If you understand the war inside the machine {GO DEEP} then this move by President Trump will make a lot more sense.
Going all the way back to 2016, the #1 value to the RNC from the candidacy of Donald Trump has always been the supporter data, the donor files and data of the people who support Donald Trump. This data floored Reince Priebus in 2016, because the RNC had never before seen such a scale of grassroots donor support in the history of the organization.
The RNC administrative leadership were floored when the data-sharing requirement forced Trump’s team to turn over the data right before the GOP convention. It was so far beyond the scale of what they had ever seen before, they could not believe it. Millions and millions of new first-time names. The core of middle-class America.
Data are people. MAGA people. Lots of them. More than the RNC has ever known.
Right now, the corporate club known as the RNC is as much the enemy as the Biden DOJ. Readers here know exactly what I am talking about, and there is no need to rehash all the facets and examples. The battle inside the RNC is between the billionaire Wall Street club who controls it, and the MAGA voting base who operate within it.
President Trump snubbing the RNC debate in Wisconsin is a direct shot against the RNC as a private corporation. An RNC club that is covertly in alignment with the DNC, another private corporation funded by the same Wall Street billionaires. The RNC is now going to justify the next attacks against Trump by pointing out his non-compliance with the debate.
The RNC has been covertly hostile, but you will now see them become openly hostile. President Trump knows this, and his next move is brilliant. President Trump has created an “official seal of approval” which must accompany any campaign endorsement, donor request or ancillary aspect implying Trump support. This is directly done to counteract the ability of the RNC to exploit Trump’s affiliation and essentially hostage status.
In essence, the RNC cannot exploit the MAGA brand for RNC/MAGA endorsement, and or use the donor data files, without the Trump “seal of approval.” The data becomes worthless, because without the Trump seal any request is ignored. Additionally, without the seal any RNC candidate is ignored. This creates leverage. This is how the insurgency forces the compliance of the GOPe. At least that appears to be the goal from Donald Trump.
If the RNC, or any vendor or candidate they have sold the files to, including any candidate who runs but does not align with Trump, attempts to exploit the files without the Trump seal of approval, the fracture between Trump and the RNC becomes openly visible.
It is not coincidental this ‘Seal of Approval’ is announced after the debate decision was made public.
Donald J Trump – Bedminster, NJ — President Donald J. Trump will grant the right to use his “Seal of Approval” to an exclusive group of candidates and committees that the President endorses or otherwise supports. The purpose of the Seal is to help President Trump’s donors distinguish between authorized uses of his name and likeness, and unauthorized uses including oftentimes outright scams. It is intended to protect the President’s donors and supporters from illegitimate organizations falsely claiming some affiliation with President Trump and his campaign.
President Trump’s endorsement power is the most powerful force in American politics. His influence is election defining. When President Trump posts an endorsement on Truth Social, or a candidate onstage before tens of thousands of voters, America First patriots rally behind President Trump’s choice and deliver a decisive victory.
Unfortunately, some candidates, PACs and their fundraising vendors have drained millions of dollars from President Trump’s donors by falsely claiming that they support President Trump, that the President supports them, and that funds received in response to the solicitations will support, help, or defend President Trump. To fight this scam, President Trump’s endorsement will now include the right to use his name and likeness in fundraising solicitations and other campaign communications, as signified by this Seal. The Seal will be a powerful signal to President Trump’s loyal donors that the sender is on Team Trump and is not a scammer.
Candidates and committees authorized to use the Seal shall be permitted, and indeed encouraged, to use the Seal in connection with their activities on social media, in paid advertising, and on merchandise.
This Seal is revocable, non-exclusive license, and the digital art file containing the Seal is non-transferable. Any entity that mimics or unlawfully uses the Seal without explicit approval from a representative of President Trump’s campaign may face legal action.
Before responding to a fundraising solicitation from a candidate or committee, President Trump’s donors should visit DonaldJTrump.com/SealOfApproval to review an up-to-date list of candidates and committees the President has endorsed or supports. Candidates and committees that wish to be a part of Official Team Trump and receive the right to use the Seal should visit DonaldJTrump.com/SealOfApproval to apply.
By granting a candidate or committee the right to use this seal, President Trump does not solicit contributions for or on behalf of such candidate or committee. Additionally, the seal does not indicate or imply that President Trump or Donald J. Trump for President 2024, Inc. has reviewed or approved any fundraising solicitation or other communication in connection with the seal appears. Indeed, it has not done so and will not do so. (link)
There’s a new sheriff in town…
Trump making it clear he is bigger than the RNC. Love these moves.
So right. The GOP is nothing without Trump and MAGA. The dirty rotten scoundrels selling DeSantis, Youngkin, and the “single digit midgets” will be done after this cycle.
“Ankle biters” is my preference.. 😁
Hopefully to include Rubio, etc.
