Trump campaign: Send us $1 and we'll scroll your name during State of the Union live stream
"After initially asking donors to send at least $35 in exchange for having their names scrolled during a live stream of the president's speech, the Trump campaign later send out an email solicitation saying only one dollar would do.
"Even if you choose to only give $1, the proof of your support will send shockwaves around the world as they see every American who proudly stands behind our President," said the pitch signed by the president's son, Eric Trump. "
The fundraising technique is raising eyebrows from ethics watchdogs, who say the unprecedented attempt to raise money off an official White House event crosses a line.
'Donald Trump is commercializing and corrupting yet another national institution, making this just the latest disgraceful degradation by Trump of the presidency and our public institutions,' said Robert Weissman, president, Public Citizen."
America's con artist is at it again, using what is called for in the US Constitution to raise money for his next campaign.
Like everything he touches, Trump degrades and corrupts even this traditional Constitutional requirement.
Shame on Trump and everyone connected with this abomination.
