The Lincoln Project—the scandal-plagued anti-Trump organization that spectacularly failed to stop President Trump's historic 2024 victory—is still operating like a personal ATM for its leaders, new campaign finance records reveal.
Despite their complete failure to prevent Trump from reclaiming the White House, these Never-Trump grifters continued routing hundreds of thousands of dollars from their gullible donors straight into firms owned by the organization's leadership. And now they want even more—demanding another $100 million to continue their losing streak.
This is the same Lincoln Project that promised to stop Trump but instead delivered him an even more decisive victory than 2016. Yet somehow, the leaders are still getting rich off their failures while ordinary donors get fleeced.
The Grift That Keeps on Giving
The Lincoln Project has become a masterclass in how Never-Trump Republicans can profit from resistance theater. While hardworking Americans donated their hard-earned money believing it would make a difference, the organization's founders were busy writing themselves checks.
Co-founder Rick Wilson and his cronies have turned opposing Trump into a lucrative business model—one that enriches themselves regardless of their political effectiveness. In fact, their political failures might actually be good for business, since it means they can keep the outrage machine running indefinitely.
"These people are nothing more than con artists in suits, exploiting anti-Trump sentiment to line their own pockets," said one former Republican strategist who requested anonymity.
The timing couldn't be more pathetic. As President Trump begins his second term with a clear mandate from the American people, the Lincoln Project is essentially admitting they need $100 million more to continue their failed mission.
Patriots See Through the Scam
Real conservatives have long recognized the Lincoln Project for what it truly is—a grift operation masquerading as principled opposition. While Trump delivers on promises like border security, energy independence, and draining the swamp, these Never-Trump profiteers continue enriching themselves off manufactured outrage.
How many more election cycles will it take before their remaining donors realize they're funding someone else's retirement plan rather than any meaningful political change? The Lincoln Project's greatest success isn't stopping Trump—it's proving that in Washington, failure pays better than success.
