Trump makes it so easy to fool his supporters.
The Washington Post reported late last month that Trump’s Save America PAC has raked in over $75 million in 2021, largely on the idea that last November’s election was stolen and Trump needs all the help he can get to uncover the truth. The report continues to note that not much of this money has actually been spent on efforts to overturn the election, instead going to Trump’s travel, legal costs, and other expenses. Maybe it will be used to prop up MAGA-friendly Republicans running in 2022? Maybe it will be used to fuel a Trump presidential run in 2024? Maybe it won’t. There aren’t many limits on the how the Save America PAC can spend its money.
Trump’s shameless attempts to wring money out of his supporters pre-date his departure from office, of course. Beginning in 2018, his campaign held a series of contests to have lunch with the president, but there’s no evidence they ever delivered on the offer. Various forms of trickery were employed throughout the remainder of Trump’s time in office, including an insidious effort to dupe supporters into unwittingly sign up for recurring donations, as The New York Times reported in April.
