Lara Trump says she thinks GOP voters would like to see RNC pay Donald Trump's legal fees
Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law said she thought the idea would get broad support among GOP voters who see his legal cases as political persecution.
Go for it. I'd love to see the RNC pay all of Trump's fees. Before a dime goes into marketing a single candidate, make sure this paragon of Americanism is protected. Nothing is more important than pouring money into this sinkhole.
I adamantly agree with this statemen. This is the best idea the RNC could ever have.
I'm in disagreement. I may be naive but I still believe the Republican Party needs to separate itself from Trump.
Sure, I'd love to see the Republican Party crumble; but because the people, independently and democratically, acknowledge its failure to govern and uphold American ideals.
By supporting the party's funding of Trump's legal fees, you're supporting the idea that his court cases are "political persecution". And I mean, aren't we talking about the party of Personal Responsibility?
I think the RNC should be putting money towards a viable alternative. The RNC should be joining the DNC in fighting the MAGA party. Shit, the DNC should be putting out money for a viable alternative right now too. The power and corruption these two committees hold undemocratic and destructive. Which brings me to my soapbox chant for Ranked Choice Voting.
I can't fix what's broken with the Republican party. But I'd be happy to quicken it's demise so that a more sensible conservative party might emerge. I'm not a Democrat by ideology - at least I don't agree with them in all cases, but it feel obligated to oppose the current Republican party at every level.
I like having choices at the ballot box and right now I feel I have none. Excise the tumor so that it can become healthy.
The cons always were MAGA. For as long as I can remember. Sure, they put a nice veneer on it that /mostly/ held, although the ugliness of things would shine through in the words/deeds of Nixon, Raygun, Bush the Lesser, etc. And never mind their unholy rhetoric on their hate radio and Faux.
The Republican Party is full of Republicans. That means they are maga and trying to somehow tease these unicorn "principled conservatives" who aren't primarily just motivated by racism and/or dreams of theocracy out from the con movement is going to be a fool's errand. They are probably 10% or less of the con movement, possibly less. The rest is all racism/white nationalists and/or xtian talibangelical types; i.e., "maga".
So you're saying we can separate the idiots from their money AND guarantee none of that money goes to GOP campaigning?
Sounds like a good deal to me.
Imagine if the justice system worked and he was declared an enemy of the state as attempting to steal the presidency should be a crime against the state.
Paying any legal fees would be considered giving aid to an enemy of the state. Aka, an act of treason
Even more of a reason for them to give him money, the more of them locked up the better.

You've understated how much the RNC will simply become a Trump-family slush fund. Otherwise I think you're spot on.
She's right, I definitely want to see the RNC piss it's money away on a massive loser.
But are you a GOP voter?
I'm voting for the destruction of the GOP, is that close enough?
This may be the one and only time I can say I whole heartedly agree with a trump. Milk the coffers baby, milk 'em dry!
I mean go ahead. Let Trump empty their coffers, so they can't run the next election either. Just sounds like Republicans screwing each other, so I'm all for it.
Well you know there is a way to find that out for sure, a vote of all members. And then we will see him tank not only himself, his children, all the businesses he has touched, But also the RNC!
No, please don't. I'm just a teary-eyed snowflake liberal and if they did this, it would just devastate me.
I'd like to see them do that too.
Please do that.
Drain the entire war chest.
Not a single dollar for ad buys anywhere in the country.
You know what happens next...
Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker were fucking pikers.
It always pissed me off that Tammy Faye got her image rehabilitated just because she became an ally for queer people. Don't get me wrong, queer people need as many allies as they can get, but what about everything else? I remember that fucker crying on camera about how terribly her poor, poor husband was being treated.
I mean you can watch the Nightline interview where she starts bawling about her husband's so-called mistreatment. It's on YouTube.
While it would be great to bleed the RNC dry, part of the problem is how much free publicity the media gives this guy.
In 2020, they gave him a ridiculous amount of free attention.
It doesn't matter. Minds were made up long ago on Trump himself, it's even literally a rematch.
Trump can drain the RNC dry, with any luck they lose Congress seats by being outspent.
Yeah, and she's an unemotional objective observer on the matter.
😂 😆
The only voters who don't want that are the GOP mega donors.
Everyone else seems to be on board, I'll even bring the shovels and protective gear. Chucking all that cash into the furnace is going to be hottttt.
Nothing but the most extreme grifting will suffice.
Problem with people like Trump is having all the nepo babies filling up the space where actually interesting people would have stories.
Imagine that every time there was a news story about any member of that family, that instead we got to see literally anything else?
It's not a legitimate org or party, doesn't matter who runs it, still needs to be dismantled and worst offenders held accountable.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
But she said she thought the idea would get broad support among GOP voters who see his legal cases as political persecution.
In addition to the millions he is spending on lawyers, Trump’s legal debts now top half a billion dollars.
That did not stop him last week from publicly calling to remove the RNC’s current leaders and suggest Lara Trump should serve as co-chair.
She told reporters on Wednesday that GOP voters will feel more trust in the RNC by having a Trump family member installed in leadership.
Those causes were electing Trump president in November, growing the Republican majority in the House with “patriots, America first candidates” and winning back control of the Senate, she said.
Lara Trump said if she is made co-chair of the RNC, her loyalty would be to her father-in-law, but she believed the organization would stick to its policy of staying neutral in primary contests, saying, “I don’t know why we would change course on that now.”
The original article contains 638 words, the summary contains 164 words. Saved 74%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Many Trump supporters want that.
Me too!
Enough with these fucking traitors. When will we do what must be done?
I think at least half of the GOP would like it if Lara Trump started using those DSLs to earn some extra cash.
