Major GOP Donors Are Asking Trump for Their Money Back

Source: NBC News

Two big-money donors who have given or raised tens of thousands of dollars to Donald Trump are livid at the Republican presidential nominee and are asking for their money back, according to emails obtained by NBC News from a bundler who had raised money for Trump.

"I cannot express my disappointment enough regarding the recent events surrounding Mr. Trump," one donor wrote to a Trump fundraiser in an email with the subject line "Trump support withdrawal."

"I regret coming to the Trump support event, and in particular allowing my son to be a part of it," the donor, who had given to and raised money for Trump, said. "I respectfully request that my money be refunded."

Senior Trump spokesman Jason Miller said the campaign is "unaware of any donors making such a request."

...a daughter or a wife or a mother is not a reason to be outraged by Trump.

Being a human being is.

You propped him on the national stage to spew all his bile, knowing full well what he was about.

You should be forced to pay tenfold damages to the American people.
