This time, the Trump campaign is starting a new political action committee, one they hope will rival the most influential political action committees of both parties.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first Make America Great Again PAC. In 2015, Trump ally Leslie Caldwell founded the first Make America Great Again PAC, but it was a super PAC. Super PACs are political action committees with less fundraising restrictions, which allow large corporate donors to give millions of dollars to campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>While then-candidate Trump campaigned promising to drain the swamp, he had no interest in having a super PAC attached to his campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuper PACs are a disaster, they\u2019re a scam,\u201d President Trump stated. \u201cThey cause dishonesty and you better get rid of them, because they are causing a lot of bad decisions to be made by some very good people, and I\u2019m not blaming these folks, but I guess I could.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>President Trump had the Make America Great Again super PAC shut down in 2015, the same year it was founded. The new Make America Great Again PAC will allow the Trump campaign to fundraise more money than a single presidential campaign, and help his allies running for congressional seats.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">1\/ NEW: Donald Trump\u2019s 2020 presidential campaign committee has a new name and new designation.

This means the money going towards the Make America Great Again PAC will contribute to a pool of money, primarily raised by everyday citizens who support President Trump and his policies. Now these same supporters will have a place to individually contribute up to $5,000 a year to a MAGA PAC.<\/p>\n<p>This could stand toe-to-toe with the super PACs and dark money groups, which control many politicians on Capitol Hill and currently in the White House.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou better get rid of the super PACs because they\u2019re causing a big problem with this country, not only in dishonesty and what\u2019s been going on, but also in a lot of bad decisions that are being made for the benefit of lobbyists and special interests,\u201d President Trump stated.<\/p>\n<p>This latest rebranding by the Trump campaign will look to combat the \u201cswamp\u2019s\u201d biggest advantage, their money.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sen-warner-appropriate-to-keep-capitol-hill-security-precautions-in-place\/\">Sen.
