Tom Toles for April 17, 2018

The important thing to remember is that you’re part of the team. Now, are you ready to take one for the team? (again?)

Isn’t it the inauguration funds that are paying Trump’s legal bills?

And it really was the greatest inauguration fund in American history — by actual (hundreds of millions) dollars — and far, far and away the most money ever collected per person that attended.

And the highest ever ratio of money collected to money spent — conveniently leaving massive amounts to pay Trump’s legal bills.

#TraitorTrump

And all perfectly legal, if I’m not mistaken.

TO BERNIE’S COFFERS INSTEAD – {rhyme and coda}

Better would people’s donations be spent

if our bucks instead to Bernie were sent.

Things would get changed,

no longer deranged.

Plutocracy Bernie’d quite ably prevent.

… Coda:

It’s BERNIE’s coffers we ought to augment,

for his “Our Revolution” to an extensive extent.

So far over 20% of the “Trump 2020” campaign funds have gone for legal fees. The suckers have to ask themselves…“If he’s SO RICH, why doesn’t he pay his OWN DAMN BILLS?” Or is that TOO obvious for them to figure out??

Before this he used his foundations money to pay his legal bills. Of course his followers don’t care and call The Clinton Foundation corrupt.

Our money he’s already spent,

To pay even more than his rent.

The peons decry

The conspire-sy

Since only their spleens they can vent!

Thee was a time (before Citizen United) when presidents and representatives could be OF the people, not OF the 1%. Everywhere there is evidence that the middle class is getting short shrift. For example …

There are two kinds of Republicans – millionaires/billionaires, and suckers. Check your wallet to see which kind you are.

Mr. Toles, excellent commentary!!!! A+ for being pertinent, for being humorous, and for excellent artwork. Thank you for sharing with us.

Trump is using his campaign donations for his legal bills, because the Russians handed him the election – it didn’t cost him as much to run ads as it cost Clinton – because the GOP can not win unless it cheats. And when it does win, it needs to sort out its legal issues.

Then there was the 100 million of the Trump inauguration money that they misplaced somewhere. Gave 24 million to someone’s sister so she could wash it for them.

The crookedest presidents are always Republican.

Every politician in existence (with the exception of a tiny few) do something like this all the time with their campaign funds. But it seems like Trump’s antics are extra special for some reason.

If he so innocent why does he need lawyers?

The least transparent administration ever.

I thought Putin would pay his legal fees. After all, it’s every parent’s responsibility to…

He was hoping for more donations from the Trump U. graduates!

t-rump better save some of that money for the $10 jailhouse phone cards.
