He doesn’t even have a website for his campaign. How do we donate?

I don’t know....I really don’t like the idea....maybe he’s trying it out to see what happens? If his ‘base’ is as solid as it says it is?

My guess is as good as yours....

The Donald understands the necessity of a vibrant middle class in this country. Not many other millionaires, much less billionaires, seem to get that important fact.

I never wondered for a minute if Trump would accept donations with strings attached. It almost doesn’t even need to be said.

He’s our man. But I still think he should flip the RNC the finger and go independent now, rather than waiting until the party bosses scroo him. Because that’s a lot of time to be made up it seems to me.

Sure, he has a campaign website: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/. And there's a big ol' donation tab, right up top. Right next to the "Shop" tab, too.

You'll notice that, in contrast to the "Donate" and "Shop" sections of the website, the "Positions" section is a bit lacking.

I am not sure this is a good idea.
He has bubbled to the top on his on dime and folks like to think he is and if elected obligated to no one.
Probably not as bad as I think it could be, but to me it is worrisome.

Donald trump America’s number 1 con artist. Here he is stating that he will not take anyone’s money and now he his recanted on this promise. What is the next promise to be broken Trump. Liar liar pants Afire. America has not learned yet from a thin skinned egotistical manaiac at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington DC. Now yet another con artist whom will buy the White House. I did not know it was for sale. Otherwise i would purchase it for 1 cent than tear it down!

I will tell you that our system is broken. I gave to many people, before this, before two months ago, I was a businessman. I give to everybody. When they call, I give.

And do you know what?

When I need something from them two years later, three years later, I call them, they are there for me.

So if I give to The Donald, he'd better be there for me when I call him. Right? The man said it himself - that's how it works, no?

When and where did Trump say he would not take anyone’s money? I’ve heard him say he’ll use his own money; that’s not the same thing as refusing to use anyone else’s money.

In fact, I have heard him say he never refuses money (not many rich people do).

“You know, the hedge fund guys didn’t build this country. These are guys that shift paper around. And they get lucky,” Trump challenged. “Look, they’re energetic. They’re very smart. But a lot of them, it’s, like, they’re paper pushers. They make a fortune. They pay no tax. It’s ridiculous, OK?”

Is that a.....tax hike...I smell?

Didn’t Barry Goldwater revert to Liberalism in his latter years? Was Barry just conning us in his former years?

Why go independent? I can think of another party who desperately needs a populist candidate.

You need to be a player. Not a piker.

The way you’re going on you sound like a bitter, jealous, piker. Not unlike John McCain. Are you two related?

He certainly doesn't need the money.

I'd like to see a Trump site called "Two dollars and "My Two Cents" to give Trump some ordinary input from us regular folks....just what we're thinking about most.
