TFG raked in $82 million in first half of 2021 and has more than $100 million in the bank
Former president Donald Trump’s political action committees raised $82 million in the first six months of the year and have $102 million on hand, according to filings made public on Saturday.
The sums, which are extraordinary for an ex-president who has been booted off social media, testify to the power of Trump’s online donor base and the deep financial reservoir available to him if he chooses to seek the White House a second time.
Since leaving office, Trump has continued to vigorously solicit donations from supporters, based mostly on false claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election. His fundraising eclipsed that of his party’s House and Senate campaign arms, and was outpaced only slightly by the Republican National Committee, which raised $84 million in the first half of the year.

Trump has broad latitude in how he can spend the money, including on travel and political activities, and has signaled that he may use the resources to exert influence on next year’s midterms, boost candidates he favors and take revenge against those who have spoken out against him. The prolific fundraising also gives him the ability to tap an alternative source of money as his company endures escalating investigations.

I'm sure he plans to use as broad a latitude as possible if you know what I mean.
