Trump's Voter Fraud Claims Are A Scam To Pay Off Campaign Debt

Trump won’t concede defeat, and he is using the majority of the funds raised to fight voter fraud to pay off his campaign debts.

The Wall Street Journal reported:


Clicking through to the donation page, potential givers can review a disclaimer that 50% of any contribution will be used for general election campaign debt retirement and 50% for the campaign’s recount account.

Other Trump fundraising pitches in recent days ask for help to “protect the integrity of this election” but lead to a donation page for Mr. Trump’s “Make America Great Again” committee. The fine print on those solicitations says 60% of a contribution helps the campaign retire debt and 40% goes to the Republican National Committee.

Notice that none of the money is going to a specific legal fund to sue over voter fraud.

Trump’s finances are in bad shape. He is drowning in debt, and he appears to be trying to scam his fans. - PoliticusUSA


The grift goes on. Open up your wallets Cult45. If you have a change drawer, he'll take that too.

Trump properties and businesses going on right now? Gotta incur campaign debts with themselves so that some of that money coming in to pay down campaign debts can go right into the Trumps' pockets.

Although I have no sympathy for his marks after they almost dragged this country back to another four years of hell.
