As if on cue, here comes another billionaire group by well-established political control agents in yet another multimillion effort to block President Trump. This time it’s Koch and his Americans for Prosperity network.
The Koch groups are planning to spend $70 million in their effort to eliminate the support of Donald Trump in 2024.
However, what will be interesting will be to watch how the downstream media networks attack Trump in order to get a piece of the spending allotment. That’s where knowing where the Koch money flows comes in handy.
First the article:
(New York Times) – The political network established by the conservative industrialists Charles and David Koch has raised more than $70 million for political races as it looks to help Republicans move past Donald J. Trump, according to an official with the group.
With some of this large sum to start, the network, Americans for Prosperity Action, plans to throw its weight into the G.O.P. presidential nominating contest for the first time in its nearly 20-year history. The network spent nearly $500 million supporting Republican candidates and conservative policies in the 2020 election cycle alone.
Two groups closely affiliated with Charles Koch contributed $50 million of the more than $70 million that has been raised. Mr. Koch is a major shareholder in Koch Industries, which contributed $25 million to Americans for Prosperity Action, according to a preliminary draft of Federal Election Commission filings. Another $25 million was donated by Stand Together, a nonprofit he founded.
The Koch network’s goal in the 2024 presidential primaries, which has been described only indirectly in written internal communications, is to stop Mr. Trump from winning the Republican nomination. In February, a top political official in the network, Emily Seidel, wrote a memo to donors and activists saying it was time to “have a president in 2025 who represents a new chapter.” (read more)
Truthfully, this is all so brutally transparent it is becoming farcical. Who is inside the Koch network [SOURCE]
So, we are going to see all the Never Trump media orgs like Fox News, The Daily Wire, etc. etc. lining up to take the Koch money in order to make some cash with their ideological alignment.
This Koch Industries $70 million expenditure, exclusively to target Donald Trump, is on top of the $200+ million being spent by Ron DeSantis’s Never Back Down SuperPAC group. Now people are starting to get the scale of the “trillions at stake” aspect.
Recapping all of the aligned enterprises against President Trump we find: the entire Wall Street network of hedge funds and billionaires like Ken Griffin, the entire multinational corporate alignment represented by the Sea Island confab, the billionaires and industrialists who need globalism for profit, the lobbyist groups like the Chamber of Commerce and Club for Growth and the Republican Governors Association who receive funding from those groups. Then we can add the social media influencer community, Elon Musk, the network of allied conservative Never Trump punditry and top it off with the RNC as the cherry on the cake.
Yes, this opposition group represents almost the entirety of the Big Club and every control mechanism- all of it aligned against one guy, one man, who is an existential threat to their influence and affluence…. AND this is only from the Republican side of the UniParty equation. Add the entire Intelligence Apparatus into this equation, and a majority of Republicans in both chambers of Congress, and the scale of opposition takes even more context.
But wait, there’s more…
This doesn’t even include the weaponized use of the judicial branch, the NYC Alvin Bragg effort, the Fulton County GA effort and the Special Counsel Jack Smith effort. All of this… ALL OF THIS is against ONE GUY.
Think about what that reality represents when you consider the scale of corruption that infects the body politic.
And yet, stunningly, remarkably and perhaps even divinely protected, President Donald John Trump is still winning against all of this opposition.
Why and how can this be possible? Because Trump has something none of this can defeat – he has the support of a massive number of Americans who are taking a stand with President Trump as our gloriously imperfect vessel to destroy it all.
It is the most remarkable moment in history as one man stands the gap and fearlessly faces down the combined effort of decades of political corruption. It truly is inspiring.
Last point, knowing that South Dakota governor Kristi Noem is a fully networked Koch person, and knowing that Americans for Prosperity was going to spend $70 million to target Trump, I find it remarkable that Noem is making statements like this:
“President Trump is in the race and right now I don’t see a path for victory with anybody else with him in the race and the situation as it sits today,” she told South Dakota radio station KWAT.” (source)
It looks to me like Koch is holding back Kristi Noem as an insurance policy, just in case they cannot destroy Trump and he ends up victorious against them. In this scenario, perhaps they are even positioning Noem to play the role of Pence in a second Trump administration. We need to watch this angle carefully…

TRUTH SHAL PREVAIL
Poll: Ron DeSantis trails Donald Trump by 50 points with younger GOP voters
https://floridapolitics.com/archives/621087-poll-ron-desantis-trails-donald-trump-by-50-points-with-younger-gop-voters/
Brainwashed by MSM = Mouth of Sauron Media
The more the US government and outside interests pile on Trump, the stronger my support for the “Donald ” grows.
