Interesting information re. tRumps "Election Defense Fund"

[groundloop]

It seems that tRump and the GOPer party are playing their followers for suckers yet again.

Heather Cox Richardson mentioned this today:

But the Wall Street Journal today noted that the fine print of the “Official Election Defense Fund” explains that 60% of contributions to the fund will go toward paying off Trump’s election debt, and 40% to the operating account of the Republican National Committee. Only after a donation hits the legal limit will the remainder go toward legal expenses.

1. Other People's Money at work!

Trump's guiding principle.

2. Under those stated conditions, small-dollar contribution would go to the debt and RNC.

Don't see how they can get away will calling it the "Election Defense Fund".

Suckers...........

6. So it's a ruse to pay off campaign debts and raise money until

the challenges are all thrown out in court.

The challenges are just to raise money after the election?

7. To raise money? I think that's one of the main reasons

That, his psychological issues and his fear of prosecution.

10. It appears they've modified it slightly. Fifty percent to debt retirement. Fifty percent to recount.

Just now copied from the Election Defense Fund website:

50% of each contribution, up to a maximum of $2,800 ($5,000), to be designated toward DJTFP’s 2020 general election account for general election debt retirement until such debt is retired. 50% of each contribution, up to a maximum of $2,800 ($5,000), to be designated toward DJTFP’s Recount Account. Any amount that exceeds the applicable contribution limit for 2020 general election debt retirement, including any amounts donated to DJTFP after such debt has been retired, will be designated in full toward DJFTP’s Recount Account, up to a maximum of $2,800 ($5,000).
