Four Presidents in NY, Hucksters ???

[Grace]

On Thursday March 28th Biden and his campaign had a fund raiser, that included former presidents Obama and Clinton. The lavish event was held at New York's, Radio City Hall which costs anywhere between $200,000 to $500,000, to rent. The star-studded event was attended by well-known politicians and liberal entertainers as well as others. If any of the attendees desired a photo with all three Presidents, they had to pay $100,000! A donation of $250,000 earned donors’ access to one reception, and $500,000 got them into an even more exclusive gathering.

But the obscenely and extravagantly expensive party didn’t stop there. First lady Jill Biden and DJ D-Nice hosted an after-party at Radio City Music Hall with 500 guests.

The opulent event garnered $25 million from its donors.

On the same day that the Biden’s and their campaign were holding their ostentatious event, President Trump was in New York City as well. He was attending the wake of 31-year Jonathon Diller who was shot and killed Monday in Queens after he approached an illegally parked vehicle. Jonathon Diller leaves behind a young wife and baby boy.

Trump is accused of being a huckster for promoting Bibles, and possibly garnering money from their sales. But who really are the hucksters? Getting a pittance for selling Bibles or asking $100,000 dollars to be photographed with past presidents?

I am not defending Trump, but the difference between the two events on the same day, a million-dollar event or attending a wake for a fallen officer, whose life was cut short by a career criminal, is astounding. And what is even more galling is that the Biden administration refused to even say the brave officer’s name.

You should probably stop relying so much on right-wing media to inform you: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo ... eens-ny-2/

So, first, President Biden spoke to Mayor Adams and gave his condolences about the tragic killing of Officer Jonathan Diller. The President offered Mayor Adams, the city of New York, and the New York Police Department his full support in the wake of the tragedy.

I refuse to reveal how much I paid for this photo.

If the Trump's purpose isn't to make money from the Bibles (since he's only getting a "pittance"), what do you think his purpose is?

The difference is that Biden, Clinton, and Obama are not personally pocketing a SINGLE dime from the fundraiser in question. It was part of the re-election campaign. Political campaigns in this country are privately funded. That's how it is thanks to the Supreme Court overturning McCain-Feingold.

While the proceeds from Trump's Bible selling scheme go 100% into his own pocket. It is all for personal profit.

No where in the press briefing did KJP say the officer's name nor did Biden offer condolences directly to the fallen officer's family.

I wonder how much cheating happens and how much will be pocketed personally?

PREVIOUSLY ON THIS CHANNEL:

Is Trump cashing in? The book publisher says no. This is on their web site:

According to the book’s official site, the God Bless the USA Bible has nothing to do with Trump’s campaign. It is “not owned, managed, or controlled by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization, CIC Ventures LLC, or any of their respective principals or affiliates.” Instead, Trump’s “name, likeness, and image” are being used “under paid license from CIC Ventures LLC.”

OK, so Trump isn't profiting, something called CIC Ventures LLC is profiting. What is that? According to the Washington Post, it is just a pipeline to Trump.

In [Trump’s] financial disclosure released last year, he’s identified as the [CIC Ventures LLC’s] “manager, president, secretary and treasurer” and the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust is identified as a 100 percent owner of the business. The same entity also receives royalties from his book “A MAGA Journey” and speaking engagements.

And...

According to the company’s documents, you’ll find the principal address for CIC Ventures LLC is 3505 Summit Boulevard, West Palm Beach, Florida. That is a Trump golf course. Moreover, in a 2022 disclosure, Nick Luna is listed as a manager. Luna was Trump’s personal assistant and body man.

So yes, Trump gets a cut of every Bible sold, even though the publisher tried to obscure that fact. How much of a cut though is anyone's guess. Apparently that hasn't been disclosed.

Suffice it to believe, career politicians know how to profit in elected office.
Businessmen value profits.

It’s wasted time to try to divide any of them from a buck. Their best buds are billionaires. They aren’t doing without.

It’s LEE GREENWOOD’s Bible, published in 2021, not without problems. Trump has chosen to endorse it.
i have no plans to purchase.
