Question on donations to President Trump only?

Posted on 05/21/2017 1:51:46 PM PDT by MRadtke

Earlier this afternoon I was called by a republican fundraiser asking for more money. I told him that I have no money to support republicans that are not vocal in their support for our President, or in the case of Senator McCain actively opposing him. It was a polite conversation both ways but I did make my point clear.

What I want to know is if there is any way to make a donation to President Trump without the RNC in general using it to help politicians afraid to openly support Donald Trump's agenda?

Thanks in advance for any information!

Yes.

Send it to me.

Seriously, check any replies you get to be sure you are not getting scammed. I would expect quite a few from RNC/GOPe shills.

The RNC has sent me several requests for money stating “we need to help Trump”. IMO the RNC and Republicans aren't helping Trump and are aligning themselves with the Democrats. The most recent example was when McCain, Graham and Collins voted with the Democrats. Until these begin to help Trump I will continually say “nada” to the RNC.

Don't send ANYTHING to the RNC, even if it's an appeal headed by Trump or Pence. The RNC will use that money to bring down true conservatives.

Best to send campaign contributions to candidates you support.

Good for you, but make sure they know why so your refusal is not construed as not support for Trump.

I got his office address during the campaign and sent money to it to his personal attention.

I have no idea what went with the money. There may be some requirement from the RNC that such contributions be turned over to them. I have no idea.

This is the address I used:

Mr. Donald Trump
The Trump Organization 
725 Fifth Avenue
New York, NY 10022 

I hope someone can verify it.

donaldjtrump.com goes to Trump. Be careful of some of the others that go 75% Trump and 25% RNC.

This might be of help - There is a link to contribute.
Being of the same mind frame - there are few in the RNC we care to deal with other than DJT, himself. Don’t trust ‘em; don’t believe them...period.

DJT = MAGA

The RNC can only see Trump’s coattails as ‘their’ piggybank. The first chance they get they’ll cut his throat and do him worse than Caesar at the foot of Pompey’s statue (that lead to a vicious civil war).

I donated yesterday at the official donaldjtrump.com website. The emails you receive often are from paid solicitors who skim off 90% of the donation. Better to go direct. I mainly gave to show support to a beleaguered president.

I keep receiving RNC notices to “please give” emails and home mailings; I wrote a letter instead of just throwing it in recycling to state: the RNC noes NOT support Pres. Trump, so why do they have “support Trump/Pence Team”? I will give only to Pres. Trump until the anti-Trump republicans get on board with the president, until then “oh well!”
Yes this site gives the cash to Pres. Trump not RNC: https://www.donaldjtrump.com";

Just remember that if those candidates are incumbant Republican Senators or Congressmen, they are assessed "donations" to their respective (Sen or House) Republican Re-election Committees. This means that no matter how much you may like Sen/Rep XYZ, money you donate to him could well end up helping McNut, Linda, etc.

To paraphrase President Trump.....The whole damned thing is rigged!

Mygosh, thanks for the information. It seems like it’s IMPOSSIBLE to give to candidates of our choice, unless they aren’t members of a political party.
