This was raised by wealthy donors at a $1,000 (minum) a plate dinner.

The corruption is a feature for these people.

The mental gymnastics his average supporter has to go through to keep supporting him must be exhausting.

can you imagine what $2 million dollars could do for people who need things, like housing and clothing and food?! can you imagine what $2 million dollars could do for people who didn’t share/sell/keep the secrets of an entire nation? 🙃

And what would have been really sad about this is that I would bet a sizable portion of the peoplepwho donated are people who could use that help. But they got conned. Again.

This is absolutely disgusting, but as they say, never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups…

For fuckin real. It’s no wonder there is a never-ending stream of politicians and media personalities lined up to push these agendas even though they are patently insane.

Taking other people’s money is something Trump has always excelled at.
