  1. When was the last Federal tax increase? 1990 seems like the last time I remember.

    So 34 years ago.

    Okay Trump you keep doing what we’ve been doing for 34 years. Hard promise to keep there. Idiot.

  2. Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. – Francis M. Wilhoit

    The GQP is a billionaires boys club. And you ain’t in it.

  3. Pity. maga lunatics will never realize Trump represents only billionaires and has no interest in assisting those lost and deluded in the maga cult.

  4. No kidding … this has always been the GOP economic platform.

  6. Raises 50 million to pay legal fees* they should fix that title.

  7. Considering billionaires don’t have their money the in US, that will mean an increase in taxes

  10. I bet most of that money came from 1 or 2 people just to “double” Biden’s number. But guess what Biden’s event was pretty epic, I’d pay to be part of it. You’d have to pay me at least 2% of that money to attend this one.

  11. He lies to whatever group he is talking to why is this news?

  12. He is so desperate to please whoever he is talking to that he doesn’t care what he says, whether it’s consistent, or whether it will even help. The brain rot is just about done.

  13. You want to get rid of medicare and social security?

    …Because this is how you do it.

  14. If you want to live in and earn big bucks pay your damn taxes. Wanna belong to a country club you pay your dues . . .

  15. Trump’s base of temporarily embarrassed billionaires will love this!

  17. That’s what he does, save the billionaires shit load of money and skins his base from anything like $59.99 bibles to $99 NFTs to $400 gold sneakers etc. A real fricken scum bag

  19. I would hold off on saying he raised $50 million until you see the receipts.

  20. All of those people at that gala are democracy hating, insurrection-supporting fascists. What the fuck is wrong with people? Every article involving this shit heel needs to mention his role in January 6. The media is failing.

  23. How much more do these ghouls want? They already have their palaces, private planes and yachts. They are exactly like the dragons of myth, but unlike those dragons no one is rising up to stop them. 

  25. Wasn’t that his only real piece of legislation last time? Tax cuts for the rich?

  26. And for that reason alone (he has a whole laundry list of why but this one alone is enough) why he should never touch the White House again.

    Drives me nuts that these assholes always want to cut taxes for the highest then wonder not only why the debt is so high but also why the economy is down because people aren’t buying anything because they literally can’t afford it because we are footing the bill left behind by the rich assholes.

  28. It didnt raise $50 million . The media just reported as fact what Trumps lying asd campaign told them

    Edit: MILLION. I knew what it was. Trumps camp said $50 million because Obama/Bidens in NYC raised $25 million. We will see when it is filed with the FEC but it wont be $50 million

  30. In other words, he is not working for the common middle or lower class person.

  31. Wait, where are all those repubs that were screaming about Biden “buying votes” when he offered student loan relief? 

  32. I want to make sure the fuckers that put money over democracy are listed again….

    1. sugar magnate José “Pepe” Fanjul Sr

    2. oil baron Harold Hamm

    3. Johnson & Johnson heir Woody Johnson

    Anybody find a list of who else was there?

  33. $50.5M / 117 people is $430,000 average raise per person. How is any of this legal? $430,000 is nothing for a billionaire but scary how it can buy a huge discount on their future tax bills. Why aren’t more people tired of America being for sale?

  34. When they want to get assurances that their taxes won’t rise, all of the sudden, billionaires become very generous.

  36. And people wonder why the MSM keeps this guy relevant?

  38. Well, he’s not lying but again, he’s also looking for cash any way he can. His resources are getting thin because donors have smart people working for them that know Trump’s ROE has been exposed to the electorate as fraud. Donors are looking to cut bait.

  39. And there it is. Telling the rich that he is in fact fleecing his dipshit followers.

  40. I’d bet a lot of money on the fact we’ll learn in a few months that there was never close to 50M$ raised. Trump just wanted to claim 2X Biden’s number

  41. I want biden to come from and event and just say he raised 100 million because that’s exactly what trump did. He was jealous of the 26 million and doubled it 😂

  42. Trump doing his best to recreate the French Revolution
