https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2016/08/donald-trumps-website-wont-let-you-cancel-recurring-donations.htmlJust like his Trump University, his investments in Atlantic City, his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, and basically his entire presidential campaign, it turns out that Donald Trumps campaign website looks like just another scam.
On Wednesday, CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond sent out this tweet noting that a supporter of Trump had emailed him to say that he couldnt cancel his recurring contribution on Trumps official campaign site.

On Thursday, Mic confirmed that, no, there is no button to undo your recurring payment to the Trump campaign. You cant delete the recurring payment. You cant even delete your credit card information (you can update it, but it has to be with a different valid card number). So you just keep paying Trumps campaign, we suppose, until the end of time.
Federal Election Commission spokesperson Christian Hilland told Mic that theres nothing illegal about this per se, that is until a persons automatic payments put her over the maximum contribution limit of $2,700.

This is what happens when you sleepy post...... Saw the August, missed the 2016. I'd bet dollars to donuts they're still doing this or something like it. Or maybe they're just continuing to send out those Mafia-esque texts and emails.

Anyways, totally unsurprising Needy Amin would be running a scam like this. Everything about the man is a con and a scam.
