Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of Donald Trump and co-chair of the Republican National Committee, delivered a new plea for cash from Trump supporters β asking for money even from those who donβt have it right now.
βIf you canβt afford a donation today, I ask that you would save it for a later date,β she pleaded in a new video posted online by PatriotTakes, which monitors right-wing media. βBut if you could donate even as much as $5, it will go a long way.β

Trump is part of a new leadership team at the RNC as the former president solidifies his control over the organization. The New York Times reported last month that a new shared fundraising agreement ensures that some of the money raised will go to the fund paying Trumpβs substantial legal fees.
If his fundraising matches 2020, he could get as much as $32 million to pay for his lawyers and other expenses related to his four criminal cases, according to a HuffPost analysis.
Trumpβs critics put her on blast over the new plea for money for a billionaire candidate:

Billionaires asking people to save up $5 so they can pay for the billionaires fraud trial just doesn't sound very Christian to me. Well, Joel Osteen Christian, but not real Christian. https://t.co/CHKCW9QIdl

Lara Trump recently posted a picture out celebrating at an expensive sushi restaurant. Weβre talking likely $100/plate for a party over 5.

Why does a self-proclaimed billionaire need money from poor people?

It's all about the grift. #GOPGrifters https://t.co/bx4yU0bN52
Imagine the level of sociopath you have to do this with a smile while your fraudster father in law pretends to be a billionaire & lives in multiple gold leafed pimp palaces. https://t.co/BU8l8vFq6e

The Trump campaign has spent over $368,000 thus far,... on a "fashion consultant" for Melania Trump - even though she HASN'T APPEARED at a SINGLE CAMPAIGN EVENT.

That's a lot of money- so you Trump supporters living paycheck to paycheck,... are going to have to dig deeper. https://t.co/hzx3eHwBcK

How much more money can the Trumps grift off Maga?
All it will be used for is paying his legal bills and lavish parties at Mar-a-lago! #TrumpIsNotFitToBePresident https://t.co/V8h1fKabUH
