The Most Compelling Aspect of the Trump Campaign is a Lie

I hate attention whores.........AND LIARS

I find it commendable that Trump has not taken anonymous, dark money to date.

So what's your point in trying to drive traffic to this totally unknown website when the content of his article totally discredits the intent of the title?

I don't just look at the tweets. What the Cruz, Rubio and Paul campaigns all relied on was the CNN broadcast which has been posted here many times with even written transcript.

Trump Continues to Tell the Myth That He Is Self Funding His Campaign

Donald Trump May Be A Self Starter, But He Is Not Self Funding

Trump Not Exactly Self Funding His Campaign

There are literally pages of references on this.

Donald Trump is loaning his campaign money.

The money is coming from Donald Trump.

How is this hard to understand?

Donald Trump is being reimbursed from campaign donations. That is not self funding.

in an early rally Trump said he was self funding through primary at least, or some similar to those words. I have no clue which rally it was, but I wondered myself how much of his campaign he would financially cover and how he would cover it, so I was glad for part of answer to my wondering.

I truly don’t have an issue if Trump put up seed money and is receiving small and medium donations from people willingly donating.

I do not like PACs and such that individuals/businesses/lobbists give huge sums essentially buying the candidate, for favors later, like other candidates use.

I also don’t like if any tax payer monies are funneled to campaigns in any way.

Trump IS self funding...your absurd blog post proposing otherwise is just horse hockey. Again.....EVERYTHING HAS TO BE DETAILED ON FEC FORMS. Jeez.

(Unless it’s a CRuz GS loan...lol. Trump is not that amateur, to think you can get away with NOT reporting items, on FEC forms, unlike CRuz.)

If CRuz is such dear friends with Dr Carson and his wife....why didn’t he simply call Carson directly...or text...to confirm if Ben was actually getting out?

To blame it on a CNN report is dirty....especially considering that his campaign ‘mastermind’ (LOL!), Jeff Roe has pulled this dirty ‘campaign has been suspended’ cr@p before....you know...on the poor chap who later killed himself :(

Not a good associate to have...for a Christian...(since CRuzer’s always like to bring up the CRuz is holier than thou’s candidate nonsense.)

Whatever. You know I was referring to Cruz.

No, that was my mistake. I thought you were talking about Trump, and I cannot think of a single instance where Trump has outright lied. My apologies for the misunderstanding.

Trump is not making a profit. The small donations pay for his jet fuel and such used in his campaign, which is very expensive. The political hacks spend probably in a day what Trump spends in weeks. Trump takes in peanuts and uses the piddling cash he gets to subsidize his travel. To say he is making a profit is a bold face lie.

This is just another go 'round that appears every few days to clog up the forum with Trump hate. How many times will we have to see this exact same smear.... another thirty or so as the campaign drags on.

>>>”So you are not just reporting what someone else wrote, but are standing behind it..”

It’s just not a self-funded campaign as Trump claims.

>>”...and trying to argue that there is some deep issue here.”

As I said before: “Each can weigh the profundity of this issue for his or her self..”

....”donations pay for his jet fuel and such used in his campaign”....to subsidize his travel.”.....

Oh well then he's not entirely self funding his campaign ‘ride’ to the White House after all.....

So in other words....it's ok then that the buses, and gas etc. hotel accommodations etc. that other candidates use wouldn't be considered outside funding either.... As you know the ground was never a level playing field as for any of these candidates....for none of the candidates have private jets, or personal hotels, nor the wealth Trump has to run a campaign...his distinct advantages are nothing more than a wealthy man "paying" for the priviledge of running.

Frankly I don't want to see it where only the wealthy can afford to run......

Cruz didn’t know about the CNN report until late in the evening. As soon as he found out, he called Carson.

Jeff Roe is innocent, as well.

You get paid to do this? Even worse, you do it for free?

No apology needed! I wasn’t offended (though I did confuse you with someone else).

I’ve never seen Trump lie, either. One my Top 3 reasons that he’s my choice for president.
