Coming soon.... The Donald Trump PAC / Party. [View all]

I've suspected early on, back in February that Trump doesn't really want to be President, but generate enough of a following to create a post-election political party that he can con and milk for all their worth.

Current polling has Trump getting possibly as low as 38% of the popular vote.

Now, in 2012, almost 130 million votes were cast.

38% of 130 million is almost 50 million.

In addition, let's say, after losing next month, 20% of those voters desert him. He would still have 40 million that support him.

Furthermore, with this newly formed pseudo PAC/party, he would probably ask each of the 40 million to donate just $20 to his cause.

Let's say only half do just that. That would still be $400 million.

You just know Trump would pocket at least half of that for himself and his family, giving him $200 million.

Then he and Steve Bannon would create a Youtube channel and Facebook video presence, and asking his 40 million followers every 6 months or so for another $20.

That's how he gets hundreds of millions of dollars each year in income.

By bilking naive, gullible, Trump followers.

Donald J. Trump. The modern-day P.T. Barnum.
