Super PAC supporting Trump shuts down
A super PAC with ties to Donald Trump's presidential campaign is shutting down in an effort to put an end to building questions about the closeness of the two operations. The "Make America Great Again" super PAC, which had been collecting donations to support Trump's presidential candidacy, will stop its fundraising activity, according to Mike Ciletti, who formed the group in Colorado in July.
Ciletti mentioned, "the focus should be on the issues and candidates." He added, "People are making an issue out of me knowing people on the Trump campaign as somehow that is newsworthy." "Personally I support Mr. Trump, otherwise I would not have started the super PAC." However, to honor Mr. Trump's wishes, Ciletti states, "I am closing my super PAC and will wait for the primary to reach Colorado to have an impact on the race."
Mr. Trump routinely says that he is funding his own race, and that while people are offering him “millions,” he doesn’t want to accept it. In addition to Trump's disavowel, he asked all donations made to them be returned to the donors, and he called on all of the candidates to do the same thing and disavow their super PACs.Read more:

I guess Trump is trying to show that he's not greedy in order to gain votes.
ReplyDeleteI reeeally hope Trump will not become president. He does not seem like a good example. I don't see how kids can look up to him or want to be like him.
ReplyDeleteTrump seems to be trying to show that he isn't selfish and all about the money, by giving back donations to downers. It's ironic though in a funny way, I mean a business man giving up millions of dollars of support money. Even though I agree that he could improve America's economic state, I disagree with his ideas and view of change in America.
ReplyDeleteThis is slightly funny. Trump is a really successful billionaire so he tells his donors that he doesn't need their money. Then he thinks the other candidates should do the same. Not everyone is a billionaire Mr. Trump!!
