Melania Trump was paid $237,500 for a speech at an April fundraiser for the Log Cabin Republicans at Mar-a-Lago, one of the only times she has been seen on the campaign trail.

 

This payment, listed as a "speaking engagement" in Donald Trump’s financial disclosure, is highly unusual for a candidate's spouse. However, it remains unclear who actually funded her appearance, as the group itself denies covering the cost.

 

Records show Melania Trump was also paid $250,000 for a Log Cabin Republican event in December 2022, one of three payments for $250,000 or more that she received for speaking that month.

Trump is changing rapidly. Low energy, far fewer rallies as compared to 2020, spends almost all of his time at Mar-a-Lago, out of ideas, can't find anything that gives him traction against Kamala and yesterday he said that if he loses to Kamala he won't run in 2028. So he has already entertained the idea that he will lose. He's madly selling everything possible, like silver coins, digital trading cards and now crypto. He's trying to milk the MAGA morons for every last nickel before he ends up in jail. Trivia: People who buy the $100 coins (worth 30 dollars in silver) think they are contributing to the campaign. Not true. They are contributing to Trump's bank account. 

 

He'll go live with Snowden the day after loses all the election challenges.

@Elias Pettersson You were wondering how to tell if insiders are selling. The stock getting mauled in the opening minute after lock up expiry on huge volume is usually a good sign. Only question is which insider(s) was it?

Loomer going full Loomer.

It's good she is finally admitting and penly that the GOP has done NOTHING in teh past 4 years, that republicans have done absolutely nothing and have nothing to show for the past 4 years.

 

This should be national news for the democratic advertising and marketing teams

The GOP has flipped long time Democratic stronghold, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania from Blue to Red.

 

DRAMA!!!

 

Had to get a local link because the national media won't report it.

 

If Trump takes Pennsylvania, Marmalade Man may very well be back in the White House.

This is just registration numbers, so an 83 person lead in registrations. I think it will still swing back and forth and it's gonna be decided by turnout. 

 

Though yes, if there's one thing the Trump campaign is doing well, it's the ground game in Pennsylvania. They just need Georgia (lost by 10k votes in 2020) and Pennsylvania to win.

 

Although the math becomes more interesting in Harris flips North Carolina.

One of the more bizzare polling data stats is that Trump, a convicted felon, insurrectionist, and facing even more legal problems still leads Harris, a former police prosecutor, in the category of "crime/law and order"

My theory is it's because the Repugs have managed to convince the masses that the bulk of the crime in the US is being committed by illegal immigrants. (which of course, is untrue) Trump has promised mass deportations if elected, so the rubes believe this will magically "fix" everything....

 

A great example is Fentanyl.

 

Repugs love to blame this on illegals, but 60 minutes did a story about it last night and 90% of Fentanyl comes in through border crossings and 60% of the people bringing it in are American citizens. In a nutshell, "mass deportations" will not significantly affect Fentanyl smuggling. It will, however, affect the economy, as it will remove needed labor from the US.....

You know... I'm anti-Trump, but if I get paid $250K, I'll gladly be on his side for one evening.

When you send out a statement talking about the STATE of Georgia, you should probably be aware that there is a COUNTRY as well.  Images may be from said country.  Team TRUMP didn't get the memo.

 

 

r/PoliticalHumor - That's the wrong Georgia in the pic.  Freudian slip?

Literally off the USDS website.:classic_laugh: (8th row down in google images)
