Donald Trump (74) has been charging a lot since he was removed: his supporters have transferred him around $ 170 million since Election Day on November 3. Reports from the “New York Times”.
After his electoral failure, Trump asked for donations to counter “electoral fraud”, as he calls his defeat, and later to tilt the result in his favor.
Not reading the fine print
However, when it comes to payments to the so-called electoral defense fund, there is small print that many donors probably have not read. According to this, 75 percent of the donations will go to the new political committee “Save America”, which Trump founded for his future political activities and which, in addition to his actions, is to finance his staff and travel.
The remaining 25 percent goes to the Republican Party to cover its operating costs.
A large portion of the contributions comes from small donations from Trump supporters. But outgoing Vice President Mike Pence (61) also asks for money with the cry for help: “Our democracy and freedom are at risk like never before.”
To pay off debts
Brendan Fischer of the Campaign Legal Center said in the Washington Post: “Small donors who believe they are supporting an official electoral defense fund will help pay off the debts of the Trump campaign or finance Trump’s political operations after his presidency. . . “
However, Trump will not get very far in his fight against alleged electoral fraud. Their defeat is clear. Meanwhile, Arizona and Wisconsin, the most disputed states in the United States, have officially confirmed the result of the presidential elections with the victory of Joe Biden (78). (gf)
