@ImagineThat: Some Eastern European or Russian, perhaps a one or a handful of American millionaires or even a billionaire or two, may well make the save, figuring if they can help him buy time and get into the White House they'll have it made.
You forgot option 3: Trump plays the legal system again and gains another extension
@ImagineThat: My figuring as well.
@ImagineThat Considering all the hyper-funded sleazebags that so desperately want him to prevail, I have a hard time believing he'll be left hanging for long.
He hasn't raised it from the banks that love him (according to him).
He hasn't raised it from the 74 million who voted for him in 2020 -- they could do it for less than $7 each, but somehow they haven't.
But I think he'll pull it out of a hat somehow (probably an ushanka). All this drama is just part of the con.
