(11,885 posts)It was intended to raise legal defense funding , because he won't be running, and he'll pocket all the money donors give him, not use for any election. Just like he conned networks into showing this rerun of immigration made up crisis to use to accomplish this now, and all just another scam , an act from trump to use for his own personal gains by getting donors to give more with. He's reduced himself to a tv preacher begging for more money now. trump is nothing more than a infomercial spokesman salesman trying to get you to buy into his fantasy world, nothing more. He'll use all donors money for his legal bills.

(1,706 posts)it is a campaign speech and he should have to pay for the time.
Are the media networks going to give him free air time to campaign again?

(53,410 posts)It was not mentioned in the speech itself, but evidently the fine print in the donation request said it was for his re-election. So his team may have found a way around the illegality of it. And, of course they lied about what the money was for.
what a POS he is.
