Here are five of Pres. Trump's big-money supporters:
Since his first presidential bid, Donald Trump has been an outspoken critic of big-money politics, saying"I don't need anybody's money," mocking Republican candidates backed by the Koch brothers as "puppets" and even calling super PACs a"scam."
Launched by former Trump campaign aides in April of 2017 and currently headed by GOP operative Brian Walsh, America First Action has quickly locked down its title as the main pro-Trump outside fundraising vehicle, raising nearly $40 million and spending more than $36 million in just the first two years of its operation, with support from some of the most generous GOP donors, including Adelson, according to campaign finance records filed to the Federal Election Commission.
Prior to running America First Action, Walsh headed an anti-Hillary Clinton super PAC called Future45 during the 2016 cycle. Future45 has continued to raise money from big-name Republican donors, including multiple seven-figure checks from the Ricketts family, hedge fund manager Paul Singer and financing executive Charles Schwab during the 2018 election cycle, FEC records show. Much of the $6 million the group raised, however, went to congressional races.
Last month, Great America PAC blasted out Facebook ads promoting first lady Melania Trump's birthday and calling special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election the"Largest Political Scam Ever," according to Facebook ad library data. More recently, the group launched multiple ad campaigns hitting at Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, calling him"creepy Joe.
