    Weird…

    So you think trump and all the rubes are lying about donating him money?

    Like. Yeah, trumo lies about most things, but you think he convinced millions of idiots to claim they donated money to him, but not actually donate?

    It’s trump…

    Why would he ever want people to not give him money?

    Like, I’ve never heard anyone call into his question that trump gets money from poor dumb people…

      Just sayin’.

      This was not an official document. It would be much easier to get 40 rich dudes who stand to make bank off his election to write checks and just claim it was small donations.

        By all means, do t take a politicians word on anything.

        But like, a bunch of poor people definitely give money to trump, it’s his bread and butter.

        He gets plenty from large so it’s too, it’s just weird someone would act like he doesn’t get any

        And small donations still get tracked, campaigns are responsible for not accepting anything over the limit, so there are rules about tracking.

        Now, if you wanted to argue that they’re doing some kind of straw donation scheme where a wealthy person gives money to friends so they can donate…

        Yeah, that can happen, and kind of what bundling is but there’s access and Influence to the bundler at play too. Like, if a business associate you want a deal with asks you to bundle implying it helps the odds of a deal or something.

        That’s plausible.

        But there’s still a bunch of idiots that donate to trump every pay period.
