Trump donors forced to hear rambling accusations during deranged Mar-a-Lago speech

Republican National Committee and the #TrumptiDumpti campaign co-hosted a private retreat for big GOP donors at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend. Reported in the New York Intelligencer by Chas Danner. "It’s not clear if the framed Billboard acknowledgement, presumably regarding the song’s previous No. 1 status, is in fact a real award."

(Ya'think❓) The Wildest Things Trump Said at His Private Mar-a-Lago Fundraiser

In case you didn’t contribute at least 💲40,000, the amount necessary to attend on Saturday, you missed Donald Trump saying a number of wild things to the audience of hundreds of donors at the event, according to attendee accounts and an audio recording of his speech, which was shared with the New York Times and others.

Below are the most notable comments he reportedly made.

Trump compared the Biden administration to the Nazi secret police.

“These people are running a Gestapo administration,” Trump said of his successor’s administration, while complaining about the many indictments he faces. “And it’s the only thing they have. And it’s the only way they’re going to win, in their opinion, and it’s actually killing them. But it doesn’t bother me.”

He alleged Democrats use welfare to buy votes. Per the New York Times:

Trump’s comments about welfare to wealthy donors at the event called to mind remarks caught on tape by Mitt Romney during his 2012, presidential run, when he dismissed 47 percent of voters as off-limits because they did not pay taxes.

“When you are Democrat, you start off essentially at 40 percent because you have civil service, you have the unions and you have welfare,” Trump said on Saturday. “And don’t underestimate welfare. They get welfare to vote, and then they cheat on top of that — they cheat.”

Trump offered the mic to anyone who pledged 💲1 million, but had just two takers. At one point during the event, Trump announced an incentive for the gathered donors — “as if he were at an auction,” reports the Washington Post. “Anyone who makes a 💲1 million donation right now to the Republican Party,” Trump said, “I will let you come up and speak.” Only two donors accepted. One used his time onstage to declare that “Donald J. Trump is the person that God has chosen.”

He also complained about donors (to the donors).

This probably isn’t a good idea when you’re reportedly having trouble with fundraising. Per the Post:

At another point, [Trump] complained about having to take so many pictures with donors and told people in the crowd that if they didn’t get a picture, it was because they didn’t give enough 💰money❗

He also claimed that a wedding at the property got preference over the donors because the wedding was paying more per person to be there.

Trump insisted everyone was ‘begging’ to be his VP.
Trump also spoke his search for someone to be his running mate, bragging that there was a desperate clamor for the job via one of his trademark, made-up “sir” stories. 

According to Trump: It’s funny when I listen to the fake news, they all say, “Well, you know, he’s going to have a hard time getting people in his administration because he’s very tough and I’m not sure he can get anybody to be vice president of the United States.”
I’ve got 50 people calling me, begging me … “I’ll cut off my right arm, sir. Please, I want to be the vice president.” These are ambitious politicians.

He crudely attacked Jack Smith and Fani Willis.

Per the audio recording of his speech, Trump called special council Jack Smith a “fucking asshole,” an “evil thug,” and “deranged.” He also referred to Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis as a “real beauty” and “Mrs. Wade” — a reference to her controversial relationship with former special prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom she hired to work on the case.

And he bragged about having a bigger hit record than Taylor Swift.

At the event, RNC co-chair Lara Trump reportedly presented Trump with a “Billboard Music Award” for the song “Justice for All” — a rendition of the national anthem performed by a choir of imprisoned January 6th, mob members, overlaid with Trump reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. USA Today reports that Trump was very happy to talk about the success of the song, which his campaign now plays at every event he attends:

The Trump campaign said in a readout of the meeting sent to reporters that Trump’s daughter-in-law and RNC co-chair Lara Trump “presented President Trump with a Billboard Music award for the No. 1 song ‘Justice for All” … In the picture shared with USA TODAY, the former president and Lara Trump are posing next to the framed Billboard acknowledgement Saturday.

“He said something to the effect that: I was approached about helping out, I did it as a favor, I didn’t think much about it, next thing I know, it’s top of the charts! I mean can you believe it? It was higher than Taylor Swift!” an individual at the luncheon told USA TODAY.

P.S. Maine Writer- Did I miss something or did Melania Trump miss this fundraiser❓
