3. All about the money

Sadly Trump could give two shits about the verdict in both trials. It is all about the money as Trump never gives any money to anyone or anything. The immunity defense is just a vehicle to get the case before the Supreme Court.

Let's look at the big beautiful ballroom as an example. Trump said it would be privately funded and the cost rose from $150 million to $400 million. Now he is asking the tax payers to fork over one billion dollars. Where did the $400 million go to. This is a robbery in broad daylight.
