The grift doesn't stop. Today Trump sent out an email soliciting contributions for a "Georgia Recount Fund." But per the fine print on the donation page, contributions under $8000 go to Trump's PAC and the RNC. Only above that does a portion go to the recount fund. Grift!

They're not required to pay for the recount in GA - that's being done by the state at the state's expense.

If a recount is requested, then all ballots will be scanned and electronically counted.

I’m in Georgia. The vote is supposed to be certified by the state by November 20.

Edit: The state should reimburse each of the 150 counties.

Boy this cretin just doesn't have any self-control or pride. He is always going to be known as The Biggest Loser and crime boss in US presidential politics.

If there are any contributions over $8K (fat chance), you can send that to Georgia for the recount fund. If that pile doesn't pay the bill, so be it.

Wouldn't be the first time the RNC/Trump walked away from a debt.

Georgians are paying for the recount ordered by their Republican SoS.

Trump didn't have to ask, and he doesn't have to pay.

I guess it was Wisconsin who was going to charge him $7.9M? My bad.

Oh, well. Just change the name on the grifting bag. They'll be happy to direct the money where it belongs. Pretty pathetic.

At least no one who remembers that Trump has paid out large settlements to make civil fraud cases go away.
