The MAGA movement is growing stronger.
BPH Properties donated $500,000 to MAGA Inc, a Super PAC made up of allies of Donald Trump – BPH properties is a business run by Stan Pate.
Pate has had a change of heart – in 2016, he ran ads against Trump.
The recent big individual donation, outside the $40 million from Save America in November, was a $500,000 contribution from BPH Properties, an Alabama-based business run by real estate titan Luther S. Pate, IV. Pate, who also goes by Stan Pate, did not return a request for comment. State business records list Pate as BPH Properties’ president.
Pate published photographs of Trump and himself on the Alabama businessman’s Facebook page just days before the November midterm elections. Pate wrote in a Nov. 5 post that he was with Trump at his private club Mar-a-Lago and said that the highlights of the discussion were “the upcoming midterm elections on Tuesday, voter fraud, stolen elections, 2024 and more. MAGA!”
The contribution from BPH Properties was received by the pro-Trump PAC on Nov. 9, just four days after Pate published the photographs, according to the FEC filing.
In 2016, Pate funded an anti-Trump Super PAC.
NBC News reported:
Stan Pate, a millionaire real estate developer from Tuscaloosa, is the man behind a pair of satirical full-page ads that ran last week in two nations with no electoral say in the outcome of the 2016 campaign: Mexico and Korea.
Pate’s anti-Trump political action committee, We The People Foundation, sponsored a full-page ad Sunday in Mexican newspaper El National. The ad pictured a fictional invoice from Trump to the Mexican government for “the beautiful, wonderful Trump wall on the Mexican border.”
“Past due!” blared the notice, which requested payment of $16 trillion.
The other ad, which appeared in the Seoul-based Korea Herald (as well as in its Korean-language publication distributed in the U.S.), offered “NUCLEAR BOMBS FOR SALE!” and promised “magnificent, beautiful, spectacular” bombs available from seller Donald Trump.
Why are my PAC donations limited to a few thousand dollars per election cycle but these mega-rich campaign donors (Soros,v Zuckerbux, etc.) are able to dump hundred of millions of dollars with no legal jeopardy?
What in the world does that mean?
Nope.
This is a head fake to keep Trump in the race.
They want a battle so they can destroy Trump and Desantis.
A half million dollar head fake...ok, I take some of that.
Really? That needs explaining?
Very good point. The Dems are the most hateful, greedy, lying group of politicians. Tammany Hall and Boss Tweed revisited.
