Trump is on the take!

Donald Trump Slammed Candidates Taking Big Money, Then Became One Of Them

Republicans don’t seem to care about his big money flip-flop, but it’s a problem for independents — and donors.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE, Ohio — If a candidate solicits big money from special interests, that candidate is on the take.

Or so argued presidential candidate Donald Trump — the same Donald Trump who now, as the presumptive Republican nominee and despite that year-long stance, is nevertheless soliciting big money from those same special interests.

Developer Llwyd Ecclestone and his wife, Diana, gave the Trump “Victory” fund $768,000. Real estate investor Thomas Barrack gave $299,600, while casino magnate Phillip Ruffin kicked in $284,600.

Those donations were from May, when just 51 individuals giving a minimum of $19,600 contributed $3.1 million to Trump’s fund for transfer to the Republican National Committee, according to Federal Election Commission filings.

Trump has held additional big-ticket fundraisers since then, with more scheduled in the coming days and weeks. One set for the Wednesday before the nominating convention asks a minimum $25,000 per person, up to the legal maximum of $449,400.

The good news for the self-described billionaire is that his hard-core supporters do not seem to care.

Since Trump has been lying about his wealth - he apparently has to beg for money to stay in the race.

Yawn....you don't think Hillary is on the take?

 

[Katzndogz]

It's our daily dose of Trump. That army being paid to dig up or make dirt have to justify their paychecks somehow.

Trump being on the take proves his supporters have no principles after the way they have bashed Hillary.

 

[Lakhota]

Yawn....you don't think Hillary is on the take?

Yeah, but she never denied it like Trump.

ROFLMAO @ a Hillary supporter whining about others not having principles. You can't begin to make this up

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Yeah, but she never denied it like Trump.

You're just seeking attention....again. It's politics as usual and this isn't going to take down Trump.

Same old worn blubberings ,only the target has changed.

No, Trump's big mouth and lack of ethics or morals is what has already taken down Trump in the general.

Hillary is ethical and moral? Really? LOL

 

[Old Rocks]

I said "Trump's big mouth and lack of ethics and morals", I made no mention of Clinton. Perhaps you need to repeat the third grade?

Trump and his thug supporters have no honor or integrity. They are amoral hypocrites. Trump is on the take - but they don't care.

 

[Lakhota]

The Trump NaziCons love to bash Hillary for taking campaign money from special interest groups, but now they have no problem with Trump also being on the take. That's what Trump gets for lying about his wealth. He can't afford to fund his own campaign. Funny...

Boy, a Clinton vindication and an earth-shaking Trump scandal all in one day, eh?

Hillary "takes" about 350k each for a couple of 20 minute mystery speeches to Wall Street bankers and low information lefties think Trump is "on the take"?

Trump IS on the take. He's now begging for money - from any source. He says he doesn't get any credit for self-funding his campaign. Well, that's because he ISN'T. He's been freeloading off the media and is now opening begging for money. Hilarious...

Trump Used To Mock Candidates Who Took Big Money. Now He’s One Of Them.
