Trump’s Continuing Failing Lawsuits as a Loss Leader, Grift, and Delegitimization Device

支持者らへの声援のため

By one count, Trump has lost 46 of his lawsuits and won only one minor one, in PA.

But the lawsuits keep coming and coming. They make much more sense when one thinks
of them as about grift and delegitimizing the upcoming Biden presidency.

As to grift: Trump is spending perhaps a few hundred thousand dollars on lawsuits
(he hasn’t hired leading election lawyers) and spent about $3 million on a failed,
partial recall in Wisconsin. But the campaign has brought in something like $200
million since the election. The lawsuits act as loss leader that brings people into
the store to spend lots of money. As of now, 75% of the money raised does not go
to for the litigation fight but is going to Trump’s new leadership PAC which he
can use as a kind of personal slush fund. He’s going to be well situated to engage
in some self-dealing through this fund thanks to the porous rules for leadership PACs.
