Trump fundraising before speech. Calls it "Official Secure the Border Fund" but goes to his campaign

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/424356-trump-fundraising-on-national-address-on-border


President Trump is fundraising off his national prime-time address Tuesday focused on the border amid the ongoing partial government shutdown.

Trump in an email Tuesday afternoon asked supporters to donate to his "Official Secure the Border Fund" through the Trump Make America Great Again Committee, a joint fundraising committee for the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee.

"We need to raise $500,000 in ONE DAY. I want to know who stood with me when it mattered most so I’ve asked my team to send me a list of EVERY AMERICAN PATRIOT who donates to the Official Secure the Border Fund," read the email written in Trump's name.



It’s always about him making more money for himself, no matter what he labels it.

are just adding to his bank roll.

I wonder how much of this is or will be spent at Trump properties under the guise of campaigning.

Democrats return to power in the House.

All the while making more money off the backs of federal civil servants he despises and who he shut down from their necessary work.
