After Being Caught Running Fraudulent Fundraisers Trump Will Use White House for New MAGA Campaign

After Being Caught Running Fraudulent Fundraisers Trump Will Use White House for New MAGA Campaign Event

For nearly two years the Trump re-election campaign has been running apparently fraudulent fundraising contests that promise breakfast, lunch, or even dinner with the President – reportedly at least sixteen separate contests over the course of nearly two years. There was just one winner announced and that person never dined with the president.

That’s called fraud. It’s illegal.

(Don’t expect anyone to prosecute Trump or the campaign for it.)

Well-known veteran journalist and founder of both Popular Information and ThinkProgress, Judd Legum, has been chasing down this story for months, and publishing the results in his email newsletter and to Twitter.

Here’s one of his findings:

The Grifter-in-Chief is always the victim, so stop being so mean! It's the promise of being in the presence of His Assholiness that's the thrill, not actually being in his presence. You don't think the RNC or The Donald actually plan to deliver on their promises to their brain-dead cult members, do you?
