Anyone noticed how Trumps legal plan has a lot of weird overlap with Sovereign Citizens?
Dudes repeatedly having to be told "you can't just declare immunity mate" so he goes on Truth Social and malds about how unfair it is.
Well of course they're similar. Both Trump and Sovereign Citizens are idiots with no conceptual idea of how our government works.
If you have lawyers you can pay, or pretend to pay, to make your stupid arguments, all of a sudden courts take you seriously.
That's the baffling part to me. He doesn't pay them. He doesn't even pretend to pay them. And yet new lawyers keep popping up to argue his cases for him.
His supporters pay them very well. They get bait and switched into donating to his PACs to instead of his campaign directly and those PACs pay the legal bills.
"As Trump's legal battles ramped up in the second half of last year, so did his legal spending -- with his political action committees reporting a total of $34 million in legal expenditures in the second half of last year compared to roughly $26 million in the first half, according to the disclosures.
Trump's leadership PAC, Save America, continued to foot much of Trump's legal bills in the second half of last year, spending nearly $26 million on legal fees and other related expenses, while only raising $6 million."
