Regardless Of President Trumps statement I don't think those who got caught up in it were to happy.

gubamyster, if I recall correctly weren't you caught up in this?

Quote from article:

"Beginning last summer, Trump’s campaign and WinRed—the company that handled online donations—added pre-checked recurring payment boxes to online donations. Contributors weren’t aware that they had to manually uncheck the boxes unless they read the disclaimer. If they didn’t check the fine print, then contributors’ credit cards were charged weekly until the day of the election.

In the days before the election, the campaign “made that disclaimer increasingly opaque,” The Times writes, and even added a second pre-checked box that doubled the donation. Banks soon became “inundated with fraud complaints” from Trump supporters who didn’t realize they had agreed to recurring contributions."

Trump Campaign Reportedly Had to Return Over $122 Million to Supporters

No, I believe it was Freepersup.

I will say that I keep getting tons of texts & emails. They use Trump’s name, but I’m not sure if they are his or RNC, even though he told them not to use his name.

I attempted a few times to make a single donation but couldn’t figure out how to do so.

Definitely not too happy, especially since this was happening during the months when the USPS was not functioning proporperly. I got my November credit card statement after the December statement (at least five weeks late) so I was shocked to see that I had contributed to one candidate every week. I was outraged because I had been aware of the need to in check box, thanks to FreeRepublic. I guess I missed one.

I did get the money returned to my credit card but it was a hassle.

President Trump is uninformed if he thinks that people were not upset about this. He needs to get more input from ordinary people.