And at the moderators desk, we see the bloated cabbage patch doll and his gap toothed sidekick becoming big mad, knowing DJT just made their well laid plans for the ambush mute. Perfect!
Great by president Trump,No matter wha will stand and voting for Trump 2024,
Trump can only save our country and turning around America MAGA,
God only can save our country. PDJT is His tool!
You are correct, but I wish Trump would acknowledge that fact and state it often. Imagine if he were to use Jeremiah 18:8-10 or 2 Chronicles 7:14 as a stated plank in his platform! Awesome.
That is so nice but really we ought to stop judging a person’s walk with God. You are actually diminishing whatever relationship Trump with God by criticizing him because he is not as public as you are.
Not so! I did not question Trump’s walk with God, merely said that he should encourage the nation’s walk with God by letting it know that God blesses those who bless Him. Now that I think about it further, a little humility would probably serve Trump well in every aspect. Though I love him and think he is the ONLY hope for the nation I love and served, he talks about himself too much.
He cannot depend on the lapdog media to ”talk about him”, so unfortunately he has to take on that task. By talking about himself, we are getting information directly from ”the horse’s mouth” as the quote goes.
Is So! Let Trump be Trump!
God has his own Seal of Approval. And people that falsely us his name, will face much more than just a legal action. You might say, “They’ll have the devil to pay.”
Prov. 20-11 Even a child is KNOWN by his ACTIONS…We are instructed in the New Testament on how to deal with believers who act wrongly. Read it.
God only helps those who help themselves.
Chapter and verse?
Wrong – not in the Bible. God instead has instructed us to TRUST in Him, not ourselves, and He honors those that do.
NOT in Scripture
Can see these hanging around every ones neck at the rallies.
Move over Al (not so) Sharpton.
A hat and a medallion what great marketing.
He’s got 80,000,000+ sympathetic “Just another Unindicted Co-Conspirator™” supporters and that needs to be on a shirt to go with it.
Far more than 80 million.
That highly questionable total was BEFORE Americans experienced 2 1/2 years of the worst Presidency in history.
D’s have lost ground in ALL the Demographics they used to OWN, SIGNIFICANT losses, SINCE 2020.
5-6 State elected public officials, including ones representing “very blue” districts, have publically switched parties since 2020, saying they can no longer be a D.
As one lady said, “this isn’t about POLITICS, its about MORALITY.”
I haven’t given a dime to the RNC or any of their other corrupt fund raising pacs since 2013.
I wish the idiots, like friends of mine, and millions of others will stop giving to these pacs and the RNC and send their donations directly to the candidates of their choice. I have stopped for four or five years now and will never give another dime to one of them.
From here on out only Give to those Federal and State candidates that have made the effort to get the certified Trump MAGA Seal of Approval. Without this Seal the Federal and State GOPe Rino oriented system candidates will lose their funding. It should be No problem for these people to commit to MAGA Nationalist policy and give up Globalist policy. The seal will indicate which GOP camp that they belong too.
Most go through Winred, the lying, grifting, RINO-enriching fundraising platform.
DON’T USE WINRED, AT ALL. Use http://www.Right.us. P. Trump isn’t on there yet, but many, many MAGA candidates are.
Donald,
we need one more thing, all “Trumpers” need to have a lapel pin to proudly and publicly display support for Donald J Trump, and let the world know of their love and support for his presidency.
Yes, it’s time to become guerilla warriors, wise as serpents, but harmless as doves. Don’t be a coward, but don’t become a target.
What’s up with black-hatted heroes (not saying Trump is…but). Traditionally they wore white hats.
“Everything is April fool’s day now, everything is the opposite of what it should be.”
— Donald J. Trump April 28, 2023
Black is a power color, George. It’s often worn by executives who want to display strength during board meetings, etc. I would always choose a black dress or business suit when I wanted to appear “menacing” or in control in a meeting that I knew was going to be contentious.
Patricia,
I know people try to play these mind games with clothing, but what happens when they run into persons for whom this means exactly nothing?
A lot of it subliminal. Black IS a power color.
I agree Patricia, power cloths make a statement
George, you need to watch “Open Range”.
We have the right to defend our property and our lives!!
There are the black hats & the white hats. There’s of course bluehat, asshat & the man with the yellow hat.
That’s a great move and I endorse it. many people and organizations have made a lot off scamming Trump’s supporters, and it needs to stop. The various RNC organizations like the NRCC and the NRSC are the worst. They use Trump supporters’ money to wage a shadow war against him and his supporters. Donald Trump Is the ‘right kind of candidate’.
“shadow war”
“During the course of my administration [as President], and in order to disturb it, the artillery of the press has been leveled against us, charged with whatsoever its licentiousness could devise or dare… The offenders have been left to find their punishment in the public indignation.”
–Thomas Jefferson: 2nd Inaugural Address, 1805
“I don’t blame people. I mean, can you imagine, it’s been an 8 year barrage every day every minute, non-stop… and if they’re still consuming that kind of garbage, garbage comes in and that’s what ends up stuck in your brain.”

