The Washington Post said that President Donald Trump is not really trying to change the election result. Rather, he is simply running another fraud before he leaves office to enrich himself financially.

In

an article by writer Dana Milbank, the

newspaper stated

that dozens of donation e-mails sent by his campaign since the elections request money to contest the elections, but the minute details show that the money can be allowed to transfer into his pocket.

The article pointed out that one of these messages read, “From Donald J Trump, President of the United States. They are trying to steal this election. I promise that my team is fighting around the clock to defend the integrity of the elections, but we cannot do it alone. We need every patriot like you,” To move forward and make sure we have the resources necessary to continue ... Please contribute any amount now to defend the elections. "

How to cheat

But in the link provided to the "Official Election Defense Fund" the official legal text finally says something somewhat different: 60% of the $ 5,000 contribution goes to the "Save America" ​​fund, a newly created political action committee by Trump.

And go to 40% of the contribution of up to 35 thousand and 500 dollars to the operating account of the National Committee of the Republican Party, which is a political fund that has no legal status.

One penny will not go to the "recount" account except after reaching the first maximum ($ 5,000), and only after reaching the second maximum ($ 35,000) will the remainder go to the account of the Republican National Committee.

The writer quoted Paul S. Ryan, deputy head of the policy and litigation division at Common Cause, as saying, "It's bait and direct," because it is clear that these e-mail requests target small donors who will not donate more than $ 5,000, so their contributions will not reach. To "recount" accounts or used to contest elections.

Instead, it will be used to expand Trump's influence over the Republican National Committee during Biden's presidency, which amounts to a "fund" for Trump's personal use.

“There is no limit to how much Trump can earn for himself or any member of his family under the Save America program,” Ryan notes.

Previous versions of email applications for the Election Defense Fund indicated that the money would be used to pay off Trump's campaign debt.

He was supposed to have raised enough to pay the debts on his election campaign and "is now creating a new fund for his personal enrichment."

We should not be surprised

The article stated that Trump used the presidency to self-enrichment, so there is no reason to believe his election defeat would stop him.

He has funneled massive sums of taxpayers 'money and political supporters' money to his various hotels, golf clubs, and properties around the world.

Over the years, he used his charitable foundation for self-benefit, received preferential treatment by foreign governments, and relieved creditors of hundreds of millions of his debts.

The writer cited what David Fahrnhold told the American newspaper "The Post" last month, saying that Trump companies got from taxpayers at least $ 2.5 million for things like: $ 7,000 for dinner, $ 6,000 for flowers, 17,000 a month for a country house, and up to 650 $ 1 a night for hotel rooms, $ 1,000 for drinks for White House employees and up to $ 3 for drinking water.
