There's one born every minute.
A man who donated $2.5m to help Donald Trump's crusade to overturn the elections is asking for his money back.
Fred Eshelman, the donor, is suing Houston-based "True the Vote Inc" for what he claims are "empty promises," Bloomberg reported. . .
Mr Eshelman supported the group under the pretense that they would find evidence of voter fraud. However, as their lawsuits failed - as have almost all of the lawsuits filed by supporters of Mr Trump in attempts to overturn the election - Mr Eshelman has decided he wants a refund.
He claimed that he "regularly and repeatedly" asked True the Vote Inc for updates on their initiatives, but was given "vague responses, platitudes, and empty promises."

(73 posts)7. My Gawd,
if Eshelman is rich enough, and able to give 2.5M like pocket change, believing Trump's claims of fraud, it is hard to even believe one became quite wealthy on his own merit and smarts for fuck sakes!
I wonder if the My Pillow guy gave any money?
