But is the money really going to challenge the election results? We get the facts for this and also whether those Dominion voting machines really switched votes to Joe Biden.
Trump’s mostly evidence-free video on social media Wednesday sought to sustain his backers’ support.
So far, his post-election fundraising effort has brought in more than $207 million, a staggering amount for a campaign that lost.
But as the National Investigative Unit first reported last month, nearly all of the money is not going to Trump’s effort to overturn the election in court — no matter what the bold font type says.
Instead, 60% of every donation originally went first to Trump’s own Save America PAC and 40% to the Republican National Committee.
Only after donors gave $5,000 did the money actually go to the “recount account.”
Meanwhile, the president also falsely accuses Dominion Voting Systems of switching votes from him to Biden.
Not only did the Trump-appointed attorney general and top cybersecurity official flatly say that’s not true, but an analysis by The Washington Post of 10 key states actually found the president won a huge 81% of votes cast on Dominion voting machines in those states.
The president is fixated on those false voter fraud claims while the coronavirus pandemic hits the highest number of deaths in a single day.
Trump retweeted a post claiming this photo of a COVID-19 field hospital in Nevada is fake.
But the doctor who took it and Nevada’s governor rebuked the president.
Gov. Steve Sisolak, on official letterhead, wrote “it is unconscionable for him to continue to spread lies and sow distrust at a time when all Americans should be united during this historic public health crisis. Enough is enough.”
At a disinformation seminar Wednesday, decorated retired Gen. John Allen — who fought against psychological warfare and information ops as the top allied commander in Afghanistan — criticized the commander-in-chief for putting America on “a knife’s edge.”
“Truth was lost,” Allen said. “Facts became debatable, and tens of millions of American citizens were held in the grip of a major influence operation. And many of them have been radicalized by Trump’s ideology, with many of them drifting sadly into extremism, and we’re dealing with this every single day.”
