Trump is personally cashing in from his supporters paying up to $4,000 to hear him speak on tour

President Donald Trump is personally cashing in from rally-style political events that his die-hard supporters pay to attend, the Washington Post reports.

On the American Freedom Tour, Trump's supporters pay anywhere from $55 for general admission "citizen" tickets to $4,000 "presidential tier" packages that include an after-party and meet-and-greet with Trump, the Post reported.

Proceeds from Trump's American Freedom Tour go directly to his own pockets. They are also separate from his political rallies, which are free to attend, often in support of specific candidates, and held through his Save America leadership PAC.

It's routine for former presidents to take to the paid speech circuit after leaving office, where they can profit handsomely and earn enviable fees from speaking to corporations and interest groups. But it's relatively unprecedented for ex-presidents to charge their supporters to see them speak at political rally-style events with similar material.

3. Some folks apparently have more money than sense.

$4000 to see Drumph at an after-party? WTAF?

4. I just don't get it. Once you have heard one of his "speeches", you have heard them all. It's the

same old b.s. every time. The grievance may change slightly from speech to speech but it is always "poor me, I was robbed", "fake news", "unselect committee"... At some point, one would think even his most die hard fans would tire of it.

5. A fool and his money soon will be parted. Less they have to spew shit elsewhere.

9. I was going to reply with that - "A fool and his money..." n/t

[kentuck]

6. A real William Jennings Bryant-type of speaker...

...to pay that kind of money for his pearls of wisdom.

7. I don't give a flying fuck if he bankrupts everyone of his supporters.

I hope he does.

It would give me great satisfaction.

8. I've never seen such a bunch of suckers in my life. Trump even puts the old evangelicals like

Jim and Tammie Fay to shame with his huckstering.

10. They could pop a beta into their VHS machine from any random of his appearances.

11. FORMER President Donald Trump

12. Will they run out of gas money?

13. Its a cult. This is how cults operate.
