It's all a big fundraising scam!!!
They're gonna try and retire general election campaign debt and build their war chests by rallying behind a delusional outgoing president when they know Biden will be President on 01/20/21.
Our campaign finance system allows/incentivizes this!

Really is just trying to fire up the base for the Georgia Senate run-offs. I think he knows Trumps toast.

... on the day he's out of his current job, January 20th, 2021.

(8,048 posts)10. It may be a fundraising scam for the Trump family, but it's also
