Former President Donald Trump is actively engaging in an extensive and audacious fundraising tour, making bold promises to potential donors. Trump has been personally attending donor events, seeking substantial financial contributions for his campaign. At one event, a businessman offered Trump $1 million for a lunch meeting, but Trump suggested increasing the amount to $25 million. He has also been promising tax cuts to wealthy megadonors in exchange for their support. In a notable shift from his 2016 stance, Trump now appears willing to make deals with donors. Additionally, he has made controversial statements, such as suggesting he would have bombed Moscow and Beijing if Russia invaded Ukraine or China invaded Taiwan. This marks a significant change from his approach during the 2016 campaign.
"He's been doing this since he first started running back in the 2016 campaign." Forbes' @Z_Everson joins @_brittanylewis on "Forbes Newsroom" to discuss how money from small-dollar donors turns into revenue for Donald Trump. https://t.co/HOYGVbUIMd https://t.co/RbjWsLOCKF
In 2016, Trump derided favors for donors. Today, he wants to make a ‘deal.’ https://t.co/TRU83bP7mT

Trump, far more than 2016 or even 2020, is personally going around to donor confabs asking for millions or even billions (!) of dollars. "I’m begging for your money," Trump half-joked at one recent event. For the implications of this, look no further than Trump's own past remarks https://t.co/YFDx2cbVBD
