The very definition of irony.

    Whoā€™s to say that his org isnā€™t behind some of the scams? That way they get the donations without those pesky campaign finance regulations. Half joking, but I wouldnā€™t put it past him to be honest.

      That definitely shouldnā€™t be half a joke. Almost all American campaign fundraising is a joke and a scam. Not o mention the current laws protecting dark money and the massive loopholes for funneling money. Everything that shady ass campaign did with their fundraising and the hoards of thieves teeming in the halls of any and every trump campaign office, the only violation was him using a check to pay off a porn star. And that only had any repercussions because it was such a tawdry story with such stupid criminals openly admitting to their crimes on record. Likeā€¦I guarantee you way worse shit has been done with way more campaign cash. It just isnā€™t actually prosecuted (along with almost all other white collar crime in the US since the 80s).

      Oh, they are. This is just a way to ensure that he gets a ā€œcutā€ from all the other scammers, too.
