Trump's PAC, Save America, is opting supporters into extra 'surprise' donations for his birthday
"Save America, the political action committee (PAC) created by Donald Trump, is urging donors to "surprise" the former president with extra money on his birthday.
When supporters donate via Save America's site, the website automatically ticks a box saying they would like to donate the same amount on Trump's birthday, which is June 14.
For example, if a supporter donates $250, the website automatically opts them in to donating an additional $250 on June 14.
"President Trump's birthday is coming up on June 14th and we want to surprise him with a record breaking fundraising day!" the box reads. "Will you help us?""
More cult behavior from the Trump team. It is all about celebrating and pampering the leader instead of pushing for policies.
The GOP loved to mock Democrats about liking Obama. I don't remember people sending Obama a bunch of money for his birthday.
The headlines in the subject and just the overall tone of the email seems like they're trying to trick people into donations.. I guess the marketing team figured out that that's what works considering most of their base our old middle American that are the demographic most susceptible to those kinds of email scams..
They talk about fighting and defeating in their emails - but it's always who, not what (except when the "what" is made up, like fighting the fraudulent election.) Democrats talk about fighting inequality, homelessness, low pay, fighting for trans rights, for safe neighborhoods, against pollution, for the planet, etc. Republicans talk about defeating "the left" and "the Democrats."
All from Don Jr or Eric saying how dissapointed they are that one of their top donors (my wife, a staunch leftist) is no longer supporting their effort to stop the evil socialists and their clear cut plan to bring communism to America. Emails are filled with references to "Crazy AOC" and "Sleepy Joe". The addressee is a "true American" and a "patriot" who, if they donate, can enter Trump's inner circle of VIP donors. There's no policy discussed, no plan to stop these so called "socialists". Just 100% scare tactics aiming to empty the pockets of pearl clutchers, old people, and plain ole idiots. It makes me so sad that this is what passes as political campaigning in this country. No surprised, just sad.
By pushing donations through his PAC, Trump is trying to siphon donations away from the Republican National Committee and into his own fund, Insider's Julie Gerstein reported. Neither the Save America PAC nor MAGAPac is directly affiliated with the Republican Party.
[...]
Insider's Oma Seddiq reported that there weren't many restrictions on how the donations to the PAC could be spent, so Trump could use the funds for himself, though he can't directly use them for his own future political campaign.
Trump Casino Dream Dashed in Florida as Doral Votes to Ban Gambling
"Eric Trump has been pushing for the struggling Doral resort to be turned into a casino to boost revenue."
The biggest issue I see for Trump on this is that anyone dumb enough to want to go to a shitty Trump casino in 2021 has no money to begin with. The only people who would want to go are 40 year old unemployed incels living in their parents basements tweaking on meth and Monster energy drinks.
He's not even supposed to be living at Mar a Lago and none of the Palm Beach residents want him staying there as a permanent residence, they recently changed the laws to allow extradition so hopefully they'll forcefully take him up to NY for the Southern District to prosecute him and his children/organization/cohorts. I don't want him down here.
There is ample economic evidence that casinos drain tourism resources in established tourism areas, and they kill small business. Casinos keep the money, they do not spread it around as other businesses do, as they are not symbiotic but parasitic in nature. Finally a little something to be proud of in Florida.
