Cash Cow Central: Trump 2020
Steady Flow of Ready Cash
This story ties in directly
to this posted earlier: Trump Family and Ethical Rules.
This story highlights follow
from The Week and other sources.
From The Week:
A private fundraiser at Trump
International Hotel in Washington, DC on Wednesday (June 28) brought in an estimated $10 million, organizers said, with
the money being split between President Trump's campaign and the RNC.
Trump spoke for 30 minutes in
front of 300 supporters, party leaders, and major Republican donors, some who
paid more than $30,000 for entrance, 40 months ahead of the 2020 election.
Not having any legislative
victories to tout, Trump instead praised his own deregulation efforts and said
health-care reform has to be done, two
people present at the event told Politico. He also went after
the media, primarily CNN, suggesting that he is a victim of their reporting,
and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
From The AP, in part:
Among the fundraiser attendees: Longtime GOP fundraiser-turned television commentator
Mica Mosbacher and Florida lobbyist
and party financier Brian Ballard
were among the fundraiser attendees.
Breaking
the tradition of his predecessor, Trump didn't allow reporters into the event —
despite an announcement earlier in the day that a pool of reporters would be
allowed in to hear the president's remarks.
“It's a political event and they've chosen to keep that separate,”
White House deputy press secretary Sarah
Huckabee-Sanders said when asked why the event is closed to the media, [but]
after reporters complained, Sanders announced that the president's remarks
would be opened to the press — only to reverse herself hours later.
Then she add that there was nothing unusual about raising political
cash so early.
The
man has no shame – run for president every single day – market the Trump name
and brand above all else … world events and such – they take a backseat to our
Trump Family Empire, Inc. motto: “Trump’s First – That’s all that matters.”
I
prefer to call it: “The Art of the Con.”
Thanks
for stopping by.
