US President Donald Trump is holding a fundraising event at his hotel in Washington, to raise cash for his 2020 re-election campaign.

Many were unhappy with the Republican healthcare plan, holding placards that said "Healthcare, not tax cuts".

Holding the fundraising event at Trump International Hotel has increased concerns about conflicts of interest.

1. He has no chance of winning a second term. I doubt if he finishes this one.

2. Getting a little ahead of himself??

It's all about money for him and this is just one more deplorable excuse...

[TexasBushwhacker]

10. He has to start funneling money to his personal accounts ASAP

He'll set up a campaign office in one of his properties and charge it exorbitant rent, hold fund raisers at his golf courses the same way. Grifters gotta grift.

3. Bullshit. It was a fundraiser for legal defense fees...

No way would he get a chance at a second term.

4. He going to need about a 100 million to stay out of Prison.

5. Correct.

The entire family needs money for legal fees. Iwanka for stealing shoe designs, Eeeeeeric for stealing from children;s cancer charity, and Donald Jr. for something or other. They are all crooks, it is a family tradition to scam others.

6. So, it is legal for them to use the donations

to fight prosecutions? If there are no charges, but dt is impeached, what happens to the money?

I wonder, can he use the leftover inauguration funds for his legal defense? That's about $50-60 million right there.

7. I'm sure he doubled the rate. NT

8. He'll just pocket the money. He won't run again

Impeach the treasonous turd now

[Flaleftist]

9. $35K per person.

Because that's the kind of thing a guy taking on the establishment for the working class does.
