Re-election Fund Raiser
So President Trump held his first re-election fund raiser yesterday, only 5 months into his administration. To me, this seems like it is jumping the gun, but I don't have any context. I also realize that the political climate has changed considerably. Long gone are the days when Bobby Kennedy could announce that he was running for a Presidential election barely six months away. In any case, does anyone know how early past Presidents have begun to fund raise for their re-elections.

In Trump's case, he needs to give Putin plenty of time to launder his donations.kroxquo wrote:So President Trump held his first re-election fund raiser yesterday, only 5 months into his administration.

Putin will have trouble getting that money back from the Clinton Foundation. But I give him better odds than most.silverscreenselect wrote:

Re: Re-election Fund Raiser
Are you seriously claiming that Clinton Foundation funds were used to pay for Chelsea Clinton's wedding? That would be a criminal act, just as it was a criminal act for the Trump Foundation to use its contributions in self-dealing ways. Please provide factual support. --Bobsilvercamaro wrote:Chelsea is needy? Oh, well.

I seriously don't know if Chelsea's wedding fund was "enhanced" by Clinton Foundation money, and neither do you.Bob78164 wrote:Are you seriously claiming that Clinton Foundation funds were used to pay for Chelsea Clinton's wedding?

Re: Re-election Fund Raiser
You're the one who implied it. That's an accusation you have no business making without evidence to back it up. Retreating to "I don't know and neither do you" doesn't cut it in these circumstances. You made a defamatory comment about someone and now you're admitting that you have no factual basis whatsoever to support it.silvercamaro wrote:I seriously don't know if Chelsea's wedding fund was "enhanced" by Clinton Foundation money, and neither do you.Bob78164 wrote:Are you seriously claiming that Clinton Foundation funds were used to pay for Chelsea Clinton's wedding?

Here's the Washington Post fact check of the story. No evidence. None at all. It includes an interview with the wedding planner who actually organized the ceremony. --Bob

Bobbie, you're hilarious talking about "accusations" and "no evidence".
