Dementia Don’s new joint fundraising agreement with the RNC directs donations to his campaign and a political action committee that pays the former president’s legal bills before the RNC gets a cut.

Here's the order of how the donations flow:

1. The Trump campaign gets the maximum amount allowed under federal law.

2. The Save America PAC gets the second largest cut (again, the maximum amount allowed under federal law) but is barred from spending directly on Trump’s own campaign activities. The group devoted 84% of its spending to Trump’s legal costs as of February.

3. If there's any money left, it next goes to the RNC.

4. On the off chance there's still anything remaining, it goes to state political parties.

The unorthodox diversion of funds to the Save America PAC makes it more likely that Republican donors could see their money go to Trump’s lawyers, who have received at least $76 million over the last two years to defend him against four felony indictments and multiple civil cases. Some Republicans are already troubled that Trump’s takeover of the RNC could shortchange the cash-strapped party. ... Lara Trump in February said she thought Republican voters would like to see the RNC pay Trump’s legal fees."

Grifters gotta' grift.

Enjoy being fleeced, suckers.

Is that actually legal? I don't know, I'm askin'. Seems that would be a misuse of campaign funds to me. I would think Trump would have to start a separate fund for his legal fees (either figuratively, or literally, a "GoFundMe"). Not tapping into the RNC war chest. Or I could be completely wrong about this.

May 3rd, 2016: "If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it." - Lindsey Graham.

It wasn't enough for Trump to destroy the Republican party at the federal level, but now he is going to do it at lower levels as well. All of those down ballot Republicans are going to be starved for cash because all of the suckers money is going to go to pay for Trump's legal bills. The RNC already started reducing headcount in order to save money when this is the time of year they should be increasing headcount in order to prepare for the upcoming elections.

well, maybe less money for downticket GOP is not a bad thing.

there are a plethora of state races to see who is most unhinged AND trump's best friend. hiding behind a 'mom' label seems to be the rage.

ads originating in NC feature the worst candidate in state history for governor (quite an achievement...hiding racism behind himself being a minority). but wait, NC has even a less qualified 'concerned mom' running for superintendent of public education. of course she homeschools her children, has previously been endorsed by Moms for Liberty, and was a Jan6 tourist.

some of Michele Morrow's highlights :

...Obama should be the subject of “a pay-per-view of him in front of a firing squad”, adding: “I do not want to waste another dime on supporting his life. We could make some money back from televising his death.”

In Dec 2020, when Biden, as president-elect, said he would ask Americans to wear masks against Covid-19 for 100 days, Morrow – a nurse – wrote: “Never. We need to follow the constitution’s advice and KILL all TRAITORS!!!”

Other Democrats that Morrow said should be executed, CNN said, included the Minnesota congresswoman Ilhan Omar; the North Carolina governor, Roy Cooper; former New York governor Andrew Cuomo; the former first lady, senator, secretary of state and presidential nominee Hillary Clinton; and the New York senator Chuck Schumer.
Morrow also called for the executions of Anthony Fauci, a senior public health adviser to Donald Trump during the Covid pandemic, and Bill Gates, the Microsoft founder and vaccination campaigner..
