Hey @Larry, maybe Trump can really use your help, and YOU CAN HELP!
Just be sure to understand the fine prints.

Earlier they only had the caveat about 50% being used to pay down campaign debt. Now it's going all kinds of places.
This is just crazy.
But the fine print indicates much of the money donated to support that effort since Election Day has instead paid down campaign debt, replenished the Republican National Committee and, more recently, helped get Save America, a new political action committee Trump founded, off the ground.
The unusual way the Trump campaign is divvying up the contributions has drawn scrutiny from election watchdogs, who say Trump and his family are poised to financially benefit from the arrangement.
“This is a slush fund. That’s the bottom line,” said Paul S. Ryan, a longtime campaign finance attorney with the good government group Common Cause. “Trump may just continue to string out this meritless litigation in order to fleece his own supporters of their money and use it in the coming years to pad his own lifestyle while teasing a 2024 candidacy.”

Trump win one today, didn't he?

Yep.

CNN: "President Donald Trump's campaign strategy increasingly appears to be to cast enough doubt over vote counts so it can find judges to block states from certifying the choice its voters made, according to elections experts, including longtime Republican lawyer-turned-CNN analyst Ben Ginsberg."

OMG!
You mean they actually want to not certify illegal ballots?

Ruhroh... Trump won one and it’s kind of a big deal... A judge ruled that Newsome overstepped his bounds and was not authorized to have ballots sent out to voters. Now the ruling changes nothing in California since the state legislature backed up the order a few days later with a change to the law, but it does set a precedent for cases where the executive branch of states did the same thing and DIDN’T get legislature approval...

So does the Philly ballot deadline case.
Executive cannot set rules for elections.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Lawyers from both sides of Bush v. Gore’s all agree that Biden Won, Trump lost.

@Jolly said in Trump lawsuits:
Executive cannot set rules for elections.
In principle, yes, except where the legislature left things unspecified or under-specified. For example, a legislature may not write laws down to the details of specifying the exact dimension of a paper ballot, the exact font, the exact font sizes, the exact color of the ink to be used to print the ballots. Then it is up to the executive branch to “set the rules” on these things that the legislature has not specified.

Separate but related: Twitter will hand @POTUS to Biden on Inauguration Day, even if Trump doesn’t concede.
"Twitter is actively preparing to support the transition of White House institutional Twitter accounts on January 20th, 2021,” Twitter spokesperson Nick Pacilio said in an email. “As we did for the presidential transition in 2017, this process is being done in close consultation with the National Archives and Records Administration.”
"The handover requires no sharing of information between the outgoing Trump team and incoming Biden team, according to the company. All existing tweets on those accounts will be archived and Twitter will transfer the accounts — reset to zero tweets — to the Biden White House that day."
