Trump breaks with key loyalist David Bossie over 'deceptive' fundraising
Washington Examiner ^ | May 7, 2019

Posted on 05/07/2019 2:12:04 PM PDT by deplorableindc

President Trump broke with longtime associate David Bossie on Tuesday, with Trump's 2020 campaign accusing an organization run by Bossie of "deceptive" fundraising and calling for its investigation.

"The president was livid when he learned about what David Bossie’s group was doing," a person close to the campaign and familiar with the president's thinking told the Washington Examiner. "He thought it was unconscionable to trick people into thinking they were donating to the Trump campaign when they were not."

Bossie served as Trump's deputy campaign manager in 2016 and interviewed with Trump in December for the position of White House chief of staff. On Sunday, the Campaign Legal Center and Axios reported that a Bossie-run group called the Presidential Coalition raised $18.5 million in 2017 and 2018, but spent just $425,000 on political activities.

Can someone explain how this differs from the long history of the Republican National Committee using Trump’s name to fund raise and then doing everything in their power to keep him from winning the nomination, keep him from getting elected and prevent his agenda from succeeding?

Was Bossie in on the deal the Trump campaign made with the RNC?

FLASHBACK: Trump Victory campaign raised tens of millions but turned a huge majority over to the RNC,

I am tired.

I casually looked at the caption and thought it read “Trump breaks with David Bowie...”

Oh, I need another Pepsi really soon.

I got one of them fund raising letters from that organization. I get them from the RNC and lots of other groups. I only donate directly to President Trump on his official site. No third party organizations , no middle men to skim off money for other ‘’ things ‘’.

The GOP has been doing this for probably 30 years.

***************************************
All the fundraising emails that I get show that it is joint fundraising with the RNC. I responded to one from “Don Jr.” that I did not want to send money split with the RNC.
Do you have a link or mailing address that takes donations for President Trump only???? Thanks
