RNC warning to Trump: If you run for president, we stop paying your legal bills, says official

[initforme]

It's Desantis time. Every indicator points to it. We need new younger leadership.

Trump is now a retired private citizen. So why is he taking charity from the RNC?

Is he broke or just a freeloader?

Even as a private citizen, Trump has far more power than you're even aware of. Paying his legal fees is not happening out of the goodness of the GOP's national committee's hearts. They are doing that because they know how valuable Trump is to the party. He is still seen to have solid fundraising power, as can be already seen as we approach the midterm elections. His record of endorsing candidates is amazing, and the majority of those do end up winning the primary elections.

As one of the most important leaders of the Republican party, defending President Trump and his record of achievement is critical to the GOP. It is entirely appropriate for the RNC to continue assisting in fighting back against the Democrats' never ending witch hunts and attacks on him. That's what's called "party loyalty."

Democrats are clamoring for Trump to run. Democrats only know how to run Against and have nothing to run for.

 

[Clipper]

If he runs there won't be any legal bills... no way the DOJ goes after a primary winner that is running for president....

Trump will decide what to do when he decides which way he can line his pockets. Does he continue to freeload off the RNC by not running, or pay his own legal bills & run?

Either way Trump is screwed & he did it to himself. He just can't help it. If your party is smart they'll give this guy the hook & let him fend for himself. He ain't worth the trouble.

‘Republican leaders who worry that Donald Trump could hurt their midterm chances by announcing a presidential run too soon are hoping he'll be dissuaded from doing so by the prospect of losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal payments, according to an RNC official.

Since October 2021, the Republican National Committee has paid nearly $2 million to law firms representing Trump as part of his defense against personal litigation and government investigations.

But an RNC official told ABC News that as soon as Trump would announce he is running for president, the payments would stop because the party has a "neutrality policy" that prohibits it from taking sides in the presidential primary.’

RNC warning to Trump: If you run for president, we stop paying your legal bills, says official

Some GOP leaders are hoping the prospect of losing massive legal payments would dissuade Donald Trump from announcing a presidential run too soon.

Republicans have only themselves to blame.

ABC “news” appears to have no actual source. But Adam_Clayton will lap it up anyway because that’s his game.

Trump's not screwed... look.... the DOJ stopped short of saying that they are indeed opening up a criminal investigation... they haven't pulled the trigger... its a trial balloon and I think they got big pushback from a lot of people....
They don't have a case sturdy enough to bring against a former US President...
It would end up only making him stronger..... and may propel him back into the white house....

I have a scoop from one of my anonymous sources...

Clayton and his boyfriend were turning until the gay bar when a semi rear ended them. Clayton's boyfriend sashayed back to the truck, looked up at the driver and said "me and and my boyfriend Clayton are going to sue you!"

The truck driver looks damn and says "Here's a newsflash for ya Buddy...You and your boyfriend Clayton can suck...my...cock!"

Clayton's boyfriend heads back up to the car and says "Oh Clayton...it's wonderful news...he wants to settle out of court!"

 

[TheGreatSatan]

Democrats make threads like this out of fear. They are desperately looking for any reason Trump won't run.

It's a quid pro quo..

They pay his legal fees, ONLY if he does not announce running for president again, before the November election.

How nuts is that....? The RNC is paying Trump (court and legal fees) to keep his mouth shut on his presidential plans or to not run at all....BECAUSE the RNC believes Trump running again for president, WOULD HURT the Republican Candidates running for office in November 2022... it seems?

Screw that deal. Trump can afford his own legal fees.

No guts, no glory, he should run.

Why would Trump pay his own legal bills when he can freeload off of others?

The only thing Trump is "freeloading" is that space between your ears. You should at least charge him some rent or something.

Now feel free any time to tell me how much salary he accepted as President.

Trump's not freeloading but the RNC is footing the bill for his lawyers.

Got it.

 

[g5000]

If he announces, Trump would also have to give up his $100 million of PAC money.

But he made a cool quarter of a billion dollars bilking the rubes with his fake "election defense fund". So he has that going for him.

Or . . . it would hurt all the other Republican presidential hopefuls who are salivating at the chance to run against Grandpa Joe.

Ya think?

Trump is either gonna be the GOP nominee in 2024, or he will choose the GOP nominee in 2024. No one else has a large enough voter base to sustain their flow of donations past Super Tuesday.

The Democratic Party strategy of running against Trump since Biden was elected, is a sound one. That's what they should be doing. Their execution leaves a lot to be desired, but they aren't wrong in understanding that Trump, or his hand-picked successor is the one to fear.

Why would they not want to support him in his fight against you people? Trump is a great investment to the RNC. Even as a private citizen, Trump has far more power than you're even aware of. Paying his legal fees is not happening out of the goodness of the GOP's national committee's hearts, they are doing that because they know how valuable he is to the party. He is still acknowledged as the most influential Republican in this country's history, and has unmatched fundraising power. His record of endorsed candidates winning their primary elections speaks for itself.

I know you'd like to believe that the majority of Republicans don't support President Trump, but you're dead wrong. While your party has proven themselves to be idiots, liars, charlatans, incompetent boobs, and failures, the party of Trump is still a cohesive unit that you're going to have to face in November and 2024.

Good luck, bro. You're sure gonna need it.

 

[Care4all]

Now feel free any time to tell me how much salary he accepted as President.

fyi-

All of his salary was paid to him.. By law, our presidents must be paid a salary. He then donated all of it....to different federal agencies.

JFK also donated all of his salary, and I think Hoover did as well....

If Trump is that valuable to the GOP then there is something seriously wrong with that outfit.

It's not a political party anymore. It's a dumpster oozing with rot.

He accepted nothing. So what? Let's let Trump off the hook even though he's a serial criminal who tried to enact a coup because he waived his salary?

You must have heard him on the radio today from his golf tourney where he's rubbing elbows with the Saudi's for the golf tournament. Yea, I heard him too puking more of his election lies & rubbing it in the listener's face how he accepted no salary. Amirite?

Nobody gives a shit that Trump accepted no salary because he's a fascist lowlife.
