Among the sharpest of Donald Trump’s political gifts has always been his ability to exploit victimhood, real or perceived, but especially his own. And indeed, Trump has a legitimate claim to being at least among the most prosecuted men in America: twice impeached, indicted on 91 felony charges, found liable for sexual abuse and defamation, and facing the potential dissolution of his business empire. This litany of alleged misdeeds is among the reasons that his presidential campaign currently has just $30 million in the bank—about half of Joe Biden’s cash on hand. Around this time last cycle, Trump had $229 million in his campaign war chest and Biden had just $70 million.
