    By all means, do t take a politicians word on anything.

    But like, a bunch of poor people definitely give money to trump, it’s his bread and butter.

    He gets plenty from large so it’s too, it’s just weird someone would act like he doesn’t get any

    And small donations still get tracked, campaigns are responsible for not accepting anything over the limit, so there are rules about tracking.

    Now, if you wanted to argue that they’re doing some kind of straw donation scheme where a wealthy person gives money to friends so they can donate…

    Yeah, that can happen, and kind of what bundling is but there’s access and Influence to the bundler at play too. Like, if a business associate you want a deal with asks you to bundle implying it helps the odds of a deal or something.

    That’s plausible.

    But there’s still a bunch of idiots that donate to trump every pay period.
