Republican pollster. Frank Lus recently conducted a focus group with a bunch of MAGA Republican
voters, people who absolutely love and adore Donald Trump. And what Mr. Luz found was actually
quite remarkable because according to lunch, these Republicans, these MAGA Republicans
are sick and tired of Donald Trump. But more importantly, and we'll get more to this in
a moment, they also finally realize that he's actually a greedy. So B, that is essentially
taking money from other Republican candidates. So here's what happened. Lunch assembles,
his little mag focus group asks them how they feel about Donald Trump. And here this is
from raw story, the small group of voters from mostly red states said words like narcissist,
tired, unsettling, and mistake. There were still a few who viewed Trump with words like
high hopes fighter and a leader. But then when he asked them, you know what word best
describes Ron DeSantis, they had more positive things to say. Calling him a leader or saying
that they were hopeful. Fighter visionary. So with Trump, they're like tired, unsettling,
narcissist with DeSantis, they're like hope, visionary love.
So lunch concluded and said they're tired. They still appreciate him. They still think
he was a great president. That hasn't changed, but they now look at him and see why all the
chaos, why all this fussing and fighting isn't there a better way? He also said that they're
quote angry at him for the candidates he supported and his lack of support for them when they
needed it most. And that gets us, of course, to the most important part, where these MAGA
voters realized that Don Donald Trump is a greedy bastard. See, it turns out that Lance
also told these people that Donald Trump, as some of them already knew, went out there
and raised a lot of money for these people he endorsed. And he did that by sending out
campaign emails because these candidates gave their email lists to Donald Trump. So he already
benefits from getting an expansion of the email lists. So he sends out an email saying,
Hey, this Donald Trump here. How you doing? How's your mother? Um, I need some money for
this wonderful great candidate. You know, whether it's Dr. Oz or Mast or Herschel Walker
or Blake Masters or Kerry Lake, we need money for this person. But then lunch told the crowd,
oh, by the way, Trump only gave those people maybe about 90, uh uh, excuse me, about 10%
of what he raised and kept about 90% of it for himself, that he says is when the voters
grew angry. He said, they get
Angry. Then he said, Trump voters are fed up with all of the Trump focused hysteria
and they want someone different. And they see Ron DeSantis at this point as being different.
He also said that they're mad about the greed because they didn't know that part of the
story. Most people don't realize that part of the story. They think, well, Donald Trump
was out there raising money for all these people. I saw the emails, they're in my inbox.
Did you read the fine print? That money is not going to these people. Most of it did
not reach them.
It went straight to Donald Trump because he gets the biggest cut of it of all, because
he's the one who sent out the emails to the list that they gave him. They compiled the
list, they put it all together. Trump didn't do any of the work cuz God knows he didn't
type out the email himself. Probably didn't even dictate it to somebody. Somebody else
created it. Trump approved it. And that was the extent of his involvement. But he got
the pocket almost all of that cash. And that is what these voters off. And rightfully so.
Well get ready Mag of voters. Cause I'm about to shock you again, same thing's happening
right now in Georgia with Herschel Walker. Rick Scott's National Republican Senatorial
Committee is raising money for Herschel Walker and only giving him 1% of what they raise.
98% of it goes back to the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the N R S C.
They keep 98% of it. Rick Scott gets to keep 1% for his personal campaign. And poor little
Herschel Walker only gets 1%. So this practice is not uncommon, especially with Republicans.
But Donald Trump has it down to an art form. Art, art form. Excuse me, you want my support?
You want my endorsement? Give me your email list. That's mine now. And those are worth
a lot of money in political campaigns, folks, they are worth a ton of money. So he says,
gimme your email list. That's mine. I'm gonna send out the email. I'm gonna ask for money.
People are gonna send money because I'm asking for it for you. But I'm gonna keep most of
it. Like I'll give you a little bit of it maybe. But most of it comes right back to
me. And the candidates are so desperate for his endorsement because they think it'll help
them that they say yes. And well, we saw how that played out during the midterms. So Trump
made a ton of money. His supporters are now becoming aware of it. They're getting off
when they were already at the point where they were tired of him. And that's probably
not gonna sit too well with them when it comes time to vote in those 2024 Republican primaries.
