Much anticipated in the Monday dump of PAC disclosure forms was the one from Donald Trump’s Save America PAC. Rob Pyers of California Target Book did a deep dive into the PAC’s filing and found some interesting tidbits, the least of which is the fact that the Save America PAC had $5.6 million on hand after distributing about $31 million to affiliates and spending $20 million on operating expenses.
One of those expenses seems a little excessive for someone who hasn’t set foot on the campaign trail this cycle: $108,000 over the last six months for Herve Pierre Braillard, Melania Trump’s personal hair stylist, paid for “strategy consulting.” That’s $18,000 per month. $600 per day. I’m sure their small-dollar donors can relate.
