From inflated crowd numbers and stories about Queen Elizabeth II’s good graces to beauty contests with Kamala Harris and AI endorsements from adoring Swities, it seems the Republican campaign just can’t get enough of itself.
In a move that perhaps recalls one of their top backers having turned Twitter into the world’s largest echo chamber, Trump insiders now claim to have shelled out just under $50,000 to run ads in and around Mar-a-Lago—apparently for the sole purpose of keeping both the presidential candidate and local donors in good spirits.
Though Palm Beach County is largely considered safely Democrat, Florida itself remains securely Republican, with the ads therefore highly unlikely to make much of a difference to the outcome of the election. As one source told The Bulwark, the purchase is “more about keeping the donors happy than the principal,” adding that “if it makes the boss happy, too, then good.”
