Help desperately needed for Trump

Posted

On Fox News I recently heard Trump stooge GOP Senator Lindsey Graham, on the verge of tears mind you, pleading with the public to donate money to Trump to help pay his mounting legal bills. In the meantime Trump is travelling in his personal $100 million dollar 757 jet adorned with gold seatbelts with various stops for rallies in his bid for the 2024 GOP Presidential nomination. Of course if he needs a break he can go back to his residence at his Forbes’ estimated $300 million dollar Mar-a-Lago estate-luxury country club that sits on 17 acres of valuable South Florida land. He could take in a round of golf if he’s up to it. If Trump gets tired or bored of his surroundings he can always fly up to the ‘ Big Apple ‘ to stay at his 3-floor penthouse in his 68-story Trump Tower. When well-rested he could continue his nomination campaign nationwide flying in his 757 jet. After a gruelling day of rallies he could head to his country club in Bedminster, N.J. After enjoying a fine meal, some entertaining TV and a good night’s sleep at his club, he’s ready to continue on the campaign trail to the delight of his supporters. Trump feels invigorated so a round of golf is in order before he takes flight. 
   

After finishing up his rallies he still has some energy in reserve so he decides to go abroad. The pilot gets his instructions and Trump is off for a round of golf at his country club in Turnberry, Scotland. Enough of Trump’s possible intinerary scenarios. Let’s get the numbers. According to Forbes, Trump’s present net worth is $2.5 billion dollars. This is a noticeable decline from the Forbes’ estimated net worth of $3.2 billion dollars as of March 2023. Consequently Trump has dropped substantial steps on Forbes’ billionaire list ladder placing 1217 in the world as of April 2023, down from his previous 892 ranking. 
   

So all of you Trump supporters and blind loyalists, you should heed Senator Graham’s plea of sending in your $25 or $30 dollars or whatever your means will allow to help your guy pay his platoon of attorneys. Trump needs as much donated money as he can get so those legal fees don’t eat into his $2.5 billion dollar net worth. With his outsized yet fragile ego I don’t think Trump could endure another drop on the Forbes-listed billionaire ladder. I have to stop now. I can’t continue. Marie, I need a box of tissues.
