic governors keep trafficking to NYC.

[-] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Turn his apartment into a museum open to the public.

I think a public restroom would be more appropriate. With a picture of his face in each urinal. Though he'd probably enjoy that.