I went to the donaldjtrump.com/sealofapproval because I want to donate to President Trump’s campaign. At the bottom of the page is the Winred symbol. Isn’t Winred RNC? I DO NOT want my money going to Winred. How do we donate to President Trump exclusively??
EXCELLENT QUESTION! Ihave written many times about the “winred” and “RNC” connection, and who controls the money. I would like an answer from the official TRUMP campaign about where to donate!
Thanks for pointing that out. We need to find clarification on that!
You must not be a regular reader at the Treehouse as this has been address many dozens of times.
Welcome and see my reply to Karen above.
my reply to Karen posted below
It may have been posted already, but I too would like to accurately know where to donate exclusively to President Trump. With all the pop up ads i need to ‘X out ‘ while maneuvering around CTH while reading on phone, at least have an official donor pop up. Haha
I went onto DJT website and donated there.
To donate exclusively to the campaign, go to DonaldJTrump.com and click on the contribute link and follow the instructions. Two options for donating (1) donate by credit card (2) donate by check
Winred is a credit card processor, that’s it. The RNC is not getting your donation.
All of your donation goes to the campaign, less a small credit card processing fee,standard for the industry . You can allocate 100% to go to the campaign and 0% to the PAC or customize the allocation any way your want, your choice.
WinRed also collects the info required for Candidate Committee Treasurers to submit in their FEC (Federal election) or state equivalent reports.
That 4% commission goes to PRIVATE OWNERS OF WINRED, ALL RINOS.
Just think of the $200M the RNC & other affiliated entities made on that StS $$$ alone, not to mention all the downballot candidates that use it as a processor.
Just the earnings on that $200M was $8 million in their PRIVATE pockets. At least ActBlue had the decency to make it a non-profit. No such luck with RINOs.
Send P. Trump a check, and get him to get off Winred, or add a second processor like Revv or Anedot. I REFUSE TO USE WR FOR ANYTHING, EVER.
Karen, see my reply to you down the page a bit. It should answer your question.
sunrei,
Thank you for doing the research, including calling and talking to people in order to get the answers, and for the Patience to consistently answer the same question, over and over and over.
Given how vital fund raising is to Politics, I can’t help but suspect our “enemies” of starting and nurturing this whole “don’t donate thru winred” bullshirt, as a way to cut into PDJT’s fundraising.
For the record, I regularly donate to PDJT’s campaign, to KL’s legal fund and to other select candidates, using Winred.
By carefully going over the final screen, before hitting “donate now” to insure I am not accidentally clicking on “recurring donation” I have no problem, the donations go thru, and I have not recieved ANY solicitations by mail, email, text or phone call, for $ from the RNC.
Much to my disappointment, as I would love to get some, just for the pleasure of telling them to SHOVE it, lol.
Again, thank you sunrei, for your continueing patience in countering this false narrative b.s. about donating thru winred!
I, too, love receiving solicitations from the RNC for the same reason. I love telling them off.
Hello Dutchman, I can’t remember the last time I got a call from the alphabet republican GOPe party. I think it’s because when they call they go into all of the talking points of bashing the left’s policies, I guess to comfort me by faking their outrage to get me to send them money. Anyway the last few times they did call when it came time for me to give them an answer I sounded off to them about them never backing our President Trump EVER! And along the way a few choice curse words about them and they ended up hanging up. That was fun!
I donated $47 dollars today at donaldjtrump.com
If you want President Trump to get the ENTIRE $47 then just agree to pay the processing fee yourself which is what I did. I think the fee was around $1.80.
And that fee goes to Winred and the private RINO owners who own it.
Dutchman, Winred was the one that decided to make the default for all donations, in tiny print, a RECURRING DONATION.
It stole millions of small donors’ monies from them by making all donations “recurring”, unless you “opt out”. This had never been done before, and was ILLEGAL. SO ILLEGAL that the small donors sued Winred, and won a judgment of around $22M in court.
Furthermore, when Huffpost, Slate, et al got hold of it, the blamed THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN for the theft, when it was ONLY WINRED. But it tarred P. Trump, which I’m sure was a secondary motive.
I REFUSE to give those grifters even $1. I’d rather write a check.
Thank you! I was suspicious. I mistakenly thought Winred funneled money only to the RNC. Still suspicious. I’ll research another way to donate.
My wife ran for state senate in 2022 as an R. She had WinRed on her web site as there is no other way a small campaign can do online donations without a lot of work. RNC is not involved as some sort of “pass through”.
Look up http://www.right.us, a division of Anedot. Many many conservative candidates use it.
You can also donate by check if you prefer. Go to DonaldJTrump,com, click on the contribute link. Download the donation form and mail with your check to the address provided.
donaldjtrump.com
Donate.
