Alina Habba Makes Her Debut As Spox For MAGA, Inc., McConnell Tells GOPers Ask Trump For Money

You knew that Donald Trump was having problems with money. The FEC has reported that he’s spent more in the past several months, particularly on legal fees, than he’s taken in. Plus, there’s this very pesky business in New York State, where Trump’s former accountant is testifying about what went on in the Trump Organization, as if that’s anybody’s business. Sheesh. Don’t people know Trump’s above the law? Apparently not.

So, evidently, in order to counterbalance all that, there is a new financial shell game in Trump world. It’s called “MAGA, Inc.”

Alina Habba is now the official spokesperson. Watch both clips.

You’ve got the idea. MAGA, Inc. is just coming up gangbusters. MAGA, Inc. is a PAC which was formed one month ago. PBS:

NEW YORK (AP) — Top allies of former President Donald Trump are creating a new super PAC that’s expected to serve as the main vehicle for his midterm spending and could become a key part of his campaign infrastructure should he move forward with a 2024 White House run.

The political action committee, called MAGA Inc., will supersede Trump’s existing super PAC, Politico first reported. Paperwork for the new committee was filed Friday morning with the Federal Election Commission. […]

“President Trump is committed to saving America, and Make America Great Again, Inc. will ensure that is achieved at the ballot box in November and beyond,” said Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich, who will serve as the group’s executive director. […]

Until now, Trump’s Save America leadership PAC, which must abide by far stricter fundraising and spending limits and has come under its own scrutiny, has served as his chief political vehicle. Super PACs can raise unlimited money and spend it freely but are barred from coordinating directly with campaigns.

Trump officials declined to say how much the notoriously thrifty former president intends to spend on his midterm efforts or how much he might try to transfer from his Save America PAC, which ended August with more than $90 million. The Associated Press previously reported that aides had been discussing the possibility of moving at least some of that money to a new or repurposed super PAC, though campaign finance experts are mixed on the legality of such a move.

While Trump has been a prolific fundraiser since leaving office, vacuuming up small-dollar donations, his existing super PAC — Make America Great Again, Again! — has not been a major midterm player. […]

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, in particular, has urged candidates with Trump’s support to ask him to open his wallet. In the meantime, candidates, including some who presented themselves as McConnell antagonists during their primaries, have had to grovel to him and the Senate Leadership Fund, the super PAC he controls, which had $100 million in reserve at the end of June.

Let’s see who Trump actually supports financially. This could become a new drinking game, in the last two weeks of the campaign. My guess would be that he’ll see who is ahead in the polls, decide to verbally endorse that person and not give anybody a dime — and then take full credit for any Republican who actually wins a race.
