Former President Donald Trump has charged up to $ 4,995 for the chance to see him deliver a motivational speech at a rally, Axios reported.
The events, which attract thousands of his supporters, are hosted by the American Freedom Tour, according to Axios.
Trump has not yet announced his candidacy for president in 2024, but has signaled a potential candidacy. The former president’s rallies also served as a barometer of his popularity among conservatives and could help him maintain momentum for a possible campaign.
During a tour of the American Freedom Tour in March, for example, Trump promised to return to the White House in 2024.
“With the support of everyone in this room, we will get the House back, we will get the Senate back and we will get our country back, and then most importantly in 2024 we will get our beautiful White House back,” he said, addressing a crowd. by protesters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Chris Weidner, founder of the American Freedom Tour, told Axios that “most of all our speakers receive royalties for the event.” Widener did not reveal to Axios how much AFT pays Trump to speak at these events.
Trump is due to speak at another rally on the American Freedom Tour on Saturday.
Rally participants can pay $ 9 to watch the event on a television screen in an overflow room, according to the AFT website. For the $ 4995 presidential package, participants in the rally can attend a reception and take pictures with Donald Trump Jr.
Above the presidential package is the patriot, for whom the price is not announced on the site. The patriot package includes a chance to take a picture with Trump after watching his speech from the very front of the stage, according to the AFT website.
The AFT told Axios that the rallies were not a political undertaking, saying it was “not a Republican-style event or an operation aimed at Trump.”
The AFT website described Trump’s speaking partnership with the organization as “a celebration of faith, family, inalienable rights, and God-given American freedoms.”
“Never before have America’s biggest conservative insiders and influential people gathered for an event to unite an entire nation of muffled voices,” the event said. “At a time when so much media and government is tearing down America and its people, the American Freedom Tour is celebrating America and what makes us great.”
