.ZeeshanAleem: Trump’s rhetorical sleights of hand raise the possibility that his de facto third presidential campaign is already marked by corruption.
: “We did it twice, and we’ll do it again. We’re going to be doing it again, a third time.”
Trump’s rhetorical sleights of hand raise the possibility that his de facto third presidential campaign is already marked by corruption before it even formally kicks off. Trump remains a fundraising juggernaut, with an extraordinary ability to rake in cash. His Save America PAC ended January with $108 million,the Republican National Committee had on hand as it closed out the month.
Trump’s rhetorical strategy of running for the White House without officially running for the White House is, from a campaign finance perspective, having his cake and eating it too. He can reap the attention and money that come with being a powerful politician saying he’s running for the White House — but without having to subject himself to disclosure regulations and restrictions on how he could raise and spend campaign money.
“On its face, the combination of Trump’s own statements about 2024 and his aggressive fundraising certainly could be enough evidence to trigger the standard for becoming a candidate for president under federal law,” she said.The rules that would kick in with an official declaration would encumber Trump in a number of ways. He would have to disclose personal financial details, which he is likely keen to delay for as long as possible.
