I cannot express my sadness over Republicans worrying if Grampy will spend his $1/2 billion "war chest" on the Midterms

Trump has an enormous war chest to potentially help bolster Republicans’ election prospects in November, though some GOP lawmakers and candidates have grown increasingly anxious that the president may withhold the $347 million his super PAC has in its coffers.

“Some Republicans have privately questioned if Trump will unleash any of the $347 million that has poured into MAGA Inc., the super political-action committee aligned with the president, suggesting he will want to hold on to it for other things,” the Journal’s report reads.

He considered the donations to be his personal money and he would not give it up.

A con man knows he has an easy mark when they fall for the same con over and over, like MAGA does.
