Actually I did not criticize either per se. I just noted that Trump claimed he was going to self finance but didn't. Show me a statement I made otherwise.

This is just more TDS.

This is a practice of most politicians, but people like the OP are either ignorant or selectively outraged.

That's a Wapo OPINION article for the Trump deranged.

No proof at all that Trump organized it or will even be there.


It's another ORANGE MAN BAD article delivered by the cranks at WaPO.

Acting like a clown is just your biased description. He was showing enthusiasm unlike the disrespect the Left condones, which is kneeing or in the case of schools, trying to get rid of the national anthem altogether.

SCOTUS ruling on Citizens United v FEC in 2010 changed the game. It’s all about the money.

Not possible for any candidate to be elected without the Big $, unless self funding.

This issue here is that Trump criticized his opponents for fund raising and said he would self -fund and then did the opposite. Trump says a lot of things.

TDS is Trump supporters contorting themselves to praise anything Trump does. That is TDS

duh, Bloomberg has spent $300 million just for TV ads. He's just getting started, the rest of the Dem candidates have chump change. Bernie supporters will never support Bloomberg.

No, this is through millions of small donations from salt of the earth Americans. He has the largest number of donors in the history of the country. Meanwhile Bloomberg, one single person, can burn $400 million in a couple of months on ads and Trump, Biden and Buttigieg are running around begging Wall Street executives and the billionaire class for donations.

Sanders doesnt hold "dinner tables" or any fundraisers at rich people's homes. He's his own man.

This is a fight between the working man and regular families on the one hand and the entire establishment, the corporate media (owned by the 0.1%), the super rich, Wall Street, big pharma/insurance and the establishment of both parties, on the other hand.

And I already debunked your claim. Trump self financed in 2016 but never said 2020.
