Man is a great friend of Trump

Donald Trump writes to me often, usually several times a day. The president, as he calls himself—none of that “former” business—wants me to know how much he values me as a “trusted ally.” He is forever offering me exciting opportunities, like the chance for my name to be “permanently engraved” on the “Official 2022 Trump Donor Wall” in his office. All I need to do for this to happen is contribute $45 by midnight.

“Space is extremely limited,” the president warned. “This could be your only chance.”

President Trump is always looking out for me that way. He has told me countless times that I must act quickly because time is running out. He’s been saying that about the Donor Wall since he first brought it up, weeks ago. Since then, he’s given me a generous number of only chances...
.....

Between January 1, 2021 and March 31, 2022, according to the Federal Election Commission, the Save America Joint Fundraising Committee raised $90 million in contributions. None were from me, one of the president’s most trusted advisers. During this same period, the committee reported disbursements totaling $83.7 million. These included $35.3 million in “operating expenditures” and $48.4 million in transfers to “affiliated committees.”

Last month, the Federal Election Commission deadlocked 3-3 on whether to hold the Trump campaign accountable for allegedly funneling hundreds of millions of dollars in donations from people who respond to appeals like the ones the president sends me. This money, it said, went to largely untraceable destinations, including Trump family members, through a shell company called American Made Media Consultants, which the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, helped create. The three votes against—cast by the commission’s three Republican members—mean that no action will be taken.

Good for a read about the flim-flaming that they are so expert in:

Donald, I'll send you $1,000.

You get the 700% match, making it $8,000 total. You send me back $3,000 and keep the $5,000. I will verify that you improved my economy and you get $5,000 that you did not have before.

Win/win for both of us.

I'm not greedy.

You get more than half.

donated to Republican candidates and puts it in Dump's and Dushner's pockets, enriching them but hurting the GOP. Awww, what a shame.
