Trump Rewarding Loyalists On Impeachment With Reelection Help

President Donald Trump is tapping into his vast fundraising machinery and resources to reward his loyal acolytes who have stood by him on impeachment.

According to Politico, Trump has been naming his loyal foot soldiers in email blasts to supporters, asking for contributions. He’s also hosting fundraising events, like an upcoming one for Sen. David Perdue (R-GA).

Less pliant senators, like Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), have been omitted from the cash hauls.

Trump has reportedly already accumulated more than $300 million this year.

    Of course, he isn’t really trying to help anyone other than himself with such efforts. It all makes him feel powerful, and he loves the rallies.

    Edit: I suppose it might also be noted that one can only play so much golf, and Fox and Friends is only on once a day.

  2. Hopefully, in the next few months they´ll be enough stuff coming out that a few of his ¨loyalists¨ don´t want him showing up in their districts/states.

    That photo: Man, that guy does have tiny hands. :wink:

    “Rewards” with “help”. I think most of the non-loyalists would prefer to keep His Dotardness at arm’s length.

  4. Somehow, “rewards for help” sounds remarkably like “quid pro quo”.

    The best way he could help is by stayng a thousand miles away, as the reception he got at the World Series showed.
