https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/31/u...donations.html Trump Camp Uses Online Gimmick to Fuel Donations Into December The Trump campaign is now automatically checking a box to create recurring weekly donations from supporters until mid-December. By Shane Goldmacher Published Oct. 31, 2020Updated Feb. 1, 2021 President Trump’s campaign is raising money for a prolonged political and legal fight long after Nov. 3 and recently began automatically checking a box to withdraw additional weekly contributions from online donors through mid-December — nearly six weeks after Election Day. Predicting “FRAUD like you’ve never seen,” the language on Mr. Trump’s website opts contributors into making the weekly post-election donations “to ensure we have the resources to protect the results and keep fighting even after Election Day.” Users must proactively click to avoid making multiple contributions. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/03/u...onations.html? How Trump Steered Supporters Into Unwitting Donations Online donors were guided into weekly recurring contributions. Demands for refunds spiked. Complaints to banks and credit card companies soared. But the money helped keep Donald Trump’s struggling campaign afloat. Shane Goldmacher By Shane Goldmacher Published April 3, 2021Updated April 5, 2021 Stacy Blatt was in hospice care last September listening to Rush Limbaugh’s dire warnings about how badly Donald J. Trump’s campaign needed money when he went online and chipped in everything he could: $500. It was a big sum for a 63-year-old battling cancer and living in Kansas City on less than $1,000 per month. But that single contribution — federal records show it was his first ever — quickly multiplied. Another $500 was withdrawn the next day, then $500 the next week and every week through mid-October, without his knowledge — until Mr. Blatt’s bank account had been depleted and frozen. When his utility and rent payments bounced, he called his brother, Russell, for help. What the Blatts soon discovered was $3,000 in withdrawals by the Trump campaign in less than 30 days. They called their bank and said they thought they were victims of fraud. “It felt,” Russell said, “like it was a scam.” But what the Blatts believed was duplicity was actually an intentional scheme to boost revenues by the Trump campaign and the for-profit company that processed its online donations, WinRed. Facing a cash crunch and getting badly outspent by the Democrats, the campaign had begun last September to set up recurring donations by default for online donors, for every week until the election. https://nypost.com/2021/04/05/trump-...ought-refunds/ Trump attacks NY Times for report on recurring donors who sought refunds Former President Donald Trump on Monday ripped into the New York Times for running a story on refunds issued to people who claimed they unwittingly signed up to be recurring donors to his campaign. Trump said in an emailed statement that the article was a “completely misleading, one-sided attack piece” that sought to demean him. “In yet another highly partisan story, the failing New York Times wrote a completely misleading, one-sided attack piece this weekend that tried to disparage our record-setting grassroots fundraising operation during the 2020 campaign,” Trump said...... https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/re...-donation-dec/ Claim The Trump Campaign's fundraising platform is soliciting recurring donations until mid-December and automatically checking the box that authorizes this option. Rating True On Oct. 31 2020, The New York Times reported that the Trump Campaign’s fundraising landing page was “now automatically checking a box to create recurring weekly donations from supporters until mid-December.” This is true, though the “automatically checked box” development is fairly old news. The Trump Campaign’s primary fundraising platform — WinRed — changed the landing page to automatically check the monthly recurring donation option in March 2020. The shift to soliciting for weekly donations occurred in mid-September 2020, with that option also appearing as pre-checked. The more recent development is the change in when those weekly contributions would stop. Earlier solicitations committed people to donations that would stop automatically recurring on Election Day, Nov. 3 2020. In late October, the text was changed to read “make this a recurring donation until 12/14.” It bears mentioning that well before any returns came in on Nov. 3, the campaign encouraged donations as a way to “keep fighting after election day” because “there will be voter fraud like you’ve never seen.” |

So he is mostly rescinding some of the Trump give away to the wealthy. Non of that trickled down to the great unwashed. It will also help the Trump deficit. I'm retired and making a bit less than $400k a year so won't affect me. |

Either there was massive election fraud by the democrats or American voters are so stupid that they actually elected Xi Bribe'm. I'm not sure what scares me more. The real answer is that American voters are way smarter than YOU! |

By Shane Goldmacher Published Oct. 31, 2020Updated Feb. 1, 2021 President Trump?s campaign is raising money for a prolonged political and legal fight long after Nov. 3 and recently began automatically checking a box to withdraw additional weekly contributions from online donors through mid-December ? nearly six weeks after Election Day. Predicting ?FRAUD like you?ve never seen,? the language on Mr. Trump?s website opts contributors into making the weekly post-election donations ?to ensure we have the resources to protect the results and keep fighting even after Election Day.? Users must proactively click to avoid making multiple contributions. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/03/u...onations.html? How Trump Steered Supporters Into Unwitting Donations Online donors were guided into weekly recurring contributions. Demands for refunds spiked. Complaints to banks and credit card companies soared. But the money helped keep Donald Trump?s struggling campaign afloat. Shane Goldmacher By Shane Goldmacher Published April 3, 2021Updated April 5, 2021 Stacy Blatt was in hospice care last September listening to Rush Limbaugh?s dire warnings about how badly Donald J. Trump?s campaign needed money when he went online and chipped in everything he could: $500. It was a big sum for a 63-year-old battling cancer and living in Kansas City on less than $1,000 per month. But that single contribution ? federal records show it was his first ever ? quickly multiplied. Another $500 was withdrawn the next day, then $500 the next week and every week through mid-October, without his knowledge ? until Mr. Blatt?s bank account had been depleted and frozen. When his utility and rent payments bounced, he called his brother, Russell, for help. What the Blatts soon discovered was $3,000 in withdrawals by the Trump campaign in less than 30 days. They called their bank and said they thought they were victims of fraud. ?It felt,? Russell said, ?like it was a scam.? But what the Blatts believed was duplicity was actually an intentional scheme to boost revenues by the Trump campaign and the for-profit company that processed its online donations, WinRed.
