Former President Donald Trump has made headlines once again, this time for revealing his hefty demands from wealthy donors. During a recent gathering at a high-end hotel in New York, Trump reportedly told some of the GOP’s biggest donors that they would need to dig deep into their pockets if they wanted to support his 2024 campaign.
In a shocking revelation, Trump shared an anecdote about a businessman who offered $1 million to his campaign in exchange for a lunch meeting. Trump’s response? “You’ve got to make it $25 million.” This bold demand showcases Trump’s unapologetic approach to fundraising and his determination to secure significant contributions.
Trump also warned the donors about the potential tax increases they could face if Joe Biden is re-elected in 2024. He argued that generous donations to his campaign would be a worthwhile investment, as a Biden presidency could result in “the biggest tax increase in history.”
This is not the first time Trump has made such demands from donors. Earlier this month, he reportedly asked oil and gas industry executives to donate $1 billion, promising to roll back Biden-era environmental regulations in return. Trump’s tactics have raised concerns among legal experts, who suggest that his requests may be pushing the boundaries of campaign finance laws.
Despite facing mounting legal bills and struggling to sustain fundraising from his grassroots base, Trump remains determined to secure the financial support needed for a potential 2024 campaign. His bold demands and unapologetic approach to fundraising continue to make waves in the political landscape.
