    No. He didn’t pay anything (as usual). Wealthy elites who want him re-elected have been using super PACs to funnel money to help cover bills like this one. Thanks to the loophole of PACs, they can basically throw as much cash as they want at someone beyond the legal personal contribution to a politician.

    This PAC is the one who’s directly paying the bills, not the orange clown.

      I think the poster above you’s point was that the people who do work for him usually don’t get paid at all regardless of who is paying. Usually Trump would probably just stiff the lawyers so the PAC could use the money for other things like advertising and rallies.

      However I think the answer here is the lawyers are demanding the money up front so stiffing them isn’t an option.
