A Pro-Trump scam PAC returns with a vengeance

President Donald Trump is out of office, but the scammers that used his name to raise money aren’t stopping.

Over the past few weeks, POLITICO has received a number of robocalls from generically named political groups asking for cash in order to help in very Trump-specific missions.

A donation of $100, for example, would help return Trump to Twitter. Or, for a similar amount, a potential donor can “stop Kamala Harris and socialism,” the calls claim. Other calls ask for money to ensure that congressional Democrats don’t dismantle the wall Trump started building along the U.S.-Mexico border.

One of the telemarketers behind the calls, who spoke to a POLITICO reporter on Wednesday, promised that “100 percent of the contributions go directly to President Trump.”

The man has bills coming due. And we can't expect that Florida dog rescue charity to pay for EVERYTHING, now can we?

to get involved in the dealings of private business. Let the free market work it all out. If we choke these entrepreneurs with laws and regulations we stifle the creativity that has made this country great!

Right? Right?
