Melania was paid $237,000 to appear at an April Political Event during Don's Presidential run, this year.

I was simply pointing out, it does not appear she supports his campaign unless paid a hefty sum. She knows him better than any of us.

Oh? It was a fundraiser for Log Cabin. Not Trump.

Why do you lie?

I would have figured, in his world that would be a limited benefit. But, if the presidency is to be the family business (and to keep him out of jail), and she won't support without it, it might be worth it for the money, if attendance at political events was not agreed to in the Pre-Nup.

Trump would hardly be unique if that's what this is.

— -- After his wife became Secretary of State, former President Bill Clintonbegan to collect speaking fees that often doubled or tripled what he had been charging earlier in his post White House years, bringing in millions of dollars from groups that included several with interests pending before the State Department, an ABC News review of financial disclosure records shows.

Where he once had drawn $150,000 for a typical address in the years following his presidency, Clinton saw a succession of staggering paydays for speeches in 2010 and 2011, including $500,000 paid by a Russian investment bank and $750,000 to address a telecom conference in China.

“It’s unusual to see a former president’s speaking fee go up over time,” said Richard Painter, who served as chief ethics lawyer in the White House Counsel’s office under President George W. Bush. “I must say I’m surprised that he raised his fees. There’s no prohibition on his raising it. But it does create some appearance problems if he raises his fee after she becomes Secretary of State

His campaign finance disclosure form, so it looks like campaign fund, and that was just for an even held at Mar-a-Lago, so that is what it took to get her to come downstairs to his political event.
According to Donald Trump’s latest financial disclosure form, the former first lady, who has been notably absent from her husband’s presidential campaign efforts, was paid to participate in a “speaking engagement” for the conservative LGBTQ group at Mar-a-Lago in April.

Not what the story claims. So why do you?

 

[otto105]

Did anybody notice this? It is kind of unusual for a candidates wife to have to be paid to appear at a political event in support of her husband's run for political office, isn't it?

People with real money never do this.

Dude, for the third time, it his personal Financial Disclosure form. He's required to list $ made by his spouse. Absolutely nothing to do with the campaign finances.

 

[BluesLegend]

You are an idiot to compare a speaking engagement and attending a political even for your spouse.

Translation...you are severely butthurt by facts.

 

[Rambunctious]

How so? You are the only one speaking of illegalities.
What you are or are not sure of, with no proof of anything, is of little value to anyone, certainly not me, or other USMB members. All the non trumpians, require some kind of evidence if being asked to believe statements like yours.

I know I'm growing weary of these hit pieces on Trump as the media turns its head away from dems doing the same thing... or worse.... trying to make everything the Trump's do as a crime or somehow shocking and immoral... its meat for adult children....

Skye saw someone else post this. And now it's the singular thought in her brain

Then you should have problem coming up with the campaign disclosures if you want to prove your view.

Why would there be campaign disclosures, the spouses aren't running for anything. Although many politicians pay family from campaign funds.

[BackAgain]

If you want to investigate other campaigns, knock yourself out.
No. Lets not say that. Lets say it was a line item in the required Trump campaign finance disclosure form, since it was.
What? You have no problem paying his legal bills for crap he did, against the law, but balk at paying his wife, to look like she supports him, simply because she won't if not paid? Ok, Ok, it is indeed a sad statement on their marriage and any supposed shared values or commitment. But, as I pointed out somewhere else, she has much higher approval and appeal to a much larger cross section than Donny. So, it is kind of like a paid celebrity endorsement. It is not like he was ever the king example of family values. He blew that fucking porn stars. They got, maybe a hundred fifty thousand to part their thighs for a few minutes. Where she got $237,000 to show up and act like she supported. To him it is free money, to be used, and by reporting it, it is legal, for a change, thus not adding to the legal fees you are paying. Surely it isn't the nepotism factor, as this is off your campaign donations, not taxes you and I pay, like when he was in office. I just found it interesting, but maybe that is because my money is not involved. Are you going to ask for your donation back?

Ok. So you don’t know.

Fair enough. It would have been easier to just say so.

Pathetic dodging and trying to move the goalposts. Not a campaign event so this whole thread is a lie.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Then don't participate. Chickenshit.

Big deal, unless you're bitching about democrats earning speaking fees sit down

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

I'm just curious why they lied about it on the disclosure.

He can legally hire his relatives to do campaign duties.
