One would think that a real billionaire would be able to fund these salaries out of petty cash or float a few bank loans for it:
Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) told a Buffalo area radio station: “Mr. Trump held a fundraiser down in New York City a few weeks back and did raise some money, but they have – I would use the word – ‘struggled’ to raise the private funds needed to pay these individuals who are working on behalf of the taxpayers but not being paid by the government.”
The ferret-wearer’s options are limited:
- no U.S. bank will touch Donald J. Trump ever again
- Deutsche Bank is teetering as it is
- he already owes the Chinese several hundred million last I saw
- Putin doesn’t dare front him the sum, through Alfa Bank or any other entity
So Kellyanne’s doing a fundraiser!
President-elect Donald Trump’s Campaign Manager-turned-Communications Counselor Kellyanne Conway will visit Buffalo this week for an exclusive fundraiser.
Conway will speak at a Thursday afternoon luncheon at the Westin Buffalo hotel. The $5000 per person event is intended to raise funds to cover the costs of Trump’s transition team, including their salaries.
The shades of Warren G. Harding and Richard M. Nixon must be green with envy.
