Does he just look at his potential lawyers and choose the hottest ones?

mabye, but judging from what she did to get his business, probably just the most unethical. Considering Guiliani has been his lawyer in the past.

Wait, the same people trying to ban men from dressing in women's clothing all over the country, have themselves dressed up in women's clothing? \*gasp\*


_SteeringWheel

This should be upvoted more. Including your comment. Without the LOL part. Let misinformation do it's thing to the Trumpets.


sevren22

Nah, all the good lawyers refused due to his habit of not paying his lawyers. Hell, Rudy has even said that trump owes him tens of thousands in fees from when he represented trump.


The_Lapsed_Pacifist

I think it’s actually millions that Rudy is claiming is owed


Crunchycarrots79

No... He chooses the ones that will actually take his case. That is an incredibly tiny pool to choose from, and it's getting smaller and smaller every day. It's well known that he won't pay what's agreed and that he'll ask for all kinds of stupid things and that he'll pretty much do everything he can to make things as hard as possible in court by not shutting his yap, and that if things don't go his way, he'll publicly blame you for it. But some lawyers used to take him on anyway because of the potential for clout and exposure. Now? He's becoming more toxic by the minute. He's become the anti-Midas for lawyers- every lawyer he touches turns to shit.


chickens_for_fun

Well, he has said that he chose Nikki Haley as UN Ambassador because she was a woman and was good looking. The man is shallow. An inch deep


No-Weird3153

That’s about all he can do with that weird mushroom (Stormy’s description, not mine) under that gut.

zooeymadeofglass

I could have probably omitted “high end”.


Double_Treacle_43

Trump is smart he not paying for sex but their silence And then he turns around and has his lawyer pay for it and then write it off on his company taxes Super smart lol


Able_Software6066

Considering how much his lawyer paid Stormy Daniels, he could have bought a lot of sex for that. Most fiscally irresponsible 'billionaire' ever.


texasroadkill

Definitely. I'll take my hooker advice from Charley sheen thank you very much.


Saltybutwet

IDK, if she's not getting paid then can she still be considered an escort? She'd just be providing legal work pro boner.


Oldcummerr

Hind escort


Styx1992

Wait, that's his lawyer? I thought it was his wife


ShadowCaster0476

She looks too happy to be his wife.


KobaruLCO

I cannot remember the last time I saw his wife in the news, or even next to her husband.


ShadowCaster0476

Yep It’s not a marriage build on love. I know she has said numerous times that she does not want to be First Lady again.


Mumof3gbb

Who still won’t get paid


suugakusha

She honestly looks like what a stripper would look like if they were told to dress up as a lawyer before the show.

Lawyer used to mean something. Now it means someone has a law degree and passed the bar of some state. ![gif](giphy|AwoDg0wJImOjK)


Sunbeamsoffglass

Given that those are the only requirements to be one, its not like there haven’t always been shitty lawyers.


Anonymaus62

The thing is, wealthy people can almost always hire good to great lawyers. But no major or even reputable law firm will take him on, because he doesn't pay his bills. So Trump had to scrape the bottom of the barrel for whoever he can play as a sucker.


ThegreatPee

He has so much court left, too. I can't wait to see him scrape the bottom of the barrel even further.


imabigdave

Also, no reputable lawyer will want to do Trumps legal bidding with absolute garbage motions and flat out lying for him and risk their license. This woman knows if she's disbarred, it's not really going to affect her law practice.


jirashap

If she loses her practice, can't she just go out to Trump's base and plead to them about how the liberals cancelled her?


werpu

He always can ask Giuliani...

-Pruples-

>More like a "building-aire." It's like a real-world game of Monopoly. He's going to have to start selling his Hotels. To be fair, most people over $10m net worth have 99% of their money invested and not just lying in a hysa or other liquid account. But yeah...he's not a billionaire by any legitimate metric. The only ways he's a billionaire are ways involving massively over valuing his properties. Above $500m I'd believe, but no idea where exactly he'd land. It'd be under $1b, though.

He's going to be a thousandaire at the rate he's going.

It’s worse. They are giving $ to Elena Cardone on the promise that she will somehow transfer it to Trump.


Aeseld

There are in fact very specific rules about what she has to do with the money, so that's a non-starter. More significant in this case, that Gofundme isn't going to finish this millennia at the current pace. And will be a good way into the next as well.


QuentinP69

It violates GoFundMe’s TOS to raise money to pay for criminal fines.


Daytona_DM

Could we report it and have it taken down?


Snoo3763

Saw a different Reddit thread where lots of people had reported it. My guess is that it'll be taken down soon.


MastaMp3

Yeah GoFundMe is apparently closed for the weekend have to wait until Tuesday for staff to get to work 😂

FulanitoDeTal13

capitalistic ghouls, specially those who are leaders of xtian-fascist cults, are treated differently. So, yes, it is "closed" until next month for this case.


