Related: About this forumNot even Trump kids donate to his campaign.. Guess who else???
No Ivanka. No Donald Jr. No Rudy, Newt, or Chris Christie. None of Trumps inner circle invested in his campaigneven as he asked working people for a few bucks
According to a review of Federal Election Commission filings by The Daily Beast, only one of Trumps children showed up on a list of itemized receipts for the campaign: Eric. On Sept. 7, 2016, Eric Trump appears to have contributed $376.20 listed only as meeting expense: meals. It appears that money was later refunded. Eric Trump did not respond to a request for comment about the transaction.
Ivanka Trump, who previously contributed to Hillary Clinton and John McCain in 2007 and 2008 respectively, does not appear to have given to her father.

(45,433 posts)in many ways. People who can't afford to donate, still donated thinking they will get some good jobs or something out of it. Many Trumpers actually think they are fighting the good fight against the GOP establishment, or the special interests, or the system, or whoever they think they are fighting against. They feel left behind by the modern economy and the other rapid societal changes in this country have bewildered them. They're hoping to at least "feel great again" but will be in for a deep and frustrating disappointment.
When they find out Trump and his buddies have also screwed them, there's no telling what they'll do. It's great if they tear the Republican party apart. But they probably won't stop there, or do it peacefully.

And, Ivanka gave to Hillary in 2008? Burn!
