Former President Donald Trump’s political action committee has paid the French-born stylist who designed Melania Trump’s inaugural ball gown more than $260,000 for “strategy consulting” since the start of last year, filings with the Federal Election Commission show.
Hervé Pierre Braillard was paid $108,000 by the Save America PAC during the first six months of 2023, receiving the money in increments of $18,000 each month, according to a half-year report filed with the FEC Monday night.
Braillard, who goes by Hervé Pierre professionally, also received $152,500 in 2022, broken down into eight monthly payments of $18,000 between May and December of that year — along with an initial $6,000 payment for April and a $2,500 “year-end bonus.” *** My role is to dress the First Lady and advise her – I’m not a stylist; I am an adviser, and she is adamant about that,” Braillard told Vogue in 2017.
*** Save America, which is primarily supported by small-dollar donations, began 2022 with a nine-figure war chest that has dwindled to fewer than $4 million in cash on hand as of the end of June, FEC data indicates.
Part of what kept the PAC in the black was a $12.25 million rebate from an initial $60 million transfer to Make America Great Again Inc., a PAC that’s also aligned with Trump’s 2024 bid.
Save America also dished out more than $21 million in the first six months of this year to foot the bill for legal advice for Donald Trump and some of his associates. ***

Did you ever notice the American hating left always look like suspects, like they're being marched to prison or the gallows?
Do you support the U.S. funding and or arming Ukraine?
I get it, you just do not like Trump, because you have an incredible case of TDS.
Rupert Murdoch is out to crucify Trump, because he & his children are leftist foreigner scumbags who enjoy throwing their financial weight around to be king makers. He only became a citizen so that he could shape America to benefit him & his family. So, he paid to cut in line & jump ahead of others and bought his citizenship, in order to be able to create Fox News. Because foreign citizens were prohibited at the time he wanted to create Fix News. Not sure if that is still the case, but it was at the time.
No.
I don't support the U.S. sending any money overseas.
I don't want the U.S. to even have bases overseas.
Do you support ending America's empire and keeping our troops at home to defend our country from invasion, instead of finding other peoples wars to fight?
Anyhow. I was hoping you would tell us how Trump should pay for all the phony lawsuits.
See, that's the problem. America is not an empire, its an independent sovereign Republic. Not an empire. Not the global policeman, not the global baby sitter...That attitude has all but left America dead on the floor.
Don’t dodge.

Who cares?
So what?
And who do you think paid for Hunter’s lawyers
who paid for Hunter’s lawyers?
(1) Democrats and (2) taxpayers (the so-called prosecuting lawyers are also Hunter’s lawyers)
Welcome to the real world. It really isn’t unfair. We have to win in spite of it not being fair.
People have no idea how stupendous was Trump’s victory in 2016. He would have been re-elected except for COVID (and I suspect that was a dirty trick). But this upcoming election isn’t a mulligan and Trump losing control of himself was bad form.
They're your own words. You say you're not a neocon or anti Trump?
Then why do you call America an empire? It's an independent sovereign Republic. Not an empire. Not the global policeman, not the global baby sitter. Did you not know this? Your "American empire" attitude has all but left America dead on the floor.
Btw, American IS being invaded right here, right now, by tens of millions from God knows where, and it's been happening for 40+ years now. It's a national security time bomb. No?
A government that refuses to secure it's own sovereign legitimate borders will itself eventually become illegitimated. And we're almost there.
Amazing how many of the neocons spit on Trump while they're on their knees to the Churchill of the Steppes, zElensky...
If there was you could quote it.

Trump "schemed" with the Democrats?
Sounds anti-Trump to me.
We already KNOW you're a neocon.
He’s an out and proud neocon.
Not even close to John Edwards
ping me when Donald Trump raises campaign cash to run for reelection as Florida’s governor and promises not to run for President during his current term.
Ping me when Donald Trump coerces the Florida state legislature to change current law in order for him to slap donors in the face and use existing Governor reelection campaigne funds to run for President thereby breaking his promise to his donors.
Those are KO comments. Good job.
