While I don't like Donald Trump, this is disgusting.

And Trump has raised tens of millions of dollars through a scam

Ahaha I actually thought it was real, I had seen an ad for this on skype like 3 days ago.

He just imitates his grande master. By smaller numbers.

This is hardly disgusting. No one is really harmed by this since their money would be misused either way. A scammer used a scammer to take from fools.

[Seriously?]

I'm pretty sure it's against the law for someone to do this. Whether you like the candidate or not.

This guy should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for robbing people's political free speech.

I'm fairly sure that free speech has nothing to do with this. It doesn't look like he broke any laws, he just gamed the system.

Campaign contributions are political free speech. This is a deceptive practice. I am shocked that the Trump campaign or a state AG haven't gone after these frauds yet.

^ Because they know they're essentially doing the same thing already.  Raising millions of dollars from poorly educated (and therefore poor, by and large) people, then funneling that money into the Trump Organization (for "services" to the campaign).

Can we stop with the "Trump supporters are poor" meme, it's blatantly false.

I don't really care either way; that wasn't particularly the point I was making about Trump's scampaign.
