Foreign officials are complaining that they're being "bombarded" by fundraising appeals from US presidential candidate Donald Trump. "Donald J. Trump's presidential campaign committee is violating black-letter federal law by sending campaign fundraising emails to foreign nationals", Paul Ryan, deputy executive director of the Washington-based Campaign Legal Center, wrote in a statement announcing the complaint.
So far, his effort has both shown promise and hit speed bumps. According to the latest reports, she raised about $26.4 million in May. An example of an email sent to Global News soliciting money for Donald Trump's presidential campaign. The mogul is trying to build out his once-lean campaign operation with experienced hands.
So much so that the House of Commons is working on finding a way to block the emails from coming in. "Let's prove her wrong by raising another $10 million by MIDNIGHT, JUNE 30th". Mr Trump's campaign, fresh from a visit to Scotland last week, apparently also has sent solicitations to foreign politicians. Another fundraising pitch sent to the same account last week was signed by the candidate himself.
"We're here to fight side by side with Hillary Clinton". "Quite why you think it appropriate to write emails to United Kingdom parliamentarians with a begging bowl is for your father's repugnant campaign is completely beyond me", MP Natalie McGarry, who represents Glasgow East, wrote in response to a missive from Donald Trump, Jr. I didn't ask my supporters for a single dime. In reaching out to British MPs in particular, Trump's team isn't courting a particularly sympathetic audience.
The Associated Press reported earlier this month that Trump has "about 30 paid staff on the ground across the country", compared with hundreds for Clinton. Words such as "fool" and "buffoon" were used to describe Trump. "All campaigns rent potential donor lists from vendors", she said in an email.
There have been other complications with Trump's online fundraising. Bennett and Thompson said they could imagine ways for Trump to raise big online. However, it remains unclear whether the "Trump" email was real or fake. "So we've been doing project work for them and we're going to hopefully keep doing stuff for them in the future".
She pointed out that if all of Trump's 9 million Twitter followers did so, he would blow past the $1 billion that Clinton and her allies are expecting to amass. "Harris has been in the vanguard among Republicans trying to tap into social media and the viral powers of the Internet to amplify a candidate's message", the Politico writers wrote.
Given Trump's repeated insistence that this is a done deal, it is not clear why his campaign won't release the paperwork yet. "If it's a knowing and wilful violation, it could be criminal", he said. Time will tell on that... but one thing is for sure - if he's such a good businessman, shouldn't it be easier for The Donald to, ya know, make a little more money for this thing?! I talk to reporters.
