You (we) are fortunate to have someone of Biden's experience, professionalism, intelligence and wisdom leading the allied response. He knows the rules of proxy war and cold war better than any of the other players, including Vlad, He also knows he's got a good bet in Ukraine and Vlad by the balls. His plan is to slowly bleed the fucker white and not to provoke him to nuke or run, but he's like a cornered rat now. It took Joe less than halfway through his first term to have both Trump and Putin by the balls and going down holding hands. He did it by taking advantage of their mistakes and hubris and the method for both is the same. He didn't do it alone, but I have to say the setup for the midterms worked out well, with republican help on abortion.
 
It's behind a pay wall, so I'll just point to the article

Donald Trump’s super Pac raised just $40 in August in sign of weakness

Donations to former president’s vehicle have slowed significantly in recent months

I haven't seen this mentioned in other reputable sources but FT is a reputable and I'll run with it. The author says the Make America Great Again Again Super PAC took in $40 in Aug., $310,000 in July and $0 in June, down from $5 M in the last quarter of '21 and first quarter of this year. It is the only Super PAC associated with Trump.

He has other 6 other PACs, which taken together has $122 M on hand it's not clear if those other PACS are bringing in much new money or if this is just what he is left with. Legal fees are rising. Last month alone, the MAGAA Super PAC spent 4 million in legal fees. Given the recently announced legal challenges, his PAC empire is hanging on to the cash rather than using it to help Trump's MAGA GOP candidates. That spigot is dry for a-holes like Hershel Walker or other right wing candidates running in contested districts.

This kind of says the same thing, though it's a bit older:

Trump’s Fundraising Dropped $2 Million in the Second Quarter
Former President Donald Trump saw a drop of contributions from the army of donors who’ve combined to give tens of millions of dollars to his political operation in the wake of his loss in the 2020 election.

During the financial reporting period, six televised hearings of the House committee investigating the assault on the US Capitol took place. The session considered most damaging to Trump, featuring testimony from Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide, unfolded on June 28, too late to have a significant effect on Trump’s haul.

The former president’s Save America Joint Fundraising Committee took in $17 million in the second quarter, down from the $19 million it raised in the previous three months, according to its latest filing with the Federal Election Commission. Small-dollar donors, those giving less than $200, accounted for 36% of the total.

It’s his lowest quarterly haul since the period from October to December 2018, when his presidential small-dollar committee took in $14 million during the midterm elections, in which the Democrats won back the House of Representatives.
