'Eye-opening': Leaked 'audit' shares staggering amount paid to Trump campaign manager

A manager of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has raked in an eye-popping $22 million for his work in just two years, according to a report Tuesday from the Daily Beast.

Chris LaCivita, one of two senior aides running the show, made $19 million just in 2022 as a “strategic consultant” to two Trump super PACs, according to campaign finance records.

9. The way I see it, Trumps considers himself sole beneficiary and proprietor of all funds in his orbit, period.

So, the real question to ask is, "how much did he give back to these "campaign" people as compensation for their benefit to him?"
I have no more reliance on the rumors about them than I do on the rumors from them. "End of the world or tempest in a teapot", our various media resources pass this clickbait off as real news with predictable regularity. Are any of them true? Is the information we have regarding them complete? IMPOSSIBLE to say.

There are no straight forward deals or answers in Trump World. That fact is a constant, the only reliable thing about Trump.

Points of current concern:
> MAGA finds pseudo-information entertaining. They are duly infatuated with stuff like this to defend or to deny.
> MADA doesn't find the situation wherein a conman is leading them by the nose to their doom concerning.
> MAGA is the biggest threat to civilization in the world today.
> MAGA can vote.

I think you may have hit upon the root cause of our current economic "spiral*".

is by meeting it in its weak spot, capitalism. It is America's gateway for infiltration of greed and other societal corruptions.

An ad where they feature a pie chart of the Republican donation dollar. How much goes where.

There would be a section for Melania’s hairdresser, one for this guy, etc.
