Trump's $175 Million Scam

Trump's whole "stolen election" tantrum wasn't really about the election at all. It was a scam. Trump found a way to make a boat load of money crying about the election he lost by millions of votes. His MAGA hoards dumped millions to help with his legal cases and Trump repaid them with a small dollar public relations campaign and the worst (as in cheapest) legal team in history.
Keep in mind that he is even refusing to pay Rudy Giuliani for his efforts. His cult members at the Republican National Committee got 35 cents on every dollar Trump raised so you can see why they were on board with amplifying his lies.

Former President Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party leveraged false claims of voter fraud and promises to overturn the election to raise more than a quarter-billion dollars in November and December as hundreds of thousands of trusting supporters listened and opened their wallets.

But the Trump campaign spent only a tiny fraction of its haul on lawyers and other legal bills related to those claims. Instead, Mr. Trump and the G.O.P. stored away much of the money — $175 million or so — even as they continued to issue breathless, aggressive and often misleading appeals for cash that promised it would help with recounts, the rooting out of election fraud and even the Republican candidates’ chances in the two Senate runoff races in Georgia.