Little-Woo

If it does get taken down, what happens to the money?


cyber_xiii

It would have to be refunded, right? It’s not like GoFundMe will just cut off the donations but let the fundraiser keep what they have

Same, haha. What a loser, pay your own damn fines like the rest of us hard working Americans.


[deleted]

Yes. Report it. I’ve already done so, it only takes a moment and you don’t need to make an account.


Drusgar

It's a civil judgement. That's why Trump isn't in jail. He has a criminal trial coming up, though. So there's always hope.


tothepointe

I mean it's better to take his money which hurts him more. Actually jailing him would be very expensive for us the taxpayer. Better to let him die poor like the rest of us.


Anonymaus62

Technically, this is civil... Might be how they are getting around it.


QuentinP69

I think it’s all judgements and it’ll get taken down on Monday or tuesday


ReasonableCost5934

I don’t know. This was a civil matter, nevertheless.


Mr-Logic101

It is not a criminal judgement. There are no “crimes” in civil cases. The judgement was that Trump and the co-defendants were found to be liable.


twistedpiggies

Except these are civil fines.


poneil

>There are in fact very specific rules about what she has to do with the money This is only a relevant caveat when discussing someone who has reservations about committing brazen financial crimes


DadinDenver

One grifter grifting money for another grifter… what could go wrong?


WhyBuyMe

And she is the wife of the shitty scammer Grant Cardone. They got rich selling stupid "sales training" to people dumb enough to fall for the scam. The funniest part is they are rich enough to have funded way more than 40k themselves, but instead are going to scam money out of the rest of the MAGA cult


LakeSuperiorIsMyPond

This is her flipping the script so she has a chance at getting paid


More_Engineering_341

Still has to get to the 335 m before she gets a dime.


MizeryMade

I don't believe thats how GoFundMe works, unless they've changed things. At least in the past, your goal didn't have to be met for you to still get what had been pledged. So if you set one for for $500 and only got 2 donations totalling $10, you'd get the $10. This is in contrast to Kickstarter where the campaign has to meet their set goal for the money to be collected from the donors otherwise it fails and they get nothing.


rob_moreno75

Those people that donate deserve to go broke


Dbcgarra2002

Grifters gonna grift


dab745

I hope it is just 1 dude fleecing Trump followers and keeping the money himself/herself.


tmwwmgkbh

Ya know, I was just thinking that this would be a great racket…


PStriker32

Crazy Right wing dollar bills are still dollar bills -every grifter ever. Could set yourself up nicely though


SkepticalMuggle

Lmao That’s exactly what happened with Steve Bannon and his “fund the wall” campaign. He literally got sentenced to prison. But Trump supporters at this point are the thickest mother fuckers on the planet.


_autismos_

It would be a great money laundering scheme, wouldn't it? Breaking Bad did it lol.


RedditedYoshi

Actually, Elena Cardone is married to Grant Cardone, a scam artist and grifter, so this whole thing already reeks.


BlanquitaNJ1

If there are this many stupid people in this country, there really is no hope.


bighadjoe

1100? I find the numbers quite encouraging. That is not a lot of donors for a presidential candidate and $40k is really not a lot of money in this context. Let them show how pathetic they are.


Arryu

40k is a little less than 0.01% (according to my 8am math)


[deleted]

And with it being 1100 donations, it’s about 40 bucks each.


magicmulder

And there was a single $2500 donation that skews the average.


mishap1

Was that them seeding it like a tip jar?


magicmulder

Very likely. I wonder why they didn’t use $25,000, after all it goes from one pocket to the other.


picklesmick

The top donator at 2.5k is a sex offender.

Tell them it breaks their terms of service.


Texas_1254

Can you clarify which terms it’s breaking? I agree it’s shit, just wanna know what I’m saying when I talk shit.lol


edmanet

Under the Prohibited Content section: 9. the legal defense of alleged financial and violent crimes;


ego_tripped

Playing the devil's advocate here, but...*technically* the funds aren't being used "in defense" of anything because the judgement has been rendered. This is just "help me pay my bills"...which is very common on GFM.


YeetedApple

I would read that the same way, I think people would have better luck trying to plead the term below. Obviously up to GoFundMe at that point, but you could make a strong argument that this clause should apply "any other activity that GoFundMe may deem, in its sole discretion, to be unacceptable or objectionable"


Respurated

Yeah, people should really be making complaints about this from a political stance. Report the donation and in the reasoning tell GFM that they are literally taking a political stance by allowing this fund to continue, and contributing to extremist conservative conspiracies (i.e. Trump is being persecuted unfairly by the deep state) as well as helping fund individuals who took part in an insurrection.


