Blogger Disobedient Media reports that Donald J. Trump has already filed with the FEC for the election in 2020. The reason this is both funny and important is that it puts a huge roadblock in the way of various left-wing non-profits that might otherwise use the next four years to engage in anti-Trump and anti-conservative political activity. Trump continues to outmaneuver the left.
More importantly, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations would no longer be able to engage in “political speech” which could theoretically affect the results of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election without running the risk of losing their nonprofit status. The move effectively bars interest groups from creating nonprofits which they could funnel money into for the purposes of opposing Trump’s initiatives. This will likely create chaos for political opponents of Trump such as George Soros, who has sunk significant amounts of money into various nonprofit groups with the intent of opposing Trump’s government.