WinRed is the CREDIT CARD PROCESSOR. They get the usual and customary FEE FOR PROCESSING THE CREDIT CARD. Period.
Winred is owned by a private cabal of RINOs, and they pull in millions every year, into their pockets. They are criminals who have thug-threatened candidates with lack of party funds unless the candidate uses WR EXCLUSIVELY.
They ripped off small donors by making the default donation a RECURRING ONE. They had to pay out $22M to donors in refunds, after a court decision.
They are vile. Not one penny to them.
He needs to GET OFF Winred. NOW!
I cannot even tell you what I told the RNC when they called and asked for money. All I know is that they stopped calling.
I traced out my hand with a prominent middle finger and sent the mail solicitation back to them with Never RNC.
Same here! Lucky for me my wife didn’t hear me go off on them. She doesn’t approve of my former construction worker language. LOL
The RNC is terrible here in AZ. Republicans not RINOs in our circle of PCs all make donations to our local candidates directly and not to the RNC and that includes President Trump.
The MAGA infiltration in Vital Maracopa County has risen to the County committee level, and much progress has been made in other States, as well.
Need both a top-down (PDJT) AND a vital bottom up (Precinct Captain, to District, County and eventually State Executive Committee level PURGE of the RINOS.
From here on out only Give to those Federal and State candidates that have made the effort to get the certified Trump MAGA Seal of Approval. Without this Seal the Federal and State GOPe Rino oriented system candidates will lose their funding. It should be No problem for these people to commit to MAGA Nationalist policy and give up Globalist policy. The seal will indicate which GOP camp that they belong too.
Finally – a reliable way to separate the wheat from the chaff amongst the requests for donations.
We need true MAGA senators and representatives and of Course the best president since RR.
There is no reason to even mention the ‘republican’ donor unless it’s a reference to cannibalism.
Now all we need is for Trump to call for Kevin and Ronna McRomney to be removed. They are there to make sure Trump loses, everything and everyone else be damned.
Kevin, if you are referring to his position as Speaker, is voted into that position by the members of the House, so it is the R members of the House that can but won’t remove him.
As a member of Congress, it is his constituency.
As for Ronna, 3 representatives of the 50 R State parties, which ostensibly represent the R voters of their respective States, voted to give consistent loser Ronna a 5th term.
PDJT ‘endorses’ both, because he knew they were going to win, whether he endorsed them or not.
The House Rs don’t have anybody decent with which to replace Kevin. He knows that, so that’s why he plucks us at every turn.
Who will replace Kevin? We don’t have a lock on that in the House. Nobody seems to think “what next”?
Good for Trump! Excellent move!
Sorry….but obviously President Donald J. Trump IS the smartest man in the room! He out IQ’s even the so called I.C. appartus…and he is certainly outwitting the frickin dimwit GOP establishment. I have grown to seriously dislike the GOP…..close to using the word hate for what they have colluded to do and have been doing.
Let’s boycott the RNC/GOP…no campaign money to them from small donors at all…mzybe we can send them into a Bud Light woke moment since they have no frickin backbone to stand up against this…
Sounds like a great plan Dave!
Fantastic! I’ve added to my favorites, and just donated again! Trump steadfast 2024!
I do not watch Fox since the 2020 election and I am elated he has dissed the now liberal site and this phony debate. They had gotcha ?? all lined up for him and he outsmarted them Again!! . Good job president Trump. I will be watching your interview with Tucker. I hope you bash Biden on what he plans to do to damage our country, we need to know what is coming, we know what he did, but the muslim running the show has more commie plans coming if he is elected, yes it is him we all know it.
WinRed is DEAD! Suck on that McConnell!
This is awesome, a few weeks ago, I was asking how we can end the RNC and raise money a different way/ looks like VSGDJT came up with a work around 🤩
Forcing the RNC to “go OVERT, instead of Covert” is the KEY, for virtually every aspect of dealing with the RNC RINOS.
Its how, at State party level, MAGA ‘activists’ have been ‘tagging and bagging’ RINOS, and voting them out of their positions of authority in the State party.
“Still to come” once PDJT successfully wrests the nomination, will be the “VP CHOICE”, and the Party has long encouraged the public to THINK this is the CANDIDATES choice, whereas behind closed doors they have pressured the candidate to take THEIR choice.
Often, they urge a candidate to “heal the rift and unite the Party” …
I expect PSJT to ignore such B.S. and just publically announce HIS choice, forcing them to accept it, rather than OVERTLY refusing him and the MAGA base.
Goldwater, Reagan, and Trump 1, the RNC tried to prevent from getting the nomination by COVERT methods, but balked at doing it OVERTLY, anything like what the DNC did in 2008, …
Buchannan, Ron Paul are Candidates they blocked successfully, using Covert means.
While they will continue to fight, PDJT now has the POWER (US) to finally defeat the RNC leadership and wrest control of the Party from the donor class, and its been a long time coming.
