An X/Twitter posted noted that Melania Trump was paid an exorbitant $240,000 to speak at a Log Cabin Republicans event. The money came directly from the Trump campaign fund adding that Trump uses donor money to pay his wife $240K to do something that other candidates’ spouses normally do for free. It’s all a grift.
Melania Trump has barely been seen on the campaign trail this year. One of the few times she has appeared at a political event, she’s received a six-figure paycheck – a highly unusual move for the spouse of a candidate.
The former first lady spoke at two political fundraisers for the Log Cabin Republicans this year, and she was paid $237,500 for an April event, according to former President Donald Trump’s latest financial disclosure form. The payment was listed as a “speaking engagement.”
It happened in 2021 as well…
