A Trump Rant

 Things you should know:

Two days after Trump lost the 2020 election, he founded a PAC named Save America. It is controlled by Trump himself. This is different than Trump's campaign organization in that money donated or allocated to it can be used on things other than Trump's reelection. It is Trump's primary fundraising organization.

It has spent $22 million on Trump's legal fees (so far). It spent $650,000 on a portrait of himself and Melania. $2 million was donated to other conservative PACs, $200,000 to Trump properties, and $132,000 to Melania's fashion stylist. It spent $132,000 to defeat Liz Cheney. It donated $20 million to Trump's super PAC MAGA Inc.

60% of the donation to Save America comes from retirees. 10% of all campaign donations are funneled to Save America (Trump's campaign cannot spend money on Trump personally so he sends funds to Save America, which can).

Lara Trump, Eric's wife, is on the Republican National Committee. She just stated that she believes GOP voters would support the RNC donating to Trump's legal fees.

Save America's bank account now has roughly $4 million, the rest being spent as described above.

Donald J Trump, a self-proclaimed billionaire, needs Save America to pay his legal fees? Needs Save America to pay for Melania's hairdresser?

I can't help but wonder if Trump's avid supporters know this.
