Lara Trump's Stupidity May Have Already Broken The Republican Party

Donald Trump is hellbent on having his daughter-in-law take over the RNC, and her comments last week about giving "every penny" that they raise to Trump has caused such a stir that the Party might already be broken. According to new reports, Republican donors are panicking about the prospect of Lara becoming the co-chair of the Party, mostly based on her idiotic comments about giving Trump all the money. With the Party already struggling to raise funds, putting Lara in charge is effectively going to kill them financially, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Laura Trump may have already destroyed the Republican party itself even before she gets the opportunity to become the co-chair of the party. As we all know, the news came out last week. Donald Trump is pushing for his daughter-in-Law, Laura Trump, to become the co-chair of the Republican National Committee. He's also pushing for one of his, uh, communications people, Chris Laveda, uh, to become the third in command, basically of the Republican Party. And then his other guy, Michael Watley, to be the chair chair. Laura Trump would just be the co-chair, but either way, Donald Trump would have three of his people in the three top spots at the RNC and right now that is sending panic across the Republican donor base. And it's all because Laura Trump is dumber than a box of rocks. Last week, Laura Trump told us during a media appearance that every single, when she is in charge, every single penny that's, those are her words, every penny that the RNC raises will go to Trump.

And if you understand how national political parties work, they raise money to give to all candidates, you know, running in all races so that they can help with the house and they can help with the Senate and governorships and all kinds of fun things. And Laura Trump already came out like a dumb and said, no, I'm gonna give it all to Donald Trump, because he's almost bankrupted both of his political action committees by using them as his personal piggy banks to pay all his legal fees. So he squandered hundreds of millions of dollars between the Save America Political Action Committee and the Make America Great Again Incorporated Political action committee. That's the one actually supporting his presidential campaign. Wasted hundreds of millions of dollars with those two things. So those are virtually bankrupt. He personally, thanks to the fraud trial ruling, could end up personally bankrupt.

The RNC only has $8 million on hand right now. Meanwhile, Joe Biden alone raised 42 million in January. So the Republican Party is going bankrupt. State Republican parties are literally on the verge of filing bankruptcy, and the Republican donors are now freaked out because if we give the RNC any money, Laura's already saying she's giving it all to her daddy in-Law. Like, what are we gonna do? Because this is utter insanity. And it is. The problem is Trump wants it to happen. So it's gonna happen like this. This does not go away. Trump wants his people in charge of the RNC. And then from there, because there are 168 members of the RNC who get to vote on, you know, the leader, the co-chair, all that crap, um, they're gonna replace all 168 according to Steve Bannon. So every single person involved at the RNC will

Will be a Trump person. Trump's not just looking to remake the leadership, he is looking to take the entire thing over to become his personal piggy bank. 'cause he is already bankrupted his other piggy banks, including his own bank account. Here's what donors are saying. Well, this is actually according to a, uh, report from Daily Beast, not a donor, but it's a, uh, uh, GOP operative. He said quote, GOP donors are in full panic mode over the possibility of Laura Trump. The RNC needs someone who can rack in the dough for Trump, and she ain't it. Laura Trump has no experience running a, a national political party. She has no experience running a local political party. She has no idea what she's doing.
