Donald Trump promoted sales of his State of the Union address Tuesday night to boost funding for his 2020 re-election campaign (out of which he was paying lawyers in Russiagate) , claiming to display the names of campaign donors during a live broadcast internet streaming of the speech.
Trump on Monday afternoon sent a text message to supporters with an offer to flash their names across the screen during the “Donald J. Trump for President Live Stream” of the event.
The text linked to an official webpage soliciting donations between $35 and the legal maximum of $2,700. A donation is called “a movement” (a bowel movement?) on the webpage, which said: “It’s not about just one of us. It’s about ALL of us. Which is why your name deserves to be displayed during Tuesday night’s speech.”
Critics were not thrilled with the idea of monetizing the State of the Union event.
“Goodbye America. We had a good run,” tweeted Austan Goolsbee, a former adviser to President Barack Obama.
“Why not sell each paragraph to the highest bidder?” joked Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics.
Trump praised himself for the economy and revealed his current immigration and infrastructure plans. He talked tough on gangs but got into no specifics. Do not FACT CHECK Trump's speech!
This is not the first time Trump has used such a tawdry fundraising tactic.
Trump also once descended a bankruptcy-addled restaurant for a private fundraising dinner with “major GOP donors.” Trump is 3rd rate bush league when he is at the very top of his game!
In 2016, he displayed the names of donors who gave more than $50 on jumbo screens at the Republican National Convention. Trump promoted the idea as “the opportunity of a lifetime.”
Trump’s State of the Union speech was a HUGE double-flusher with large double and triple skid marks all the way down.
There are no new sanctions on Russia!
Fortunately, the sanitation district was informed well in advance so they had extra equipment and manpower on hand to insure SOMETHING in Washington DC continued working.
The wall?
The Milanda Panna is a famous work of Buddhist literature, probably compiled in the 1st century B.C. It presents Buddhist doctrine in a dialogue between a Bactrian Greek,Menander I, who plays the 'Devil's Advocate' and a Buddhist sage, Nagasena. The introduction outlines the historical background against which the dialogues took place, indicating the meeting of two great cultures that of ancient Greece and the Buddhism of the Indus valley, which was the legacy of the great Emperor Asoka.
