His litigiousness has cost taxpayers something like $40,000,000, and Trump never paid a penny of that cost.

* Courthouse usage
* Judge salary
* Courtroom staff (bailiffs etc)
* Judges' interns to research and write judgments
* City, state or federal attorneys if Trump was suing a government agency
* etc

The guy has always been a freeloader.

And the above does not include the cost of justice delayed or denied common people because Trump has been plugging up the courts.
