Lie, cheat, steal. Should be the motto of the MAGA Trump movement.
Trump makes sweeping promises to donors on audacious fundraising tourBy tying donation requests to pledges of tax cuts and other policies, Trump is testing the boundaries of federal campaign finance laws.As we have all seen, Trump has no regard for the law.
When Donald Trump met some of the country’s top donors at a luxurious New York hotel earlier this month, he told the group that a businessman had recently offered $1 million to his presidential effort and wanted to have lunch.
“I’m not having lunch,” Trump said he responded, according to donors who attended. “You’ve got to make it $25 million.”
Another businessman, he said, had traditionally given $2 million to $3 million to Republicans. Instead, he said he told the donor that he wanted a $25 million or $50 million contribution or he would not be “very happy.”
Seconds after promising the tax cuts, Trump made his pitch explicit. “So whatever you guys can do, I appreciate it,” he said.
In the days following the recent meeting with oil industry donors, executives discussed whether it would even be possible to meet Trump’s $1 billion request, according to four people in the oil industry familiar with the discussions.
But they are trying. Trump has repeatedly pressured oil magnate Harold Hamm to raise significant money for him, telling Hamm that he is “behind” and “needs the money,” according to a person familiar with the outreach. Hamm had an event for Trump in Texas on Wednesday, where the price of admission was about $250,000 for oil executives, according to people familiar with the matter.Sure, MAGAs, Trump is looking out for you. /s
If ever we had a POTUS candidate that was clearly for sale it's Trump.
SO MUCH CORRUPTION, and corruption is democracy poison.
