Guess what, Lindsey. Anyone named Trump is tattooed with distrust, and needs to stay out of the public eye unless gluttony for punishment is on his or her to-do list.

There are definitely some Qanon creeps here in NC, but most republicans are the old school kind, for the most part, and I don't think the trumps are that appealing at the moment.

better, that there is such a good Dem candidate on the horizon that she won't have a chance.

North Carolina, come on. Become the next "Georgia."

Democrats need a strong and focused candidate who can run circles atound Lara Trump. Jamie Harrison is probably working on that already.

If that candidate is African -American with an impressive resume, it could be a landslide. I think Americans want to separate themselves from Trump.

He must be so compromised, and at risk of prison, that he is willing to give his soul--and life to Trump. What power Trump has over him. Does he not see that he is a laughing stock? And how the hell does he continue to get reelected?

The brand is wounded and it's only going to get worse in the next couple of years.

Any political aspirations she had died on January 6th. Lindsey knows this and is just being a dick and an ass-kisser.

They may not get enough to prosecute him but at least make him sweat and maybe commit perjury.

20. Dog Rescue Charity Linked To Lara Trump Funneling Money Into Donald Trump's Pocket
Sat Mar 13, 2021, 11:19 PM
Mar 2021

This family is pond scum and drifters




A dog rescue charity with links to Lara Trump has spent as much as $1.9 million at former President Donald Trump’s properties over the last seven years and will drop an additional quarter-million at his Mar-a-Lago country club this weekend.

According to a permit filed with the town of Palm Beach, Florida, Big Dog Ranch Rescue estimates it will spend $225,000 at the club where Donald Trump has taken up full-time residence since leaving the White House. All the profit from that spending winds up in his pocket.

Internal Revenue Service filings show that the group has spent as much as $1,883,160 on fundraising costs at Mar-a-Lago and Trump’s golf course 18 miles north in Jupiter starting in 2014. Lara Trump, the wife of Eric Trump, started being listed as a chairwoman for charity events in 2018, and the group’s president, Lauren Simmons, visited the White House in 2019 for the signing of a bill addressing animal cruelty......

Daughter-in-law Lara Trump has been advertised as a “chairwoman” of the charity’s fundraisers over the past several years. The spending by a charity she is associated with at her family’s businesses mirrors practices at Donald Trump’s now-shuttered Trump Foundation and Eric Trump’s Eric Trump Foundation, which also spent donor money at Trump properties.

The self-dealing by the Trump Foundation was so egregious that New York state Attorney General Letitia James cited it as the reason the charity could no longer operate.

Donald Trump over the course of his presidency funneled $8.5 million of Republican donor money into his own cash registers by directing spending by the entities he controlled, including the Republican National Committee, toward his own businesses. He similarly directed several million taxpayer dollars into his own properties by insisting on spending his frequent golf vacations there, thereby forcing Secret Service and other support staff to spend money at them, as well.
