In a recent rant on his Daily Wire show, Ben Shapiro said that Donald Trump‘s presidential campaign is just front operation to collect donations to pay his legal bills.
“Now, you may think that the election of 2024 is about, you know, getting rid of Joe Biden. But according to Matt Schlapp, and I assume according to much of team Trump, what it’s really about is you funding Donald Trump’s legal bills,” Shapiro said.
Shapiro said that his primary interest is to see Joe Biden lose the 2024 election. “If I have to prioritize, is it Donald Trump’s legal cases, or is it beating Joe Biden?”
“If it’s Donald Trump’s legal cases, that’s fine,” Shapiro continued. “The dude’s got a legal fund. He’s not asked anybody to donate to his legal fund. Instead, he’s sort of laundering the money from his campaign into his legal funds.”
“You give money to his campaign and then he uses it for his legal costs. Is that why you’re donating, is because you care that much about his legal fund? Fine. He should open up a legal fund and you can give to it.
“Or do you care about beating Joe Biden? Donald Trump could theoretically win all of his legal cases and still not beat Joe Biden.”
