Donald Trump raises record $50.5m at Florida fundraiser - double the amount netted by Biden at bash also attended by Obama and Clinton - as beaming Melania dazzles in tropical jumpsuit

Donald Trump has raised $50.5 million at a Florida fundraiser for his 2024 re-election campaign - the highest amount ever raised at a single event.

Saturday's $250,000-a-ticket bash was held at the Palm Beach home of Trump supporter John Paulson, and slightly exceeded the $50m fundraising total organizers predicted.

The enormous amount is almost double the $26 million Joe Biden's campaign recently raised at a New York City bash which boasted the added star-power of former Democrat presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

'It's clearer than ever that we have the message, the operation, and the money to propel President Trump to victory on November,' Team Trump told AP.

The presidential hopeful was supported at the dinner by wife Melania, who broke her recent low-profile to dazzle in a tropical, pink jumpsuit.

I didn’t trash them then either, but when the elites trashed Melania, I took the gloves off. Jill is the worst except for when Hillary wears her mumus.

I believe that you meant when she wore her Chairman Mao outfits.

Melania looks older now. We all age. Anyway, she looked goofy in that Pic. She’s usually good with fashion. Maybe she has lived in this country too long so she’s starting to look tacky now.

Agree with both of your posts.

M is always stunning, but this outfit fell short. Conversely , The Doctor (Alice Cooper)Jill is always frumpy, but I once saw a picture of her looking nice (but never stunning).

Can he get about 20 more of those over the next few months? This is good, but Biden and the Dems already had a huge head start and their full propaganda campaign is already in full swing no danger of being interrupted. Their base is also forking over the cash from small donors, not just the big donors...same pattern as in elections past.

Who’s going to be the first nevertrumper desantis supporter to say Trump’s going to waste it all on his legal defense, because

Trump should be paying for his legal expenses out of pocket

and any funds raised should all be allocated to getting down ballot republicans elected

because it’s all about gaslighting how Trump is responsible for how bad the republican party is now, and why he should not be re-elected, when desanctimonious is the ‘true republican conservative’

And yet the Bushes enthusiastically backed DeSantis.

I was suprised George was not at the Biden event with Obama and Clinton. You know he wanted to be. The three of them have been working together to fly illegals into to the US on private jets.

Glad to see Melania joining her husband. She is an asset and will be a good addition to the rest of the time before election.

The top of her outfit is all wrong.

I like it! Looks like a Pink Floyd The Wall animation shot. Or the Hotel-Casino carpet scene in Fear and Loathing. Seriously I like it!

I believe the point the rats made was that Biden had $90 million cash on hand which blew away anything the pukes had on hand.

“I never trashed Hillary or Michelle’s looks”

Why not? They’re both dreadful. It’s almost mandatory to trash them.

Sorry, that post is a corrected sentence in a bigger post -

A “good-looking” statist is ugly.

Melania’s absolutely stunning!

Some people’s kids just don’t have a good sense of style.

The FBI took Melania’s best clothes for “evidence.”

Jackie-O could not compare to Melania. Melania is far more beautiful, brilliant, elegant, and sophisticated. Jackie was intelligent, and in that she might be compared to Melania, but nothing else.

Melania on the covers of fashion mags: 0

Obama’s linebacker tranny wife on the cover of fashion mags: too many to count.
