MAGA’s New Charlie Kirk Caught Asking for Thousands in Sting

The keynote speech to the University of Las Vegas Foundation’s annual dinner became controversial in July when students said they wanted funds put towards student aid, instead of Clinton’s $225,000 speaking fee.

That was just wrong.
Those kids needed the $$$, not Hillary.
 

Presidency Boosts Trump’s Net Worth By $3 Billion In A Year.​



Dnald Trump just had the most lucrative year of his life. The president is now worth a record $7.3 billion, up from $4.3 billion in 2024, when he was still running for office. The $3 billion gain vaulted him 118 spots on The Forbes 400, where he lands at No. 201 this year.

No president in U.S. history has used his position of power to profit as immensely as Trump. His primary vehicle for enrichment: cryptocurrency, an asset class full of hype and vulnerable to regulators. Teaming up with his three sons, Trump announced a crypto venture in September 2024 named World Liberty Financial, which initially struggled to gain traction. Then he won the White House.

How much money is Trump making off of the presidency?​



ARI SHAPIRO, HOST:



Before Donald Trump became the president of the United States, he was a business tycoon. And in some ways, that never really stopped. At the beginning of his first term, Trump and his family said they wouldn't make any new deals abroad. He did not make any such promise before he took the oath of office for the second time, and the Trumps now have five major deals in the Persian Gulf alone. He also has new crypto ventures, merch and so much more that it can be hard to keep it all straight. So David Kirkpatrick tried to answer a simple question that has a very complicated answer. How much money is Donald Trump making off the presidency? He breaks it down dollar-by-dollar in The New Yorker. David, welcome to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.



DAVID KIRKPATRICK: Good to be here.



SHAPIRO: You're trying to figure out not just how much money Trump is making while he's president, but how much he's making because he's president. So to start with a specific example, tell us how you answer that question when it comes to a place like Mar-a-Lago - this private member's club - that Trump owned and was making money from long before he entered the Oval Office.

You people ***** HRC and ignore the graft and grift of 47.
Do you think that the Democratic Party could have given the working class and lower tax cuts? Nice huge ones. They do not.
 
Why should we care that a speaker gets paid to give speeches?
Exactly.

From the OP link:

After the Mail published its story, another young MAGA leader, William Branson Donahue, posted an invoice from February which showed Hollyhand had been paid $2191.91 for “travel, lodging and meals,” for an event at State College, PA, for Penn State College Republicans, saying that made Hollyhand’s denial he take cash to speak “a lie.”


.

I don't understand what the problem is. Two grand to cover expenses. How is this a scandal?

Whenever a gang leader is killed or jailed, there is a bloody fight for succession.

That's what this feels like.

Someone is trying to knock Hollyhand out of the running as Kirk's successor.
 
This is what the fight to be the leader of the pack is really all about:

Turning Point USA netted $85 million in revenue in 2024 alone, up more than 142% over the last five years. The vast majority, 99.2%, of that revenue comes from charitable contributions, including at least $350,000 from Kirk himself in 2024.


$85 million in just one year! That's what the contestants are after.

Exactly.

A 19 year old speaker asking to be paid is a gang leader now???
