Not yet, but I have no issues with Americans donating. I have issues with corporations or unions donating.

Trump doesn't want to spend a big chunk of his money for the campaign. He has the money, but doesn't want to overspend for the amt that is needed to properly run a campaign. So far he has been getting by without spending a lot. Donors will be contributing. Not just people - but PACS and corporations. Watch and see.

He already mentioned in a speech maybe a week or two ago that he would take campaign money from givers, although he doesn't need it.

Yes. But I have said in the past, from now on I refuse to give a candidate money until they make it to my primary. I'm not giving money so Iowa and New Hampshire can keep knocking out candidates I like before I get to vote.

Corporations and unions are nothing more than groups of people.

He has proved that he is a financial genius. Yesterday CNN and MSNBC cameras were fixated on an empty podium for half an hour waiting for Trump to appear. All for nothing. I don’t think they have not done that for Obama.

Does Trump want to repeal Citizens United and implement a fixed sum tax credit for every worker who want to donate to a political campaign?

Hey a Trump Tee Shirt is easy to do at $ 20.00 and he makes a buck or two maybe. Great size selection for the little Trumpeters and the big guys too. It's available and I don't make a dime telling you about it.

You are part of the problem. This is why our political system is so corrupt and how corporations and unions control everything.

A corporation is not the same as Bob Carter. A union is not the same as Bob Carter.

Basically what you get is someone in charge deciding how to donate the corporation's money or union's money, which is why there is so much anger within the organization.

If you light a business on fire, you aren't charged with murder if there were no humans were inside.

Do you mean "I don't think they would have done that for Obama"?

Maybe because President Obama (and every other politician) actually shows up?