He will also be able to use the power of his support, aka “the Bully pulpit” to deal with the R Congressional leadership in a much stronger way, in his next term.
Its gonna be very satisfying to watch him publically pimp slap the shiznit out of Mittens, Mitch/Thune, McCarthy, etc.
The Powers of the POTUS vary greatly with the occupant, because ultimately they are directly tied to his support; with the majority of Americans behind him, he can accomplish a phenominal amount; thing Reagan or FDR, for example.
This is gonna be fun to watch,…RETRIBUTION, indeed!
dutchman: “Still to come” once PDJT successfully wrests the nomination, will be the “VP CHOICE”, and the Party has long encouraged the public to THINK this is the CANDIDATES choice, whereas behind closed doors they have pressured the candidate to take THEIR choice.”
Personnel is policy. The choice for VP must be 100% America First. Which means that none of the current poser wanna-be candidates for the 2024 nomination would be a proper choice for the VP slot.
The obvious choice for VP — in my mind at least — is Kari Lake. She would be directly responsible for tackling a list of priority actions which mirror and expand upon those she would have adopted herself as Arizona governor had the 2022 election not been stolen from her. The action plan she would be following if elected as VP would become the primary talking point of her campaign appearances.
Arizona is a must win state for PDJT. Here is a selling point for voters in Arizona. If Kari Lake can’t do what needs to be done for Arizona as governor, because of the 2022 stolen election, she can do what needs to be done for that state in the role of Vice President of the United States. Possibly doing it even more effectively than if she had become governor.
As for thwarting the GOPe, it has been clear for a long time that a third party has no chance of winning the White House, if for no other reason than lack of trade mark recognition among most of the voting public.
People are policy. What is needed is a long march through the Republican Party institutions similar to what the left did with the universities, the corporations, and the press. At the end of that long march, GOP Establishment personnel and institutions will have been fully replaced by GOP America First personnel and institutions.
“what is needed is a long march through the Republican Party Institutions similar to what the left did with the Universities, the corporations and the press.”
EXACTLY, B.W.!
And that means INFILTRATION OF those R party institutions, starting at the bottom and working up.
THATS exactly what theprecinctstrategy is ALL ABOUT.
Also, there is, in every State a “Young Republicans” organisation, and a “teenage Republicans” organisation, as well as “Womans Republican” groups, hispanic and blacks, as well.
And these organisations DO play a vital role in Republican Party politics, especially at the State and local level.
Infiltrate, learn the rules, identify and “out” the RINOS, and advance MAGA to the leadership positions, …thats how its done.
Go in, understanding to the leadership, you are the enemy and leave your maga hat at home, and make sure you don’t have a trump bumper sticker on the car you arrive in.
Be circumspect, until you learn who’s who.
Discretely, get a copy of the by-laws, which covers election of officers.
This insurgency effort IS happening, in ALL 50 States, even Blue painted ones like Deleware.
In fact, some of the most active MAGA insurgencies are in the “Blueest” States, as the State R party leaderships are so blatantly playing for the other side.
Also, most states have a State Republican Assembly, good people. But they won’t need infiltration, as they’re mostly MAGA anyway. But there are a large contingent of wise old-timers in there who know how to subvert and challenge the Old Guard, and where their weaknesses are.
Can’t wait to see heads roll. Maybe even the Graybar Hotel will have tenants.
I absolutely cannot wait for the NeverTrumpers on the left and right to pile on this decision saying it proves Trump is what they’ve said all along, a narcissistic, megalomaniacal madman who thinks this is all about him. I love it! I didn’t really see, at least to the degree I now know to be true, that our true enemies are the Uniparty RINOs. If the Republicans were like the Democrats, the Democrats would have no chance. That’s why MAGA taking over the party is the only choice we have to win. And it is happening!!! Praise God for Donald Trump!
Long past time for everyone to realize that the RINO rat bastard Uniparty republicans want to defeat Trump and MAGA even more than the Uniparty democrats do. Their panic becomes more obvious each and every day.
I thought i was donating $50 to Trump and after I clicked send I realized it was some other organization and the money probably wouldn’t be supporting Trump. I like this idea.
This might be some good news.

This is a brilliant move to stop the RNC and the NRSC
from using Trump’s Name to collect money. The RNC sold contact information Data to new Republican Candidates. I have gotten
fundraising letters from every Republican candidate across the nation since 2016, and the only way these candidates could have gotten my contact information is by the RNC selling it to them.
I’m sure they won’t just use it anyway. After all, they are highly ethical, honest people.
Beautiful image, so authentic and representative of who President Trump is and all that he represents. Yes, we do have a new sheriff in town and it is wonderful!
i believe Tucker will be interviewing President Trump at the same time the RNC will be doing debates….lol who will win the audience?

That is disappointing for me and something I still do not understand. WinRed is the RNC omnibus collection suction device. I thought this move by Trump was a separation from the RNC.
