I love PRESIDENT Trump, but his “WinRed” “money machine” is a hot steaming pile of toxic fraud. I’ll bet 75% of the money it raises finds its way straight into the pockets of the filthy obnoxious scamming “consultant” punks that run it and are getting wealthy off of it. A pox on them and their “house”.

I may be wrong, but the impression I got from all the winred solicitations I was getting, was that the loot all went to the RNC??

so, I figured none of the winred bucks ever got to an american first or MAGA candidate?

for what it's worth... The following is from Wikipedia. Boldface emphasis is mine.

WinRed is a for-profit fundraising platform built for the GOP.[1][2] GOP leadership began discussing the possibility of building a competitor to ActBlue within days of the 2018 midterm results. WinRed was called Patriot Pass in its initial announcements, with an expected release date of February 2019.[3][4] The name was changed following Robert Kraft's complaints that the name resembled that of his football team, the New England Patriots.[3]

The GOP, the Trump re-election campaign, and other state-wide and local-level races across the United States used the platform as of late 2019, with nearly 800 campaigns using the platform by May 2020.[5] Unlike ActBlue, WinRed does not publicly disclose donation levels.[6][7]

WinRed merged Revv, a GOP payment processing firm founded in December 2014 by Gerrit Lansing, and DataTrust, the party's voter data repository. The platform allows one-click donations.[8][9]

In 2019, the RNC and the Trump administration applied heavy pressure to incentivize all Republican campaigns to use the platform.[2] In April 2020, the platform expanded from its previous representation of only federal-level candidates and opened support to state- and local-level races.[10]