Amen.
Some one should remind this loser Paul Ryan that he is a bigger loser than President Trump because him and slimy Mitt Romney lost a win able election and both of them threw that election to Obama and Biden and because of that it makes them lower than dirt and I pray for the good lord
to some how step in and stop these dang people, The Koch brothers have always been just losers with money, nothing more.
and I just have one word to say to the RNC You and many republicans are not meeting your money needs and thats because we have stopped helping you and unless you step up and support President Trump You will lose more of Our support. One guy that I think has dropped through the realms of hell is McCarthy I hope he rots from the inside out .
As it turns out Mittens Romney would have been just as bad as Barrack Obama.
Valid comment about the RNC clique. I will not donate to them until they have a new Chairperson.
People like Paul Ryan and Kristie Noem should have their stripes stripped !! What a bunch of turncoats.
Let them spend their money. Infect the air waves with your hate and vitriol. Only the weak will listen.
Message trumps Money every time. Our candidate is still President Trump. His flag proudly waves out front under the Star Spangled Banner.
Restore America to her former glory. MAGA!
AS long as it is THEIR money, I don’t care. However, all the donations requests that I receive are from “winred”, which I believe is controlled by the “RNC”. Will PRESIDENT TRUMP get his share of the donations???
The swamp/uniparty puts money & power above principle; the voting public supports the reverse.
The CTH had a great article about the Dims versus the eGOPs. The following article is spot on.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/06/22/everyone-is-going-to-think-im-nuts-but-im-not-nuts/#more-248039
These people are fools! Complete and utter fools! Only Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
I’m not voting for a Saint when I enter the booth. I want someone who loves this country enough to give up his $$$$ and time, both of which PDJT has done He’s also sacrificed his families name as the corrupt cabal establishment, including R’s, have knived him in the back every chance they’ve had. Thanks McCain, McCarthy, Ryan, McConnell on & on.
These are not the old days of politics where money was the final word on who wins elections, and the media is the voice that turns candidates into winners.
May I remind you that Donald Trump beat Hilary Clinton spending a fraction of the money that Clinton spent and with the national media snapping at his heals every step of the way. So, pray tell what is Koch going to do now to change the Paradyme that was not done in 2016.
All of the stops have been pulled out to stop Trump from being president because he has promised to drain a swamp that nearly 100% of the politicians in Washington are wading in and enriching themselves from. And that ladies and gentlemen is why the majority of the American people support Donald Trump for President.
The folly of their efforts is that a very high percentage of the 76 million citizens who voted for President Trump in 2016 and in 2020 will not vote for another GOP nominee.
I certainly won’t.
They can throw a billion dollars at RDS and it’s little more than putting lipstick on a pig.
One man truly does stand in the breach against communist incursions into our electorate, and the GOP is determined to destroy him.
I do believe you about Kristi but it breaks my heart.
And the thought of her being the female Pence UGH UGH UGH Please no!
The following is from my sister. She worked for Americans For Prosperity. After several years she was fired- we think because she was too conservative.
“Please do not underestimate the impact AFP can have on elections, especially the primary elections. They have the capability to make millions of calls into each state they have a chapter -as well as an army of door to door canvassers. “
”We can also expect them to partner with ANY organization that wants to see Trump defeated. If your state does not have the capability to challenge their efforts, I hope you get organized now. “
” if you need convincing, please refer to their efforts in the 2016 Senate races. AFP currently has chapters in 35 states and a proven record of success.
Remember Charles Koch is a globalist. His long term plan is NOT to make America Great Again but to make the world more productive.”
Please don’t pay attention to the polls. Plan a strategy to fight back in your community /state. God Bless You All.”
The whole world could go against Trump, but if the Lord’s will is to allow Trump a (third) win, NOTHING can stop Him.
Let them waste $70 or $700 million dollars – we’re not budging.
Trump will ALWAYS be my choice, no matter what.
