22 sats \ 9 replies \ @Satosora 19 Jul \ on: Trump requests $844,600 for bitcoin conference attendees to join roundtable news
This is so crooked. He is just using the bitcoin collective, he doesnt actually care about anything bitcoin is about. Its so shameful that he is asking 850k to do a roundtable, but I guess that is just politics.

Nothing crooked about it. Just perfectly normal political fundraising that all candidates do. You pay a bunch of money, and you get special direct access.
Running a political campaign for president is enormously expensive. Every rally and event is not free: your campaign is covering the entire cost. The money has to come from somewhere.
Rumour is that the whole reason Trump held a rally outdoors – nearly getting killed in the process – was to save money on a venue. A field is cheaper than an enclosed stadium.

I feel it is crooked, and that is what matters. He gets more than enough funding, dont let him fool you.

The secret service told him to have only indoor events in the future.
He can have bigger crowds outdoors
