I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a presidency today.

Trump is personally cashing in from political rally-style paid speeches, the Washington Post reports. Supporters pay anywhere from $55 for tickets to $4,000 for top-tier VIP packages on the tour. The events on the American Freedom Tour are separate from Trump's free political rallies.

Proceeds from Trump's American Freedom Tour go directly to his own pockets. They are also separate from his political rallies, which are free to attend, often in support of specific candidates, and held through his Save America leadership PAC.

I mean, there's no other way to call it. The only people still buying into this carnival are gleeful idiots.

The donation page (and probably the tickets page)will have a default auto subscription box way at the bottom of the last page which if not UN-checked will cause the donator to continue to “donate” that amount of money until they choose to unsubscribe.
So why not just unsubscribe I hear you say? 100% of donors don’t know they are “subscribing” each month so, The only way to know is to check your outgoing payments on your bank account.

If you think Im talking shit and you have made a one off donation to the Trump family fund go check your bank statements. You will most likely find you are still making contributions without your knowledge, which is actually considered to be fraudulent behavior by the Trump Family.

@justanothername It's absolutely true. And fraud is a serious thing. Criminal, even.

Presidents do that. Obama is cashing in seriously, and Biden brought in plenty as VP under Obama with his son’s dealings. Congress folk insider trade with impunity and make millions. This is just how the political class lives.

Support of a blatantly obvious felon by comparison with situations totally unrelated to fraud is foolish@joe438

@joe438 The difference is subterfuge and obfuscation. Trump is under investigation already for funneling automated nonconsensual payments into his personal coffers. This is no different. It's not a big deal if I charge you to watch my TV; it's a problem if I call the charge a medical contribution for my ailing grandmother.

@joe438 There’s difference between asking for campaign donations and knowingly scamming every person who donates to your campaign/family fund.

Trump does the latter.

The thing is people are paying to listen to him. And Kamala can't get anyone to pay to come listen to her speak. Or anyone to come listen to Biden mumble his way through his cue cards.

Gawd’ why can’t he go away ? And you’re right, only a total fool would give that man a penny at this point.

under that proviso all you can say is as the old saying goes a fool and his money are soon parted 🤷‍♂️[graylight ]
