A new Donald Trump fundraiser will spend donations on his campaign and Save America, the political action committee (PAC) that has paid for the Republican's legal bills.

The Associated Press reported it obtained a fundraising invitation outlining the arrangement on Friday, claiming Trump invited donors to Palm Beach, Florida, on April 6. The outlet reports the invitation's fine print says donations to his new committee will first be used to give the maximum amount allowed under federal law to his campaign and that anything else will go towards Save America and then to the RNC and then to state political parties.

Newsweek has not obtained a copy of this invitation to verify it and has contacted a Trump spokesperson by email to comment on this story.

On Wednesday, Trump launched a joint fundraising committee with the Republican National Committee (RNC) to raise money.

1. Inmate P01135809: "Time to bust out the RNC"

Every dollar going to one of his parking lot "lawyers" is a dollar not being spent on a campaign.

Every RNC dollar going to Inmate P01135809 is a dollar not going to a down ballot R candidate.

Should we start calling the RNC the MNC (MAGAt National Committee)?

2. Is it illegal?

Let's add some more charges and legal penalties. Really bankrupt the RNC for good.

17. Should he

Be paying a Gift Tax because they are gifting him the money. He hasn’t earned it yet so it’s a gift. TAX THE SOB…

3. Imagine sending your money to someone you think is a billionaire.

All to make sure he never faces any consequences for his actions. This is the way cult members always treat the cult leader.

Trump social media company will go public as DWAC shareholders approve merger
Source: CNBC

Published Fri, Mar 22 2024 9:32 AM EDT Updated 16 Min Ago


Shareholders in Digital World Acquisition Corporation voted Friday to approve a merger with Donald Trump’s social media company, a deal that could net the former president an eventual windfall of $3 billion or more.

The vote by DWAC shareholders comes about two-and-a-half years after the so-called special purpose acquisition company announced plans to merge with Trump Media & Technology Group, the private firm that owns the Truth Social app platform.

It also comes as Trump faces the possibility that New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday will start trying to collect on a massive $454 million civil fraud judgment against him. Shares in the newly combined company, Trump Media, could begin to be publicly traded next week under the stock symbol DJT, Trump’s initials.

Trump’s long-gone casino and hotel company also traded under that ticker symbol. Several lawsuits recently filed over the merger’s terms have not affected the voting schedule.

8. They deserve everything that is coming to them with their donations.

[Botany]

12. Fine by me. No money for the down ballot candidates, for polling, for GOTV, for fund raising, or just to ....

….. pay the employees although the RNC has now lost a bunch of their experienced employees. And
the RNC is now under the direction of Lara Trump who has zero experience in running such an organization.

14. SAP PAC

Saps. Mopes. Suckers.

Like money in the bank, they’re all the same to Trump.

15. I fully support this effort as a dollar spent on defending Trump is a dollar not helping other Republicans.

16. They might as well set their money on fire

It will at least provide them a little warmth.