WINRED IS THE CREDIT CARD PROCESSOR. THEY TAKE THEIR USUAL AND CUSTOMARY CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEE! THAT IS ALL!!
STOP TRYING TO DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM DONATING TO PDJT.
You seem to think you are my boss. I am actually retired and I do not need to take your orders. You could have worded your comment differently. Or not, whatever. But I do not understand, if Donald Trump was attempting a delineation between his MAGA movement and the RNC, why would he still use the RNC’s collection service? Do you know for a fact that donations handled by WinRed all go to where the donor intended?
Trump was the one who created WinRed as a platform for other Conservative candidates to raise political donations. So, of course, he would use the platform he created. Does the RNC get the processing fee? Yes, but somebody is going to get it.
You can always send him a snail mail check instead.
No, he did not create it. It was created by a few high-ranking RNC members, to capture those small donors. Do a little study on it. It will make you puke.
“Do you know for a fact that donations handled by WinRed all go to where the donor intended?” Here you go again.
Do the work yourself.
You could have simply ASKED A QUESTION ABOUT WHERE TO DONATE. You bothered to go to PDJT’s website but did not bother to look around at the “DONATE” tab which then would have let you know that WinRed is a credit card processor for PDJT.
Someone has to process credit cards.
You made donating to PDJT all suspicious and scary which results in some people being discouraged from trying.
BTW, I, too, am retired. Whatever that means.
Do you know for a fact that donations handled by WinRed all go to where the donor intended? —-cdor1
Yes, your donation reaches the campaign. All of it, less the usual small credit card processing fee. By law the campaign will receive your donation within 10 days.
Confirm receipt if desired by going to the FEC (Federal Election Commission) link below and entering your name or the campaign’s name. There may be a delay in your info appearing as the FEC data is updated quarterly. Note obviously you should also have confirmation via your credit card company or by your bank statement.
https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/individual-contributions/
Thank you, sunrei, for a clear response without snark and paranoia.
Initially,…SOMEBODY started promulgating this false narrative that Winred=RNC, and thatvthe RNC was somehow getting $ donors intended to go to PDJT.
The net effect of this false narrative, is that some won’t donate to PDJT, who otherwise would have.
Which would certainly serve the interests if the Anti-Trump crowd.
Our Fellow Treeper did thorough research, talking to both people at winred, and the PDJT Campaign, to insure this was NOT true, and has patiently, repeatedly posted numerous, long comments explaining all this, in detail.
And yet, we continue to get posts from commenters, repeating these false narratives about winred, which if unaddressed, EACH FRICKING TIME, only serve to further amplify these false narratives.
Hence, SOME of us are getting tired of constantly haveing to say, over and over, NO, its NOT TRUE!
If you READ here, on a regular basis, then you KNOW this.
Hence, anyone still repeating this lie, given the effect of repeating this lie serves the enemy, makes anyone amplifying the lie suspect.
Thanks Dutchman.
New readers seem to be more likely to ask where to go to donate.
The HOAX that Winred will send your donation to the RNC —-it has the appearance to me of a coordinated anti-Trump operation to suppress donations. The repetition over and over on the same thread strikes me as not being organic or genuine, but the opposite.
I could ignore, but often reply mainly for the benefit of people who might otherwise be misled.
Sorry, but this was an honest concern. I am not interested in donating to most of the Republican congresspeople so they can use my money to stab Trump in the back, as many did during his Presidency. So, being as Trump’s campaign is funded by millions of small donations, I would humbly suggest that you and your fellow Treepers be prepared to answer that question as many times as it is asked, without anger, accusation, and paranoia. It is not an unreasonable question, as every single Republican politician asking for money directs their supporters to WinRed to donate.
Use Right.US to donate to MAGA candidates and orgs like Moms for Liberty. It’s an Anedot company.
P. Trump isn’t on there yet, but I’m hoping.
I have never said it, or believed it, that the RNC took the actual donated funds. But I did extensive research into its founding, AND what mechanisms were there before, like Give.GOP, Revv, and Right.US, and found that after the likely 1.5% bank fee, the balance of the commission and the per-transaction fee goe to RINO insiders.
As SD has said, the RNC never cared about small donors before, even when the DNC formed ActBlue in 2004, as a small-donor platform, AND as a non-profit. The RNC never cared about us, thy want their “whales”.
THEN Reincey-Boy saw the small donor list, blew his mind. And the greedy RNC wanted part of that money, too, and figured that there were plenty of down-ballot candidates on whom they could prey, also. Lots of moola.
They didn’t intro WR as a party-approved donation avenue, as one of several that a donor could use.
No, They thug-threatened all GOP candidates to change their donation contracts to WR, or NO PARTY MONEY. They sued the other platforms like the creator of Give.GOP to stop, and defaulted on their contracts. Then they made the default on every donation a RECURRING donation, got sued, and had to refund $22 MILLION to innocent small donors who had been duped. Then they told the antagonistic press that it was all Trumps doing, when nothing was further from the truth.
