Trump says he could demand $10M from CNN to appear in next debate

The man considered by many to be the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination knows that he's a big draw -- and he says he could use that advantage to raise money for charity before the next debate. A whopping $10 million for charity, in fact.

[Harpotoo]

Socialist? You are making me laugh so hard I’m about to piss my pants:-)

[E. Pluribus Unum]

He’s giving it to charity. You appear to be a victim of the green-eyed monster.

[Calpublican]

Oh, stop. He wanted it for charity. He clearly said it and it is in the article.

[MinorityRepublican]

He’s doing it for money and to increase his “brand awareness.” If he was doing it to improve the country he wouldn’t joke about demanding money. This is an ego trip. And when he gets tired and moves on, the GOP race with be a withered shell.

Not only that but he's doing Bill a favor so in a three way race, Hillary wins by default.

Can you not see people are not concerned if or not Trumps a Rhino? ....There is no competition between Jeb and Trump because Jebs so completely weak both as a candidate and as a man. Trump is diametrically opposite.

Interesting is hearing men speak about Trump as I go about my day......the average guy loves Trump...he makes them feel like men again, not the weaklings the Liberals have pushed on them for decades now.

This is another reason I hope Trump continues...I see our men get hold of their manliness they’ve had ‘suffocated’...and it’s a wonderful sight I tell ya!

One of my favorite Trump memories was him shredding Wulf Blister several years ago and telling him “well you won’t be too embarrassed, there’s only 40,000 people watching your show”.

[caww]

So what if Trump is doing this....our fall guy is Cruz , though I hope actually Cruz gets the nomination, if Trump wins I’ll gladly vote for him as I believe he’ll have a very strong cabinet around him.

Amen! Trump is making it okay for men to be manly men, again :D

I love all the metros (like ¡Jeb!) that he’s mowing down in the process.

[Jane Long]

Charities are part of what #MakesAmericaGreat...don’t you agree?

[grania]

I guess that ends the charade that he's out to "make America great again"

HUH??? Trump doesn't want the money for himself. He wants CNN to give $10 million to charity. How much extra advertising revenue will CNN get because Trump's on that stage?

Another brilliant move. It's a win-win for Trump. (You know, "the deal")

[HarleyLady27]

Sorry bub, I asked YOU the question??? Don’t want people on here to know???

I’m voting TRUMP all the way!!!

[SpaceBar]

That's actually so stupid it's funny. Yeah. He's going to be hated by millions who trusted him, open himself up to lawsuits, anger corporate sponsors/donors, and set himself up for ridicule and disgrace, because once he bags from the race, he plans to make it all back and then some by selling Trump branded sport-coats and a line of men's cologne. It's so retarded it's funny.

[caww]

I don’t agree...if Trump goes third party Hillary’s history....the entire political climate has changed and will all the more before the election....Trumps revealing and exposing so much of the GOP’S fraud and deception there won’t be anything left of them when it’s time to vote.
In fact.....I do believe the GOP would gladly see Hillary win in order to retain their power.

Have you done any research besides what the media tells you:
-His business is based on big government cronyism
-Eminent Domain - Strongly supports Kelo - government can take private property for any reason - used it for his casinos.
-Supports single payer socialized medicine - more extreme than ACA.
-Supports heavily taxing the wealth - high taxes
-Long history of big government cronies
-Has no knowledge or respect for the Constitution

He is a socialist.

[nickcarraway]

You are so gullible. He is only saying this to feed his ego. He knows CNN will not pay him.

[nickcarraway]

He’s not that stupid . He knows CNN isn’t paying him. It’s about ego.

[nickcarraway]

He’s doing the GOPe a favor by destroying the Tea Party.

[edpc]

Yes, because he has already said he'd "police" the Iran deal, whatever that means. It's not a formal treaty, so he's under no real obligation to honor it. He's said he's taken over bad contracts before, but there's no real obligation here. I haven't heard him say what he would he would do differently about their nuclear ambitions. Here he is on Hannity:

However, all contracts -- I study contracts. I'm a -- I'm a -- you know, in golf, I say I'm a plus-five at contracts, OK? I study contracts. No matter how bad this contract is, I will make this contract be enforced to such an extent that they will not be able to do it. And then I will do things that you won't believe.

But -- but listen, it is so important that they not have nuclear weapons. The problem with this deal is they will have them, and all other surrounding countries are going to be forced to get them, too. You're going to have a nuclear holocaust.

I don't even know what that means. It's so vague and pladitudinal.

[nickcarraway]

Trump is about the most effeminate, unmanly presidential candidate I’ve ever seen. He acts like a shrieking hysterical teenage girl on a reality TV show. That is not manly. He is 180 degrees from john Wayne. He needs a testosterone patch stat.
