At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.
Isn't this funny.
Trump's "Election Defense Fund" website From the fine print: Contributions to TMAGAC made by an Individual/Federal Multicandidate Political Committee will be allocated according to the following formula: 60% of each contribution first to Save America, up to $5,000/$5,000, then to DJTP’s Recount Account, up to a maximum of $2,800/$5,000. 40% of each contribution to the RNC’s Operating account, up to a maximum of $35,500/$15,000. Any additional funds will go to the RNC for deposit in the RNC’s Legal Proceedings account or Headquarters account, up to a maximum of $213,000/$90,000. In other words, if you send them $1,000, thinking it goes to an "Election Defense Fund," it doesn't. It goes to the Save America Pac, which is Trump's personal piggy bank. Dang! This is grifting on a championship level!

But the point is, the little guy who sends in a couple of hundred bucks thinking he's contributing to an "election defense fund" isn't. He or she is actually sending their money almost directly into Trump's pocket. This is directly from the website, unfiltered by the MSM. Go read it yourself. It's right there in the fine print.

IMO, anybody who donates to ANY political campaign or fund deserves to have their money "stolen".

At this point, if you're an average guy living paycheck to paycheck and you send a couple of hundred dollars to Trump's "election defense fund", you deserve to get scammed. I have no sympathy. He's just weeding out the stupid people. That's how he's made a living in the past and that's probably what he'll go right back to once he's dragged from the white house.

Some people deserve what they get, because they're just so gullible. If you keep buying into lies over and over, you're beyond hope. He got elected by promising a wall that Mexico would pay for. Only tiny sections got built and he had to divert funds from other things to pay for what was constructed. He said we had to get rid of Obamacare, because he had a much better healthcare plan and it was gonna blow everyone away how good it was. Four years later and no one has seen anything even resembling this great healthcare plan he promised. He said what a great businessman and he was and he would eliminate the federal debt in 8 years. Instead, he's added over $6 trillion to the debt since Obama left office. The guy is, was and always will be a snake oil salesman and he's never gonna change. He tells people what they wanna hear in order to get what he wants and then he moves on to the next scam. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

Dude, it's no different than donating to United Way AKA United Waste or any other charity television ads want you to believe isn't lining the pockets of charity administrators. The only difference here is Trump is an easy target for your people.

Speaking of slimy administrators, anyone remember the news in which the Wounded Warriors execs were using donations to fund their vacations in lavish Colorado resorts and such.

Like he's just CRUSHING it from that kind of haul... lol. I know to the average person, that may seem like a lot of money, but it's nothing to a billionaire. You think Trump is running this thing himself? I haven't verified, but, if I had to guess, it's a legal disclaimer that just lets people know a small portion is going back to pay administrative fees. Big deal. Now, my opinion changes if that a percentage per donation. But, I don't think that's the case.

Is the 5k total of all the contributions or is it 5k total based on the amount of the donation. For example, if he gets 1000 donations of 100 bucks, in one instance, he gets 10k (because that's the maximum they can collect, and in the other, he gets 60k. Which is it?

"60% of each contribution first to Save America, up to $5,000/$5,000..." There is no limit to how much of the money he can put in his PAC. It depends on how many people contribute. And there's another big chunk to the RNC. Also unlimited. Because it is a percentage of each contribution.
Awwww, aren't ya'll cute.
Meanwhile... Biden’s fund, called the Biden Fight Fund, also lists donation allocation at the bottom of the page. Rather than using percentages, they list an order in which donations are allocated. “Contributions from persons shall be allocated in the following order: $142,000 to the DNC, $2,800 to the Biden for President Recount Account, and any additional funds to the DNC, subject to applicable contribution limits.” https://www.10tv.com/article/news/verify...0ea23bfca3 What really takes the cake on this, and shows how corrupted our information really is, is the simple fact that a Google search for "Biden Election Defense Fund" returns 9 articles on the first page and EVERY SINGLE ONE of them is about Trump's defense fund. Then folks hop on here an incensed about #OrangeManBad while completely ignoring that #sundownjoe and his crew are doing pretty much the same thing. “An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato

"Trump’s fund, called the Official Election Defense Fund, lists how contributions are allocated at the bottom of the page. It says 60% of a person’s donations goes to paying off the debt of the campaign’s general election account with the other 40% going to the RNC’s operating account. Once the debt is paid off, 60% of contributions will go to Trump’s recount account. All of these pools have maximums per contributor and once those maximums are exceeded, funds go into Trump’s recount account, the RNC’s legal proceedings account or the RNC headquarters account." The underlined part is not true. The so-called "Official Election Defense Fund" website says nothing about paying off campaign debts. Instead, it says 60% of each person's donation goes to Trump's brand-new PAC, the Save America PAC, which is run and controlled by Trump. It is NOT for the purpose of paying off campaign debt. If you don't believe me, read it yourself. Link As for the Biden website, none of the allocation is for any entity controlled by Biden himself. So the difference is, Trump can personally profit from the contributions, and Biden cannot. None of this money can go into Biden's pocket. Notice also, there is an upper limit on how much of the contributions can go to the DNC ($142,000). Every dollar after that goes to the Biden Legal Defense fund, unless it's a very large contribution. There is NO upper limit on how much money can go to Trump's PAC. It is 60% of EACH contribution. He can theoretically take in unlimited amounts to this brand-new PAC which he controls. So, your effort at "equivalence" fails. They are not "doing the same thing." |
