Trump is hosting a $100,000-per-couple fundraiser at his Doral golf course Thursday, letting him divert some donors’ money back into his own pocket.



WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump opened his reelection campaign the day he took office in 2017, and so far has raised over $1.2 billion — but apparently has so little on hand that he is still holding in-person fundraisers with less than three weeks to go before Election Day.

The choice of location also means Trump will be able to funnel at least tens of thousands of those dollars raised back into his own cash registers through room rental and catering fees.

Trump’s campaign has spent lavishly on salaries and fees for its top officials and consultants. ........................

The Biden campaign and Democratic National Committee have been able to match and exceed Trump’s fundraising pace since Joe Biden won the Democratic nomination, and entered the final two months with a $141 million “cash on hand” advantage.......................................................

1. It's all part of the shitshow, folks...

n/t

[dawg day]

2. Isn't his town hall on Thursday?

Are they paying $100K to watch it on TV?

[brooklynite]

3. Actually the buy-in is a measly $5,000...

I never spent that little for President Obama...

4. Anyone willing to meet Covid Donny in person right now is an idiot.

[tulipsandroses]

5. Where did all the money go? Their ads look like crap. Look like they were done by amateurs

I doubt they are paying top dollar for them. They are not paying top talent. They have a bunch of DListers. Trump notoriously stiffs cities and leaves bills unpaid. Sounds like the same funny business as the inauguration.

6. He and his spawn probably pocketed a good half of the $1.2 billion

[William Seger]

13. The only doubt about that would be the over/under

[Talitha]

7. Everything Trump touches dies.

8. Would be interesting to know how much Trump Doral makes off this event.

Sounds like a typical Trump grift and ego humping event to me........

He'll probably charge anyone wearing a mask and extra grand or two.

9. Why $5600, Isn't it a limit on something.

Seems like a way to funnel $5000 checks into the donation system. Aren't there limits on disclosure?

10. "What good is being president....

if you can't steal the taxpayers' and your supporters' money, and make yourself filthy rich? Isn't that why all those men became president? Why else would they do it"?

[Hortensis]

11. For sure Donnie regards all donations as his

money. So of course he’ll continue using the campaign to rake in as much and as long as he can. Besides of course, he’s way behind Joe in fundraising these days.

12. So, after exposing elderly rich donors to his COVID at his NJ 18-shithole course,

he thinks they'll show up at another?

14. After the RSVP, "SPACE IS LIMITED...FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS"

How...do the "first served" feel about being on the food table? Desperation tactic, "a fool and his/her money is soon parted"
