This pains me to admit...but quite frankly I'm reluctant to donate to the Trump campaign. Donations are public record, and I'm afraid of retribution. I'm just wondering whether anyone else shares this same reluctance.
I was reluctant to contribute since every mailer, ad or plea had the RNC knee deep in the organization. I finally have made contributions to (Donald J. Trump for President INC.) only because it was the only mailer without the RNC hanging their hat on. Who knows, maybe they still get their hooks in there, but I hate the thought of the RNC using money intended for the Presidents campaign going to the likes of the RINO’s like Mittens.

Full disclosure...I’m in academia.
Exactly!! Don’t be
A
Pussy!!
Stand for something!!! You’re country is worth it!
Thousands have died for our country, .so you can give a few bucks.
I’m in academia too & I’ve given 5x to Trump!
Not trying to be a hero, but geez get a backbone.
If they would ever retaliate, lawyer up & own them!
How you vote is already on record. When I did calls for the GOP in Illinois, the contact spread sheet listed every registered voter in my district and how the voted going back quite a few years.
I have not donated yet, but will shortly.
In the past I mailed a check directly to his NY office and it was accepted.
I did make the payee to be the campaign.
You’re deep behind enemy lines, all right.
That is a difficult spot to be in. I just checked and I show up at https://www.fec.gov/introduction-campaign-finance/how-to-research-public-records/individual-contributions/
So if anyone looks the info is there.
Could you have a relative donate for you?
At some point you have to take a stand. When will that be?
I intentionally gave more than 200 bucks so it would show up on the FEC site. $230, for that matter - one for each vote to impeach him, on the day of his impeachment.
Am I aware it could put me at risk? Yes.
But I am also late middle age, and pretty much have no f-cks to give anymore.
Bring it on, I’m done.
I’m sure you can mail them a check. It is a sound strategy.
There is an option to mail a check to an address. No credit card required.

No problemo, do what the Chicom agents and Soros operatives do. Donate from the library using a phony name and money card you bought for cash. The bad guys do it hundreds of thousands of time in small money amount donations to the DemocRATS... likely using automated bots.
Sadly, this is not really sarcasm. The bad guys are doing this.
I’m going to be perfectly honest...I appreciate all your candor. I suppose I’m looking for a pretty good kick to the rear to get past this (or I wouldn’t have posted). But I’m also genuinely interested in the survey aspect of this post...and I’m glad that this fear of retribution isn’t as much of a factor as I had expected.
I don’t give a flip who knows that I support President Trump! I proudly donated twice now and I’ve never donated to a presidential campaign in my life before. I have a friend who is making me some TRUMP 2020 face masks and if I am forced to wear one, I’ll be donning that one! I dare anyone to challenge my right to do this. The bullies will NOT have power over me.

Keep quiet. My wife works for the government and it is a bad time to be a conservative. But schools are worse.
I donated to the campaign back in 2016 (and now of course) and haven’t had any negative repercussions. But I live in a red state.
And be prepared for lots of mail and emails; they’ll be your new best friend!
You could get a one time use card at most drug stores. It’s like a prepaid credit card.
