WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former President Donald Trump's Save America group has quickly become one of the top Republican fundraising organizations ahead of the Nov. 8 congressional elections.

But so far it has been stingy with its spending on Republican efforts to win in November compared to the expenditures of other groups, according to a Reuters analysis of financial disclosures made to the Federal Election Commission.

Trump has already drawn attention for giving only small amounts to Republican candidates, but the findings of the Reuters analysis showing the sharp contrast in spending have not been previously reported.

Since Trump founded Save America in November 2020, the group has raised $124 million -- the largest war chest ever built by an ex-president -- but spent only about $14 million, or around 11%. Much of that has gone to funding rallies and ads that ostensibly promote Republicans running for Congress but focus more on Trump himself.

He's pocketing it. What else?

1. He'd like it for himself. If that proves impossible, then he'll spend it on getting elected

so that he can cheat the system from the inside again.

I'd also like to know how much cash from merchandizing goes straight to Trump. If he pays for a rally using PAC funds, and then sells MAGA clothing and so on at it, I expect the excessive profits made on that go to a Trump business, rather than any PAC.

2. He's spending it on hookers and blow.

Same as always.
