Trump's secret power protection plan: A $500 million war chest

Anyone who thinks President Trump's mesmerizing hold over the GOP will slip if his poll numbers slide is missing one of his biggest innovations in American politics:

The creation of a cash-flush political operation that has raked in around a half-billion dollars — about the same amount the GOP's House and Senate campaign arms spent during the entirety of the last midterm campaign. Why it matters: It's unheard of for a president not running for reelection to raise that kind of money. But the cash is just one piece of a bigger power play that's arguably the most powerful, well-funded political apparatus ever.

And, to add insult to injury, it came from actual donors and not USAID.

The left builds their war chest with taxpayer dollars. But their media wants us to think Trump’s war chest is somehow Dr. Evil.

Their candidate made 2 billion disappear and was still passing the hat around.

“When you combine a 92% approval rating among Republican voters with unlimited money, that equals: ‘Yes, sir.’ “

I’d rather he put it towards the debt. That damn debt hasn’t gone down one penny.

He’s 78 years old. He is not building a legacy.

What his voters want is Swamp drainage. They want that no matter how much money is in play.

Erasure of GOPe candidates must have priority.

I wholeheartedly disagree. The Republicans need to win the midterms first. And keep the Democrats out of making law and running this country.

Funny, I don't remember the HBM (Has Been Media), formerly known as the MSM, complaining when Kamala Harris spent $1.5 billion while losing the election.

And the last I heard, she couldn’t account for where many millions of dollars were spent.

I understand that. But we won’t have a country if that debt doesn’t decrease. It seems like whatever money anybody gets or saves from cuts goes to spending. All the Elon money saved and not one penny to the debt! Why bother?

It’s not enough. And it’ll be useless unless Congress ends the vote cheating.

Why it matters: because it didn’t come from indirect government funding sources. It is voluntarily donated by actual people.