WR is a lying, grifting, RINO-enriching lie. Do your own research
By federal election law, the donor funds must go to the designated campaign. HOWEVER, the money for Winred is in the % and per-donation fees. And that greatly enriches the corrupt RINO owners of WR.
At least, the scumbag Dems made ActBlue a NON-PROFIT.
As I have explained here before, you’re wrong! The bank will charge a 1.5% fee (the smaller the merchant, the larger the percentage).
Then, the balance of the % AND the per-transaction fee go into the pocketbooks of the PRIVATE RINO OWNERS of Winred.
You should study up on what the RNC did to prior platforms that designed special donation platforms for the RNC, and then the RNC turned on them refused to pay them, sued them to deny the the designers of Give.GOP, and others, from using any of the terms.
Then the RNC went around threatening any candidates with current campaigns to switch to WR, OR THEY WOULD BE DENIED RNC MONEY!
Then, they made the default option a “recurring donation”, so small donors like seniors and the working poor got charged monthly. It was so bad that WR got sued and had to refund $22 MILLION for defrauding donors!
THEN THE RNC turned around and told Huffpost, Slate, Wapo, et al that this fraud was AT THE DIRECT INSTRUCTION OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN!
Lying, grifting Winred. Not one penny from me.
Ha ha ha. Troll. Bye bye.
Maybe read a little bit before you post about the “Concern Troll Topic of the Day.”
Let us hope, if not assume that PDJT will be a lot more discerning, in WHO recieves his endorsements, going forward.
No more “Oh, what the heck, why not give Ron the endorsement?”
PDJT endorsed RINOS in 2022, and he endorsed true MAGA Candidates.
The RNC, the State Parties and the Congressional R campaign committees actively and openly worked to insure the true MAGA candidates list (Majewski, DePerno, Mastrianno, Karamo, Walker, as well as down ticket candidates like Castronuevo) while insuring the RINOS not only won, but won by big margins.
They wanted to SEND A MESSAGE; That running as MAGA, campaigning on election integrity, no mandates as well as the broader MAGA agenda was a LOSING campaign message, IN ORDER TO use that false narrative to say “PDJT can’t win”.
It was thru their covert, and not so covert actions, not the MAGA policies, that they manipulated the outcomes, to create this false narrative.
But, now its time for RETRIBUTION.
I HOPE we have a whole host of true MAGA candidates, running in 2024.
And I hope PDJT doesn’t endorse ANY RINOS, as I WILL NOT vote for ANY RINOS.
Any race where there is no true MAGA candidate running, I will vote against the incumbent, regardless the letter after their name.
My nose just can not stand being held till it bleeds, any more.
No donations for GOP Federal or State from here on out should be given unless the MAGA President Trump official “Seal of Approval”
Is shown in the Fundraising Request! Hopefully this will curtail the fund raising of the Wanabee Rinos. No Seal of Approval or approval on his Seal web page( Seal of Approval | Donald J. Trump )No Donations.
I
It’s the Anti-Rino Seal of Approval!!!! Thank you POTUS!!!!
it’s
Brilliant! LOVE IT!!
We speak of this often in my family… not a penny to the RNC.
MAGA 👊👊🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️
I just wish Trump would form a third party and then run a DJT/RFK third party 2024 campaign. I really think just such a team would decimate both the PROGs and the RINOs.
No time, and no money. I was friends with the Perot people that put together the Reform Party, as we talked a lot. Millions of dollars, registering and getting approved with the FEC, various state agencies, incorporating in each state, setting up phone lines, offices, printers, etc.
There’s not enough time or money.
I already saw a Florida GOP mailer ( i think on janeruby X page?) where they said” trump supports mail in ballots!” whoa.. did not get details.. probably taken out of context.. I hate this ‘blanket statement’ effort to trick people.. If we still read, and do not dig.. we are in big trouble.. Trust nothing. There is so much, yes gonna get overwhelming.. but we gotta keep up. Not tree people.. you are the wisest.
During the 2016 election cycle, Trump was the first candidate I have ever contributed to their campaign. I have also contributed to his 2024 campaign. I am inundated multiple times a day via text and email to contribute to the Republican Party to “save America.” Given the ways the party has been hostile to Trump they will never get my money.
However, the poor old party has a new issue brewing with the name Vivek Ramaswamy. I knew nothing of this person until today when I watched the 8/17 Tucker broadcast. It seems to me that he is being mocked by the media and called crazy. I heard about ‘crazy Ramaswamy’ and never paid any attention to him until he is now showing in second place behind Trump in the primary polling (I am pretty sure he is second in the 20-someting percent). In a nutshell, if Trump wants to reform government, Ramaswamy wants to go even further and eliminate the issues.
