WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee have signed a joint fundraising agreement that will allow donors to write checks of up to $449,400.
The agreement, announced late Tuesday night, will allow the Trump campaign to raise cash that the national party can spend on both his campaign and other Republican efforts.
The agreement established two committees: The Trump Make America Great Again Committee, between the RNC and the Trumpcampaign, and Trump Victory, which includes the campaign, the RNC and a list of state GOP parties, including Arkansas, Connecticut, Louisiana, New York and Virginia.
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement that the money will go toward expanding ground, data and digital operations to elect Republicans “up and down the ballot.”

Same thing Hillary is doing, so it’s obviously fine, right?
And for your $449,400 you get Donald Trump…
Of course Trump and the RNC will dutifully divulge the names of contributors, in real time, so that Trump’s supporters are assured he’s not beholden to cash cows for returning the favor when President. You know, since he’s forsaken his pledge to be self-funded to better avoid such quid pro quo entanglements.
I don’t know what just happened but now we can have elephants painted by Banksy in our circus. Yippee. I’d be watching my back, too.

I don’t get it…isn’t Adelson’s money enough for the billionaire?
