Trump sold a plane. Not the big one, a little one. But he sold it to raise money because of his legal expenses. That came from an article in the Guardian. It’s not that big of a deal, really. People sell assets to pay expenses sometimes. Most of us don’t have hundreds of millions of dollars in legal fees and fines to pay so we’re not selling our private planes.

A paragraph from the article caught my eye: “…Trump has paid more than $100m in legal fees for the cases that have put him in court. While Trump has mostly used donations into political action committees, known as PACS, to pay the fees, the money has been running out, and Trump’s legal bills continue to rack up.”

The PACs have been paying his bills! No, it’s legal, I’m not leveling charges. But it means he really has been using donor contributions to pay his bills and hasn’t dipped into his seemingly non-existent “fortune” very much. Instead, he’s dipping into MAGA’S wealth. What’s left of it. But there’s that other bit: “the money has been running out…”

Apparently, there’s not enough money coming from MAGA to sustain his trials, his campaign, AND his lifestyle. This from a guy who famously, or infamously, doesn’t pay his bills. I can’t say I’m surprised. He lives VERY high on the hog, even if he can’t afford it. He has massive legal bills from his various and sundry crimes. Political campaigns are expensive. I know there are a lot of MAGA but they’re mostly working class schmoes. How long could they carry the genius businessman?

Donald Trump is a terrible, terrible human being. He just is. MAGA seems to be supporting him, mostly, BECAUSE he’s a terrible human being. I think that says a LOT about MAGA. Supporting a person because they’re the lowest lowlife ever to slither across the landscape rather betrays one’s personal standing with ethics and honor, or complete lack thereof, in the case of MAGA.

Donald Trump’s message to MAGA has been simple: I give you permission to exercise the very worst instincts of humanity – all the terrible little character traits religions and philosophies have been trying to eliminate, or a least manage, for thousands of years. Instead, Trump invites them to be – like him – the very worst human beings they can be, proudly.

You can be respectful, or you can be MAGA…
You can be decent, or you can be MAGA…
You can be honest, or you can be MAGA…
You can love the Constitution, or you can be MAGA…
You can have empathy, or you can be MAGA…
You can try to help make the world a better place, or you can be MAGA…

I’ll tell you this: To me? The very worst part is how many Americans enthusiastically signed up. I genuinely thought we were better than this…
