This is just bizarre.

When I first saw that pop up on Twitter, I thought it had to be fake. But it's not.

Someone needs to tell Trump's campaign that soliciting or receiving donations from a foreign national is an FEC violation.

Unbelievable. There is no bottom to be reached for that...object. He has zero instinct for international relations, and to go begging to the UK is simply jaw-dropping. At this rate, everyone in the U.S. will need to be issued a personal wheelbarrow in which to cart our lower jaws around.

I think it is the least they can do in return for all the spectacular golf courses he built over that employ tens of thousands of locals and has become a major part of their GDP.

Apparently the emails were sent by Junior, so I've adjusted the title to clarify that the emails were from and on behalf of the Trump campaign, but not from the candidate personally.

Oh--someone has reported it to the FEC. Lol--looks like Trump's 'campaign' is still not on the ball. They keep saying they're 'retooling' but it sounds like it is still just a bunch of tools.

"...Mullins-Silverstein, who has sent a letter of complaint about the solicitations to the FEC, said it matters little to him whether Trump’s people sent the emails on purpose.

“You should know who you’re asking these questions to,” he said of the donation requests..."

How obviously fake can you get ?

The woman is pro-EU.
She is willing to break up the UK to stay in the EU.

Obviously she was paid by the Dems or Soros to lie.

How gullible can some of you be ?
No offense...
