Cheaper Than Campaigning

Trump met tonight with some of the country's largest Bitcoin mining companies, part of his new push to consolidate support from the crypto industry.

Several attendees posted pics with Trump and claimed that he expressed support for the Bitcoin mining sector. pic.twitter.com/Q3pGJTdNvJ

There are few people actually in the running for the VP nod -- emphasis on actually in the running -- who are as willing to throw themselves into the kind of fight Trump wants as Vance is https://t.co/p1JU9HXeGR

So Trump is going to “drain the swamp” by refilling the swamp, and making Congress even more dysfunctional?

This ain’t retail politics he’s engaging in. He’s just dialing for dollars. He doesn’t want the votes of corporate leaders and the guys running very expensive computers calculating nothing (if ever there was a metaphor for modern technology…). He just wants their money.

Lawyers don’t work for free. And the number willing to work for him keeps decreasing.

One interesting feature of Trump's motion to vacate the gag order in the Manhattan DA's case? It's yet another filing not signed by the most experienced criminal defense lawyer on his team, Susan Necheles.https://t.co/D41LXhsrkI
