The Comedian :D User ID: 45187126 United States 05/04/2016 09:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Trump fan but i don't like this. we will see how this plays out. he is worth 10 billion so whats the big deal, I don't even have 10,000. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70447432 Apparently he's loves America but not enough to spend 10% of his wealth to make America great again. Fuck you, parasite. I'm happy to pitch in. Him standing forth and taking all the barbs and arrows from you cunts is enough of a contribution on his part.

AC User ID: 72155348 United States 05/04/2016 10:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Mr. Trump 100% self funded through the primaries. After Mr. Trump wins the nomination a bunch of other stuff automatically kicks in and money from some general funds will be available. Any new money should be no strings attached, or I am sure he will not accept it. He mentioned this out front and early on. I think he only talked about it once or maybe twice. But he stated this would be a part of the process quite a while back. I am sure that if the RNC don't come through with extra dollars, Trump will kick in for the rest. He already put up 36 million and somebody like Jeb! would have already hovered up about 250-350 million from private donors that expected a payback to get him the nomination. Jeb! or Cruz would have been bought and paid for at this point. While on the other hand, Mr. Trump is still his own man. I don't see that changing. |

s. d. butler User ID: 974819 United States 05/04/2016 10:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.wsj.com] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72064164 Donald Trump won’t self-fund his general-election campaign, and will instead create a “world-class finance organization,” the presumptive Republican nominee said in an interview on Wednesday. For a campaign expected to cost more than $1 billion, “I’ll be putting up money, but won’t be completely self-funding, as I did during the primaries,” Mr. Trump said on Wednesday. The New York businessman, who did receive some mostly small unsolicited donations, lent his campaign $36 million of the $47 million he spent through March. That plan represents a shift for Mr. Trump, who has for months portrayed his Republican opponents as “puppets” for relying on super PACs and taking contributions from wealthy donors that he said came with strings attached. I heard him say he used his money to buy favors from politicians so now he will turn around and sell favors eh? Gee, don't see anyone comment about this. Wonder why *coughs* sheeple getting played *coughs* Gee, what he did say is that as a businessman he had to court politicians because the system is corrupt. To get anything done it was necessary. So *cough* here is a comment. |
ArmageddonIsHere User ID: 71049210 United States 05/04/2016 10:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don;t believe this but I heard on Fox this morning that the general campaign could cost as much as 9 billion dollars to run against Hilary. Same topic: Donald Trump was as caught off guard by the sudden end of the Republican race for GOP nominee as everyone else was. Now he has a long, hard road ahead of him which will cost some major dollars. Democrats have deep pockets, so he's going to have to work hard to compete. redstatewatcher /article.asp?id=18070 |

We’ll need to see who gives him money before we can characterize him as a puppet. If he gets a lot of smaller donations from a lot of people I don’t see a problem. We rally can’t expect him to shell out only his own money for this. So true, he's already stated that he won't even take pay when he takes office. An election costs money, and Trump may take donations, but he certainly won't be bought. I wouldn't make a huge issue over it. I still don't believe that Trump will be controlled by establishment money, but an election costs far too much...which is ridiculous to begin with. There should be laws that establish limits on funds during an election. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70447432 Apparently he's loves America but not enough to spend 10% of his wealth to make America great again. Donald Trump does not need to be doing this. All he has gotten is a tremendous amount of death threats, 60,000 attack ads and hundreds of thousands of hours of negative comments from so called journalists. He will have to give up just about everything he has earned and enjoyed and lock himself in the white house for the next 4 to 8 years. He could be, and at his age and with what he has accomplished in his life, he should be, jetting around the world and enjoying the easy life at one of his properties. But no, he is willing to give all that up for his country... and you are not happy that he won't shell out a billion dollars for the privilege of helping you. GFY. Both of you can GFY. A billion dollars of tax money and donations is nothing compared to what we owe him for what he has already done... he has just wiped out the Republican establishment who is wholly owned by the NWO. He has just thrown politically correct out the window. He has just loosened the chains around the hands and feet of every American and is the best chance we have had in 100 years to completely unlock them. I say we need to come up with 10 billion dollars... or more. We need to counter every move the opposition makes by a factor of 10. Trump 2016! Have a nice day = GFY. GFY = Go Fuck Yourself. If this offends you then have a nice day. |
