Donald Trump donated to Kamala Harris' campaigns twice while he was a private citizen, records show

  • Donald Trump contributed $6,000 to Kamala Harris when she ran for California attorney general.
  • Trump donated $5,000 to her 2011 campaign and $1,000 in 2013 as a private citizen.
  • Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race on Sunday and endorsed Kamala to replace him.

People forget that Trump wasn’t a Republican until like 2012. The only reason he ran Republican was that someone convinced him that was the only way he’d ever win. Remember, winning at all costs is literally the only thing Donald Trump cares about.

i’m skeptical. but i think i’ll enjoy spending the next 3 months thinking about republicans flying into a blind frothing rage over losing to a black woman

She’s not much better than Biden. She doesn’t even have age as an excuse.

Our imagination might be the only place she wins.

It would be more effective, the spreading of misery, if you went to the local pool and took a large shit in it. You could ruin several people’s day instead of like 3

Steve ,

You sell me short. I’ve got 15 down-votes already!
It’s not my fault if reality is miserable?

She’s not a forgone conclusion.
There’s a good chance for an open convention. Pelosi is pushing for one.

TrickDacy ,

Yeah but if you shit in the pool you could ruin like 40 people’s day.

Steve ,

At this rate, I’ll beat that in another 2 hours.
Got 20 down-votes now! Lets Go People!

Shut up, Steve

Honestly, he’s never been a Democrat or a Republican. Even now, if you go by what the Republican party was before he took it over. He’s always been a Trumpist, nothing more and nothing less. He cares solely, without exception, for one thing: Donald Trump.

Lost_My_Mind ,

Hey! That’s not true!!! You need to be fair here.

…he also loves Mcdonalds.

krashmo ,

I think he loves all hamberders equally

TrickDacy ,

Absolutely true but he will give these fucks what they want in exchange for adoration

ripcord ,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

Will he actually, though? Or just say he will?

I think the only way that could happen is if it just happened to be something he wanted.

TrickDacy ,

I read that the project 2025 people were ecstatic since he delivered on like 75% (or more?) of their policy goals for his first term. Roe v Wade wasn’t an accident, for example

Duamerthrax ,

Sounds like a modern Republican.

That’s not entirely true, his turn to republicans was a little sooner. Trump was the “Long Form Birth Certificate” guy all during the Obama years.

And…?

This is the best response when conspiracy nuts try to talk about the Trump shooter donating to a Dem PAC to prove he wasn’t one of their own.

Plus he donated in response to whether or not Dems should pardon Trump.

Lost_My_Mind ,

I think the better response, even if a democrat voter DOES do something like this in the future is “Yeah, ok, but it’s your policies that allowed him to get a gun so easily without any mental wellbeing checks, or any gun control. Our policies would have stopped him. Your policies gave him free reign.”

kent_eh ,

"Yeah, ok, but it’s your policies that allowed him to get a gun so easily without any mental wellbeing checks

That’s not an effective argument.

It wasn’t his gun, it was his father’s, and he took it without the knowledge or permission of the gun’s legal owner.

Fondots ,

Stricter storage requirements could have potentially have prevented this. Legally Pennsylvania doesn’t have any particular gun storage requirements, had his dad kept tighter control of his gun, perhaps to comply with a law mandating it be locked up and prevent his son from having access to it without his permission, it wouldn’t have happened.

OlinOfTheHillPeople ,

Isn’t that completely unproven, and likely a different person with the same name?

Assman ,
@Assman@sh.itjust.works avatar

Why is this even news? Nobody cared when he donated $100k to the Clinton foundation, nobody cares about this either

BigMacHole ,

So? This is NOTHING! But Thomas Crooks giving $15 to Democrats PROVES HE WAS ACTUALLY A DEMOCRAT!

DarkNightoftheSoul ,

that was a 60something with the same name who made the donation

ripcord ,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

Unless he lived at the shooter’s address, it supposedly wasn’t.

DarkNightoftheSoul ,

Huh. There’s a whole snope’s article on the subject. tldr; You’re right, apparently it was the shooter who donated.

kent_eh ,

Apparently not. The address of the donation matches the shooter, not the 60 year old.

But still, a donation so small that it’s about the same as a McDonald’s meal is hardly what I would call a screaming endorsement.

Nougat ,

Side note: He's a private citizen right now.

with immunity though.

catloaf ,

I was going to make a “just been revoked” joke, but I suppose someone tried that already.

d00phy ,

No that wasn’t Trump! He just let them license his name for the donation. He didn’t make that donation! He can’t be held responsible for the things people do in his name! That’s crazy talk!

Lost_My_Mind ,

Well, guess that means he just can’t take credit for other things than either. Trump never picked up a hammer, never worked on that wall. Guess Trump never built that wall. Someone else just did it in his name…So I assume his base will be angry over the news that Trump failed to build them that damned wall. But that’s his problem.

d00phy ,

You libs and yer damn logic! When will you ever learn people don’t care about all that nonsense!

Wiz ,

Sorry, Trump. No takesy-backsies!

homesweethomeMrL ,

All these gruesome pictures of trump need to be marked NSFW.
