I can't remember if this is the best way to donate directly.

Now, HERE it says all money goes directly to the candidate.

Now WHO are you going to beleive? ONe blog (media) that says otherwise?

Trump uses it . Do your research before believing a BLOG.

I just looked it up, too.

It says this:
WinRed’s technology provides tools for campaigns, candidates, and committees to raise money.
Your donation goes straight to your candidate. WinRed just helps it get there, and our setup makes it easy to fundraise with multiple campaigns at once.

WinRed charges a 3.94% processing fee for every transaction made. Only candidates and organizations you choose to donate to will receive money.

When you make a donation on WinRed, you are donating to a specific candidate or organization, but your donation will first pass through the WinRed PAC for federal committees. For donations to state level committees, WinRed Technical Services is used as a vendor to process donations.

At least it sounds like this doesn't go through the RNC, and that most of the money actually gets to the canditate, but they still seem sketchy in their contradictions.

So is there another way to donate directly to DJT?

Thanks, all.

Love,
O2

Yes, winred is a for profit company so there is very little information. The media HAS to make up information as there is none out there.

The good news/bad news it is private info. We have to trust the candiddates that it works.

The processing fee is ok. Yes, winred is agressive. live with it.

If WinRed is Trumps chosen method, I will trust Trump.

Winred is legit.

Might be legit, but they will sell your email addy to everyone.

Sure, if you don’t mind the RNC sucking it up to use against Trump.

WinRed is a PRIVATE, for profit, fund raising company, but it is the one President Trump has linked to his official web page. I don’t know that there’s any other, better way to get campaign funds to him.

Perhaps that kind of misinformation at least partially helps explain the lack of fundraising for so many of our candidates - spreading false rumors scaring people off from donating to them. Meanwhile the Left continues to rake in the cash for every candidate - many tens of millions for each and every candidate - from small donations, crushing our candidates as our base leaves our own candidates just twisting in the wind.

Thanks, everybody.

I’m going to trust President Trump, and I know now that WinRed is not the RNC.

I am going to contribute, because I think it would be a really good thing if DJT got a moneybomb today, so I’m going to do my little part.

Love,
O2

I watched it, the complaint about winred is that their fee is too high. I don’t dispute that but it is not far from what credit card companies charge. The complaints about others that take 90% and the DNC are valid, but it doesn’t appear this applies to winred.

Do you have a better way to donate? This is the only way to donate from the official donaldjtrump.com website, so this must be one that he trusts.

Thanks for the input,

Love,
O2

I wish there was a way to bypass Winred and go direct to Trup and other candidates. I could do without all of the insulting and nonstop spam.

I believe that having a sketchy outfit like what Winred seems to be is hurting fundraising. After I donate hard earned money, that last thing I want to hear five hundred times a week is. “Hi, Don Jr. here. dad was just asking me where you have been. He told me that he needs you now more than ever. If you donate right now, an unspecified entity will match your donation by five-thousand-gazillion-billion percent. Please do it now. Dad is in tears at how you have abandoned him. You are the only way we can win ColoradoDoug”.

In 2020, I tried to use WinRed.com to donate to Trump. But the as I went on with their website, I decided they were using way too many third-party domains (JavaScript sources, as indocated by NoScript). So I stopped before “Submitting” my info.

I found out later (when I started getting spam from them) that they were recording my info *as* I typed, a practice I find unethical (albeit easy to implement), since I hadn’t explicitly agreed to anything yet!

Now, the rest of the story.

Unfortunately, the old-fashioned solution of sending a check I then used turned out badly.

I sent the check to Trump’s HQ in NYC, and I used USPS tracking to make sure it arrived. It didn’t. Every time I checked online, USPS could not report where it was. I eventually gave up checking.

Then, many months after the election was over, and the putsch completed, the check cleared (and IIRC USPS tracking finally confirmed it had arrived). At that point I figured that maybe it would somehow help Trump in the future, so I let it ride.

At that point, as you might imagine, I took this episode as additional circumstantial evidence of election fraud (with USPS employee, if not management, collusion).

That looks like a different PAC. The article you posted is about the “Richard Uihlein-funded People Who Play By The Rules PAC”, which looks like a PAC local to Illinois. I don’t see any mention of the WinRed PAC.
