MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle lamented Donald Trump’s good fortune in raising funds for his crusade and legal fees.
Ruhle made an appearance on Inside with Jen Psaki, which aired Sunday, to comment on the money recently raised on Trump’s behalf. Host Jen Psaki asked Ruhle if her fundraiser would fully cover her legal troubles, which Ruhle “is possible. “
“He’s the luckiest guy in the world,” Ruhle said. “Think about it: He’s sitting there, facing millions of dollars, fines, and legal fees; He has more than 80 charges against him and is running for president. “You could end up cashing in on that money and finding a solution.
According to Ruhle, it is “extraordinary” that Trump has been able to track down California billionaire Don Hankey to lend him $175 million as bail in his New York civil fraud case. Hankey is a longtime Trump supporter and cashed in a small payment to post bail on Trump’s behalf.
“He said he thought Trump had the money he wouldn’t need,” Ruhle said of Hankey. “Maybe Donald Trump does, but do you know he’s a specialist?OPM: Spend other people’s money, and he did it again.

It comes after hedge fund portfolio manager John Paulson hosted a fundraiser at his home on Saturday, at which $50. 5 million was raised on Trump’s behalf. This is the harvest ever achieved by the presidential candidate.
Notably, the event nearly doubled President Joe Biden’s fundraising record in a 24-hour period. Biden’s most successful fundraising day raised $26 million at an event in New York attended by former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