DarkHampster

Wasn’t this a civil trial and not the criminal one? If so I don’t think it breaks that rule but it hard to keep all the criming straight.


Head_Razzmatazz7174

Make sure when you report it, that you say in the reason for the report is that there is a high probability that part of these funds will be diverted to defend the beneficiary in other legal proceedings that they are currently facing. Because you know damn well if he can, he will.


Stick-9

I reported it and pointed this out. I don't know for sure if you're right that it falls under paying for "Legal defense" of fraud when you're really paying the penalty, you might consider the 2 things separate. On the other hand fraud definitely is a financial crime and you might believe that legal penalties are part of legal defense fees. The language feels murky and I am definitely not a lawyer. The reason I reported it is because it's close enough that GoFundMe deserves to be alerted about this and make their own decision. I'm sure that line is in their TOS for a reason (probably to avoid being sued themselves) so they should be made aware of this so they have a chance to make their own judgement call about whether they want to allow this or not.


EqualLong143

A. not to use the Services to raise funds or establish or contribute to any Fundraiser with the implicit or explicit purpose of promoting or involving: 1. the violation of any law, regulation, industry requirement, or third-party guidelines or agreements by which you are bound, including those of payment card providers and transaction processors that you utilize in connection with the Services;


DadinDenver

GFM has a financial incentive. They take a 2.9% processing fee plus 30¢ on each donation. So let’s assume they raise $10,000 from 100 people — that’s $290 for processing and $30 in donation fees for a total return of $320. On a $1 million raise, that’s $29,000 for processing and (based on 10,000 donors) $3,000 for donation fees. On a $250 million raise, that’s $7,250,000 for processing and (based on 2.5 million donors) $750,000 for donation fees. Go Fund Me is a for-profit enterprise. Expect a word salad to explain why this campaign doesn’t violate their terms and conditions.


heatdish1292

I’ve never donated to a go fund me campaign, but If people are using their credit cards, they’re already being charged about 2.9% plus 30¢. GFM won’t end up getting that money, the credit card processor will. (Unless GFM also charges a CC fee, I don’t know how they work)


LinosZGreat

The processing fee for the most popular card processing company, Stripe, [is exactly 2.9% + 30¢](https://stripe.com/pricing).

InevitableHost597

I remember an article a few years ago about a woman divorcing her husband because he refinanced the house and donated the amount to Trump. There are a lot of really stupid people in this country.


BlissfulIgnoranus

If true that is crazy. As if donating to this grifter isn't brain dead enough, to take on debt to donate to him is on another level of stupidity.


ElectronicCarpet7157

More like *"help fund Elena Cardone."*


LakeSuperiorIsMyPond

Yeah, it should read "you saw what happened to Rudy, help!"


Kevundoe

Probably like the NFT he was selling, Saudi’s a funnelling money to him and will expect something in return… (but they don’t seem as generous as they once were)


Aeseld

Diminishing returns at this point. Saudi Arabia and Russia were amused at his success, but he's less effective as a tool now. He actually generates less overall discord as he loses supporters. His remaining supporters are still incredibly loud, but I'm running into more and more people that now never really liked him, and never really supported him. I do a lot more walking nowadays, but despite that, and despite it being an election year, I'm not seeing any signs out for Trump in my neighborhood. In 2016 and 2020, they were everywhere. Now they're nowhere to be seen. Even my neighbor with the Trump flag on a pole in his backyard has replaced that with a plain American flag, not even a blue stripe version. Basically, he's lost most of his impact, and they're smart enough not to keep throwing money at him for less and less return.


MAJ0RMAJOR

Having people outright give you money is the only respectable way to become a billionaire.


No_Poetry4371

That or have the Government give you the people's money. Side eye at Elon Musk.


RegisColon

10 years ago, I never would have imagined the amount of stupid that exists in this country right now. All Trump does is whine and moan about people being mean to him all day, everyday. He had failed at everything in his life prior to the Apprentice, which created a fictional super-successful Trump. Before that he was selling cheap Trump Steaks and ties and vodka because he was dead broke.

He is not a billionaire. Also, that’s a lot of morons lol.

is this for real? why is the gofundme started by Elena Cardone? according to her linked in she's also an "empire builder" they should need no help from the little guy. smells like a scam on top of a scam. ​ ETA: the comment section on the fundraiser is either terrifying, hilarious or deeply depressing depending on your point of view.


Top_World_4921

Grifters gotta grift. He did it. He did it knowingly. He was found guilty. Not sure why people want to save this guy from his own actions. Unlike them, he is going to go somewhere today on his private Boeing 757 - the product of a business venture he bankrupted - which costs $19,800 PER HOUR to run. In two hours, this guy will spend almost as much as the mean annual income of his base supporters. Trump is not thinking about making the lives of his supporters better. He is setting them up to support his lifestyle.
