I've been told here numerous times that he doesn't need and doesn't have PACs.

This is impossible because if Trump has super-Pacs, he’s totally bought and paid for by the Establishment.

I heard it on FReerepublic.

There are a lot of pro-trump people and it is not surprising that they would create a PAC.

“I’ve been told here numerous times that he doesn’t need and doesn’t have PACs.”

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.

Anyone can form a Super PAC, Cruz has several of them supporting him. It’s not surprising that someone has formed a pro-Trump Super PAC.

Candidates can’t “have” PACs. Trump “has” none. Neither do Cruz or Kasich, for that matter.

The Great America PAC is independent Political Action Committee formed by activist Amy Kremer and businessman Bill Doddridge to help grow the burgeoning Movement behind Donald Trump and merge the grassroots with the business community.

Since he does have a PAC, he must be involved in the advertisement.
It's illegal for a candidate to coordinate with a PAC, you say? Pshaw, you believe that will stop him? They do it all the time.
At least I read something basically saying that on FR.

Trump’s Campaign Manager, Corey Lewandowski told The Hill– “These guys are scam artists doing it for their own personal benefit and seeking to profiteer off Trump’s name. People should not give to this or any other super-PAC claiming to support Donald Trump for president.”

Tjos os a scam, and this entire post should be removed.

He has a lot of supporters doesn’t he? But he’s not enjoined by any of them to do their bidding as far as I can tell.

Are you saying Trump has agreed to get money from the Super PAC for specific promises ?

Trump has told all to shut down as soon as they started.

This one looks new and maybe he has not got to them yet. He shut the others down.

Even the Leftys over at Mother Jones don’t buy this PAC’s claim that it is connected to or donates to Trump:

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/03/great-america-pac-donald-trump

A newly formed political action committee is using Donald Trump’s name and trademarked slogan—”Make America Great Again”—in an unusual fundraising ploy. The group, the Great America PAC, has no connection to the Trump campaign, but it has been blasting out emails soliciting donations that it claims will be channeled directly to Team Trump. In a recent email, the PAC implored donors to help “build a grassroots wall of support around Donald Trump by chipping in at least $5 to have your name placed on his official FEC report by signing the ‘I Support Donald Trump’ petition.” On the PAC’s website, donors are asked to donate between $5 and $1,000.

The website notes that the first $5 of each donation will be sent to the Trump campaign. And Dan Backer, the group’s treasurer, tells Mother Jones that this money is indeed “earmarked” for Trump. What happens to the rest of the money, for any donations greater than $5, is not clear. The email does promise to use money the group raises to build a vaguely described grassroots operation that will help support Trump. But there’s no telling how much of the money gathered by this Trumpy PAC will directly fund pro-Trump activities.

The fundraising email is signed by Amy Kremer, a former chairman of the Tea Party Express. Kremer did not respond to a request for comment.

A recipient of the email might be forgiven for assuming it comes from an official Trump-approved outfit. The website prominently features the official Trump slogan: “Make America Great Again.” And there may be a problem with that. Trump trademarked that phrase for the purposes of “political campaign services, namely, promoting public awareness of Donald J. Trump as a candidate for public office; providing online information regarding political issues and the 2016 presidential election;” and for “fundraising in the field of politics.” The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

Asked about the PAC’s use of the trademarked phrase, Backer, a Virginia-based attorney who has helped set up a number of conservative-oriented PACs that capitalize on current events, said the phrase is a quote from Ronald Reagan

2DV, you’ve crossed over to the dark side. Candidates have no control at all over super pacs, and you know it. Let’s cut out the crap. If Cruz prevents Trump from reaching 1,237 he WILL STILL NOT BE THE NOMINEE. Cruz supporters at this point have lost their minds.

Good. Maybe it can run deceitful Heidi pics and then Trump can rightfully claim he has no control over it.

There are LOTS of thieves out there STEALING Trump’s name..including the NRCC and NRSC (they give the $$ to CRUZ after using Trump’s name!).

ONE MORE TIME! Trump has told ALL pacs to STOP using his campaign! But YOU knew that.

Great America is an Independent PAC This is untruthful as usual.

It is not associated with Trump.
