Yes, it is.

Okay, since this is a serious question, I'll take a shot at answering it.  First, let me repeat your question:

Quote from: Timber Rattler on July 08, 2023, 12:39:01 pm
So why does Trump need contributions for his campaign?  I thought that was supposed to be part of his appeal, that he was self-funding and could not be bought, being a billionaire

Trump never claimed he doesn't want or appreciate help funding his campaign; quite the opposite.  He doesn't, however, sell influence or ownership of the Oval Office that too often comes with accepting contributions from special interest, large donor contributors.   Money needed above the small dollar donations from his millions of supporters is on him.

It's one of the reasons he's frugal and gets the job done at a lower overall cost.   :laugh:

His supporters know this and are happy to help.

How does any of this differ from what I said in my answer?


If Trump is truly rich as he says he wouldn't need money for campaign. Correction his legal defense fund.


However knowing Trump his campaign will be broke by fall if he is the nominee.

Just like he did running government?

I would never put the word frugal next to Trump.

So the question is, who is the Norman Hsu of the Trump campaign, using unsuspecting individuals as fronts for wealthy or illegal donors?

Sending money to a billionaire makes no sense.

Trump does not need, nor want, our money; but, he's willing to take it from those gullible enough to give it.

I personally don't see an actual contradiction between his public statements, and his willingness to accept small donations from individual citizens.

However, the dude did accept -- in 2016 and 2020 -- all sorts of donations and support from various conservative and business organizations that he now claims are somehow tainted when they support someone other than him.  So he's definitely a two-faced hypocrite when it comes to them.

Neither do I.  However, I do have a problem when the small donations from these individual citizens, earmarked for his Presidential campaign, are instead used to pay his legal bills.

Exactly - he is going to be swamped by democrat fundraisers, and he will endorse political novices with fringe personalities, while indulging in his own conspiracy theories.  The polling is a mirage, just as it was for his senate candidates.
