This is scary how they were able to find a check from 2011

$6k is it not enough to significantly influence an AG on a major investigation. It is small potatoes. Probably the minimum to go to the event. Going to the event gives you access which have a small influence. Nothing wrong here.

Trump was a New York Democrat before he ran on the Republican ticket. Even Oprah Winfrey said on her TV show, that more people should be like Trump.

Then, he ran for president on the Republican ticket, and I think they all feel betrayed more than anything else

The fact is MOST buisiness people donate to A LOT of campaigns in case they need A FAVOR in the future!!! The ENTIRE U.S. system is corrupt from the Government on down!!!

Trump gave money so that he could use that later if the person tried to take him down. This is not an elegant explanation, but I think the gist is there.

Something done many years ago that’s not big of a deal. OH NO!!!

[THEEck]

He’s a business man. They donate to everyone

[fletcherclausen]

6K ten years ago means basically nothing
Edit: I meant to a political campaign ten years later, it was spent and forgotten about. To the average person it is massive

Woa, so that's why he didn't face charges back then... I thought. Seems ridiculously cheap though.

Kamala was also supposed to prosecute Steve Mnuchin but refused. He should be sitting in prison but Kamala made sure he became treasury secretary...

This is why people don't vote pretty much rich people donate for favors

[emjay]

He said, she said. Dont trust agent 🍊!

[benitoloco]

Being attorney general at one point isn't the same as being vice president.

[FictionalPersonality]

This is what I love about Trump. He is an open book

[austindize]

[icecreambeats]

[dorothygillette]
