However, if trump wants to pony up at least 3 million, light the match to the cash!

This isn't really true Tom. MOST states allow recounts at almost anyone's request (anyone involved... a candidate or a clerk, not a voter). Those that have thresholds, it's pretty standard for them to be between 0.5% and 2%... and this would be towards the low end of that.

In Texas, its 10% of the vote for a candidate... so despite losing by almost 700,000 votes, Biden ALMOST would have qualified for a recount here... (630,000).

I'm not calling for it... Won't change the outcome even if it changes a state or two... which is still a stretch... but it's not remotely a 'you don't do it'. It's literally in the law.
