Trump Team’s Financial Outlook far Stronger than Originally Portrayed
Breitbart ^ | 9 Aug 2023 | MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 08/10/2023 6:25:25 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

The universe of political entities surrounding former President Donald Trump, the leading 2024 GOP candidate, is far stronger financially than some reports originally suggested, Breitbart News has learned from speaking with several senior Trump advisers and from federally-filed data.

“Grassroots donors have given President Trump a massive fundraising advantage, and his campaign team has fiercely protected these precious resources,” a senior Trump campaign aide told Breitbart News. “This ensures that the candidate of the people, President Trump, will continue to operate from a dominant position throughout the primary and general elections.”

There are two major formal entities that comprise the Trump team’s 2024 prospects: his actual campaign and the super PAC MAGA Inc. In addition, there is a leadership PAC that Trump controls called Save America.

The structure of the relationship between the Trump campaign and the leadership PAC is, per a senior Trump campaign official, as follows: All funds raised go through a joint fundraising agreement whereby 90 percent go to the campaign and 10 percent to the leadership PAC. The leadership PAC has been the primary entity that has been handling Trump’s legal fees, and the legal fees of others the former president’s team is helping cover. The cash that goes to the Trump campaign is used for actual campaign operations like travel, advertising, get-out-the-vote efforts, and more.

Trump allies recently established a new legal defense fund, too, called Patriot Legal Defense Fund Inc., which is unaffiliated with the campaign, through which eventually most of the legal bills of others – not Trump himself or his family members – will be covered. Save America, meanwhile, is expected to continue covering the legal bills of the former president and his family members and perhaps some others.

I read yesterday that the slimeball Jack Smith is looking into Trump’s fundraising. I have a sneaky suspicion that Smith is going to attempt to grab all of Trump’s campaign cash under one pretext or another, as well as indict him yet again on some sort of financial crime.

80% of the Meatball Donors are rich globalist.
Only 20% are small donors.

Jack Smith looks like a literal sociopath with his crazy eyes and unkept beard.

The dirt he must have on those above him…

The advantage of being mainly crowd-funded is that pleasing your donors and pleasing the voters mean the same thing. Some other candidates are finding out that with big donors that is not the case.

“I have a sneaky suspicion that Smith is going to attempt to grab all of Trump’s campaign cash...”

Then we’ll just have to double our donations :P

“Jack Smith looks like a literal sociopath with his crazy eyes and unkept beard.”

There’s actually a perfect phrase in the parlance that fits: “wild-eyed Marxist”.
