Are you OK with Trump using your tax dollars to campaign?

[Airyaman]

Trump flies all around the country in AF1 to campaign, but that's the least of what I'm talking about. Trump appears to be trying to use the government he heads to fund his own campaign efforts. Examples:

Now in Government Food Aid Boxes: A Letter From Donald Trump

Democrats say the letter violates the law against using government resources to campaign. It’s just the latest example of President Trump using his office to boost his reelection hopes.

www.propublica.org

Trump has a letter in food boxes provided by the USDA that is basically a campaign ad. Those food boxes are funded by tax dollars, not his campaign.

‘It’s like every red flag’: Trump-ordered HHS ad blitz raises alarms

Staffed in part by associates of a longtime GOP operative, the ad campaign includes CeCe Winans, Dennis Quaid and others pushing an optimistic line about coronavirus.

www.politico.com

Trump's admin yanked $300M from the CDC to fund an ad campaign that gives a rosy assessment of Trump's handling of COVID-19. That's $300M funded by tax payer dollars, not his campaign. And that's $300M that the CDC will not have in battling this pandemic.

Trump promises seniors $200 prescription drug gift certificates, but questions abound

Trump pledged to send $200 prescription drug coupons to 33 million Medicare beneficiaries “in the coming weeks,” a nakedly political ploy to curry favor with seniors.

www.statnews.com

Now this one is not clear as to how it will be funded, but it will not be funded from his campaign. Yet, it is naked attempt at buying the votes of seniors right before an election. Almost $7B will be needed so Trump can buy the votes of seniors.

So tell me Trumpsters, are you OK with Trump using tax dollars for his campaigning efforts?

(It's a rhetorical question, I already know the answer, but it will still be fun to read your responses)

Didn't Obama do the same thing?

They don't care. Nor do they care that Obama allowed the Clintons to do the same, using all of the resources that he could provide.

Is that true? How about the stupid IRS letter and check Trump needed to put his name all over? Want to take a trip to Atlantic City and see how awesome his casinos are doing too? Grifter in chief d

Oborosen with his typical complaint response that is devoid of anything related to the topic. Such a one trick pony.

But for some unknown reason you just can't say it(LOL)

I'm not here to discuss Obama. If you want the answer, Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo should be able to help you.

Trump is a cheater, and a thief. He and Barr have knocked down all the gaurd rails that have guided the office of the President of These United States. In the process he has destroyed the faith AmeriCANs have in our fundamental institutions that have were the glue holding our nation together. He's destroyed our faith in our allies and their faith in U.S. He's destroyed any cohesiveness that briged politcal gaps between AmeriCANs and he's destroyed our faith in Government at all levels.

Trump is destroyer, he dosent' build, he cheats, he lies, he takes advantage in anyway he can to promote himslef. As my dad used to like to say: "he's a horray for me and to hell with you guy" Top to bottom, inside and out.

His campaign had the biggest financial advantage of any recent campaign and squandered it, now he's using public money to continue and he's doing it without any trepidation. That's not a surprise, it's only surprising that anyone still supports this most ebarassing of human beings.

No.

Noticed he asked but

Well, tbf, he's not getting billions of free campaigning from cable news anymore. So he has to get "someone else's money" from somewhere.

My fav sub-story that’s not getting a ton of attention but I bet will be a thing when this is all over? Trump is stealing from his own campaign. Hand over fist. When the GOP gets ahold of the books and sees they were just the last schmucks in the door through Trump U, I’m gonna laugh and laugh.

I wouldn't take a bet on it. One really has to wonder why the campaign is cash strapped all of a sudden. It's like a ton of that money just went up in smoke...or rather into someone's pockets.

 

[LouC]

Donald Trump needs to be judged on this by his own metrics and they were that it was wrong, he railed against real President Barack Hussein Obama allegedly using Tax Payers money and resources to campaign.

Alas though we know that ersatz president Donald Dip Stick is the hypocrite in Chief and that he cast out ALL of his opposition to EVERYTHING he formally condemned real President Barack Hussein Obama for the day he, stupid Trump, was elected by his cadre of Trump Stupid's.

We also know that cadre doesn't care how hypocritical Trump has become because they have followed his lead right down that mud slime slide into his slime filled swamp.

The answer to the topic question is NO I am not OK with ersatz president Donald Dip Stick Trump using AMERICAN Taxpayers MONEY and RESOURCES to campaign and openly and likely secretly use them to connive to be reelected and I am using Trump's own metrics to make that decision.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to be the incumbant running for re-election and be cash strapped. Just impossible. He is stealing like a mother****er because of course he is.

Donald Trump = Obese Dumb Hans Gruber: Everyone thought he was a terrorist, but he was really just a crook.

 

[CaughtInThe]

He always uses other people's $$$$ to get what he wants.

He'd rape Trump supporters wives/daughters and take their money if he wanted. The ones on this very board.

 

[X Factor]

They don't care. Nor do they care that Obama allowed the Clintons to do the same, using all of the resources that he could provide.

They’re just mad Trump’s actually out campaigning and Biden won’t (or can’t).

 

[Mr Person]

Remember: a private citizen donating to a charity that pays off the the FL GOP's poll tax is "vote buying". Trump using your money to send gift cards with his name on them to 33 million people is ok.

The letter next to the name is important.

They’re just mad Trump’s actually out campaigning and Biden won’t (or can’t).

Hey everyone, look at X Factor condemning corruption.

Ummmmmmmmmmmm, that's what every president does. They call it the bully pulpit.

No they don't. Give us some examples of other presidents doing similar things during election years.

No, it's just a response that reveals your own hypocrisy on the subject. If people were going to start getting upset about tax payer dollars at this point with any president. It would be rather intellectually dishonest, to even try and start with Trump.
