Grifting until the bitter end......

[marmar]

President Donald Trump is sending out appeals to donors for an “Official Election Defense Fund” as the his prospect for re-election dim, but the fine print of the solicitations reveal that half of the money will actually be used to pay off the campaign’s debt.

As a Wall Street Journal story noted, both the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee began to inundate their donor lists with frantic texts and emails on the day after the Election Day using rhetoric like “We must PROTECT the Election!” Other appeals have been sent under the name of Donald Trump Jr., where he pleads: “My father’s calling on YOU to help bolster our critical Election Defense Fund.”

Other campaign fundraising appeals online include similar, tiny print disclaimers that acknowledge 50 percent of the donations will not be used for recount efforts or legal challenges, but instead will go to vendors or staffers that the campaign has not paid yet. ............(more)

4. My daughter's client

is a registered republican and has dementia and home care and today the phone rang 3 times with a trumpie recording asking for money to defend the election. I told my daughter that those grifters will just walk away with that cash when the jig is up. Scammers 'til the bitter end they are.

5. He didn't have a presidency. It is just an ongoing grift.

If he was to concede he would lose his "credibility" with his ignorant mob of followers. This way he gets to rack up the recurring payment donations and cash in on this manufactured crisis he claims to need help with.

Grifting to the bitter end indeed!

6. I asked his supporters why he doesn't just pay for it himself since he claims to be a billionaire

I mentioned how Bloomberg spend millions in the Primary and in Florida in the GE which were both lost and did not affect him financially in any way because he is so wealthy.

If Trump is as he claims why doesn't he do the same.

The responses are kind of sad . They say things like this is not for personal reasons but for the public integrity as if he can only use personal funds if he just privately wants to know himself.
