There is no corruption too petty for Donald Trump.
We're gonna describe what a former aide has revealed.
And while we go through these details,
I want you to bear in mind that according to Donald Trump is a billionaire.
He has billions of dollars.
Okay, in 2021 Trump's Make America Great Again pack,
spent 37 a half thousand dollars a month for
10 months renting space in the trump organization building in Manhattan.
The former aide says it's a huge scam.
I can't believe his base lets him get away with it.
That aid works, they're letting people into that area.
That is not the only way that they funneled money that was donated to them
into renting their own properties, Trump's campaign also rented unused space.
It was the same monthly amount his campaign had spent their from mid 2017
through the end of 2020.
So for literally years, in all those months,
there was at most one person who periodically visited the 7000 square
foot office in trump tower according to this former aide.
But Trump insisted on having the campaign continue renting there,
because the building was having trouble finding tenants.
And so all of this is a few hundred thousand dollars that conservatives
donated in small amounts because they
just wanted Donald Trump to make America great again.
And he took that money and he gave it to himself.
So that he could set up fake offices in vacant areas of his building, and
again, $300,000 is a lot for me, other people around here.
But if you have billions, that is so incredibly petty.
And that amount is also fascinating in one other way, the $375,000 that he spent for
this unused office space is more than the $350,000 that has saved American
committee donated last year to Republican candidates running for office.
Which is supposedly the reason that he is raising that money since he himself is
not running and will not for some time.
So he put more into dormant dark rooms in his tower than into the future of
the Republican party and this will end up bothering no republicans.
They won't care most will never hear about it, but they won't be bothered.
>> Yeah, I hate to keep going back to the same thing, but it is, that's what the,
what the answer is.
It's the media.
So I tell you all the time about how corporate media is simple for
the status quo and cheerleading for it.
And they lie ad nauseam in an alternate reality where the status quo is
wonderful to all of you, right?
Well right wing media lies to you of course, on different grounds and
in this case, the right wingers have no idea the degree to which
Donald Trump is stealing from them.
Do you know that in 2016 after the campaign
switched to donor money instead of Trump's money,
he increased the rent that he was charging his own campaign five fold,
for the offices they were using in Trump tower?
Five fold as soon as it was your money, don't you get it right wingers,
know left winger gave trump money.
It's not our money, it's yours that he's stealing,
when it was his money no no don't worry about it when it's your money.
He's like charging five times more.
My followers are idiots.
Let's rob them blind.
He get to raise money from you to give to other republicans and
instead he gave it to himself.
So, if they knew that would they still be okay with it?
My guess is no they wouldn't, but it depends on who's telling them.
If I tell them to go, no Jinx a bad guy.
He doesn't even realize that America is not a democracy, it's a republic.
That's why we have to do the cool, I don't trust junk at all, okay.
Okay, fine if CNN you don't trust him, you probably shouldn't trust.
Okay? That's why I'm telling you,
it's right wing media.
If Tucker Carlson turned on Donald Trump and the rest of the media
did on the right wing, he'd be done in the span of about two weeks.
He came out and said that he took the vaccine and
he lost like a giant like we did a poll right after that right?
We didn't commission and we reported on it, and he lost like 15,
20 points among Republicans.
If target crossing came out and said Trump is robbing you.
And he showed these same exact facts.
People were like, I didn't know he was robbing me.
I'm not in favor of him robbing me.
I was, I thought he was robbing Muslims or Latinos or something, okay.
I mean if he's robbing me then I'm mad.
But they will not say the truth under penalty of law.
>> Yeah, it's one thing to vote against your own interests and it's another
thing to vote for the guy who's currently sticking you up at gunpoint.
[LAUGH] That's a very that's a very interesting Freudian.
I don't know if something's going on there, but yeah,
Republican voters somehow really like this pain and
of course they're never gonna know about it because it never gets reported on.
Well they'll never know that when they take that little box that said,
I didn't not want to stop giving $500 every week to the Trump campaign that was
actually gonna charge their credit card a little bit more.
I will just take issue with the idea that this was empty space.
I do think Rudy Giuliani was up there with a go Kart just
doing donuts having a grand old time.
I mean it was his home and you should respect it Thusly.
And the last thing hit the brand,
I love this idea that Trump is somehow he runs the country like his business,
he runs it like, look at his business, nobody wants to even rent space.
And I mean he's a terrible autocrat, any other country right?
You think people don't wanna rent space in the autocrats building?
Of course they do, not Trump, he can't even be a good totalitarian,
he can't even do demagoguing, right?
>> So I got to state a couple of more effects to Francesca's point.
There's literally a saying in a gambling, the house always wins.
Every gambler knows anybody who's gone to Vegas though is that the house
always wins.
He couldn't run casinos, they went bankrupt, they have to put an asterix
now the house always wins asterix unless the more on Donald Trump is running it.
And so the only thing he knows how to do is fraud and theft.
That's why now he's under criminal investigation and he's in a lot of trouble
in civil issues in New York cuz that's his business, fraud and theft.
And so both his pack and his own campaign charged for trump tower and
other places that he owns without actually having offices, there.
Robbing you in two different directions.
And of course as usual, the more on Donald Trump has told people,
well I had to do it, because we're having trouble filling up Trump tower.
No you're moron, you're at least supposed to say no, we actually had offices there.
It wasn't for my business interests, it was for the campaign.
It was really important that we have an office in the middle of Manhattan.
That's really expensive in the state.
We're never gonna win, right?
You have to pretend to say that, instead the idiots,
well of course I had to rob you because I don't have enough money.
And as long as right wing media tells him yes sir.
You all, if you're in the right wing never hear even hear that.
>> The only thing I will add, cuz I know that we're over is, I don't know that
Tucker Carlson is ever going to do what you were predicting earlier.
But he did go off about how having COVID makes you feminized.
Trump was that COVID.
And also I believe it was two nights ago, he did this whole thing about how
emotionally well adjusted people don't freak out when they lose an election.
They don't refuse to accept it.
They take it as an opportunity to learn.
It's a normal part of the process, you can grow and develop.
Now he said all of this while implying that he was mocking Max Boo and
Liz Cheney, but it obviously better fits Donald Trump as well as his base.
So I don't know,
maybe he's moving in the direction that you're predicting right there.
>> Yeah, he's gonna do a Raiders of the lost ark situation, where he's
gonna switch out the two objects and take out trump and put himself in.
We've already shown you half a dozen ways that Tucker Carlson is in the middle of
doing that, and if you think that's gonna make it better,
no, we're gonna replace a dumb fascist with a much smarter fascist.