It is clear in my mind that Ramaswamy would not exist in this race if it were not Trump blazing a trail informing us all what is going on in D.C. The Republicans, and the un-elected bureaucrats running the Federal Government, now have a 3-prong attack to deal with! Trump, Kennedy, and Ramaswamy ready to burn it all down.
I have only made 2 political contributions in my life. In 2012 I made donations to Mitt Romney and GOP because I thought is was absolutely critical to stop Obama from getting a second term. Now, after seeing their true colors (M.R. and the GOP), I will never make that mistake again. I am all for Trump fighting the GOP and taking them down.
Didn’t Trump’s preferred candidates do poorly in 2022? I’m not sure how much weight his endorsement means anymore.
For the good of our country I hope Trump succeeds in uncovering the truth about the 2020 steal, corruption of the DNC, CIA, FBI, DOJ, etc., and tyranny of the GOP. That said, I still think Trump is unelectable in 2024 even if it were a fair election. He will never win over the soccer moms, independents, and low information voters. All they will see is an endless parade of criminal charges no matter how bogus.
I hate to say it in this forum but I think DeSantis has the best chance to beat the Democrats in this election cycle. Also, why was there no article here about Ramaswamy’s interview last week? I thought he has some good ideas and is an excellent speaker. I did cringe at some of his ideas (especially abandoning Taiwan after we bring IC foundries back to the USA) but he seems like a good conservative businessman (remind you of anybody?).
Didn’t Trump’s preferred candidates do poorly in 2022? I’m not sure how much weight his endorsement means anymore.–Bumbletron
In the 2022 midterm general election 84% of President Trump’s endorsements won their elections even with McCarthy and McConnel funding their opponents in the primaries
https://ballotpedia.org/Endorsements_by_Donald_Trump
Bumbletron, in terms of beating Biden, DeSantis is universally losing in polls against Biden ..even losing against Kamala. President Trump is doing very well in head to head polling against Biden either tied or up by 7% over Biden depending on the poll —-and President Trump does incredibly well with Independents.
More to the point, a sizeable portion of the rightwing voter base will not get behind any other general election candidate except President Trump. The polling numbers tell us between 20% to 43% will stay home or write in President Trump’s name.
Why are all the other GOP candidates being left alone by the weaponized DOJ? Where are their indictments? In my view they’re being left alone because they will do nothing to interfere with the ongoing planned destruction of America.
Bottom line there is no path for Ron to win the general with 20% to 43% of the base refusing to vote for him or for anyone else not named President Trump.
Cowboy MAGA, all Magadonians are on watch
Checkmate.
That’s our President!!!!!
But in my naivety, I have one question. How to recognize — and/or stop — unscrupulous political entities from counterfeiting President Trump’s Seal of Approval?
I expect President Trump will make it known to all MAGA to check whether a candidate has his Seal of Approval before donating — by going to DonaldJTrump.com/Seal of Approval for the current list. I expect we’ll be reminded at rallies, and via email, text, social media and ads.
Counterfeits won’t work because MAGA will only donate if a candidate name is on the approved list at DonaldJTrump.com/Seal of Approval.
Awesome! Totally stopped donating to the RNC…
I was fooled early on by an RNC support Trump site when I gave to a political candidate for the first time in my life. That money probably never reached Trump. The Seal of Approval is a brilliant idea.
Great move
Great idea. I get tons of emails that look like they are from the Trump campaign until you look at the email address.
It got to the point that I only donate from the actual DonaldJTrump.com website.
This is brilliant. It flips the finger at the RNC and let’s his supporters know who he truly endorses. Absolutely love it.
” Millions and millions of new first-time names. The core of middle-class America.”
And the Republican Party doesn’t want them or their money. Makes you think, doesn’t it?
PTrump handed the GOP the working class vote including a sizable chunk of the Hispanic voter and some Black male votes. The GOP said no thanks. And yes, the Whigs need to go away into oblivion.
That woman in charge of the RNC should have been removed for mismanagement of the funds raised for the party.
And she’s got the RONA
How about the $200M that was sent to the RNC to Stop the Steal in 2020?? They didn’t spend a dime on that. They should be sued.
Thankfully I got all of my money back, I quit the GOP and will never support any political candidate ever again. I just won’t play that game anymore.
Same as if it was Jill Biden.
This is Trump’s first move to either form a third party or take over the current Whig, oh sorry GOP, party. Finally, I see hope for MAGA in the organized political arena. Thank your PTrump!
Make the RNC the third party!
RNC is already the Turd Party
live and learn, sorry you didnt see right through rino romney
Agreed. I receive a lot of communication from the RNC with, what appears to be, Trump’s endorsement but I don’t trust the RNC and don’t respond… so this official endorsement will help bc it constantly impresses upon the RNC that IF they attempt to harm President Trump, they will have no to very few supporters literally.
Hopefully, PDJT will limit the authority to approve entities to himself alone.
