As he continues to divert attention from the Jeffrey Epstein story, President Donald Trump is targeting Democrats once more.
On social media, President Donald Trump is once more disparaging Democrats.
Trump on Truth Social
Trump once again used Truth Social to inform the public that he is “looking into the large amount of money owed by the Democrats” after the election, in which a number of well-known celebrities backed the opposition to the now-president.
Regarding Beyonc, Oprah, Al Sharpton, and others, the president specifically demanded that their involvement in the election be investigated, pointing to “ridiculous fees that were incorrectly stated in the books and records.”
“Eleven million dollars to singer Beyonc for an ENDORSEMENT (she never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience),” he wrote.
“Three million dollars for ‘expenses’ to Oprah, ($600,000) to very low-rated TV ‘anchor’ Al Sharpton (a total lightweight), and others to be named for doing absolutely NOTHING!”
Payments to certain celebrities and their production businesses to conduct rallies or events on favor of the Democratic presidential candidate, including events in Houston, Michigan, and New York, drew criticism to Harris’ campaign during the 2024 election.
At the time of the election, Harris’ campaign had $1.15 billion in committee funding and about $843 million from outside sources, according to Open Secrets.
On the other hand, Trump only committed $463 million, with almost $1 billion coming from other sources.
Trump asserts that it is unlawful to pay for an endorsement and says that all those involved should face legal action.
“Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them,” he said. “Horrible things would happen! The law was broken by Kamala and everyone who received (e)ndorsement money. All of them ought to face legal action!
“Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
