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

What does that have to do with anything?

This isn’t complicated. Paying large sums of money to someone with no education and very little is a little strange.

Jill Biden has been paid a total of $700,000 in speaking fees according to USA Today

That's (D)ifferent

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?

Is that anything like a president's wife heading a cabinet meeting?

And????…

Why don't you find out how much Harris's husband is being paid to show up at her campaign events and let us know.

Why don't you show examples of Hilary, gore, tipper, pelousi, et all, and their relatives being paid millions over the years.

For their "stories".

The former first lady spoke at two political fundraisers for the Log Cabin Republicans this year, and she was paid $237,500 for an April event, according to former President Donald Trump’s latest financial disclosure form. The payment was listed as a “speaking engagement.”

Snip


It’s the first campaign event ever held at the Trump residence,” he wrote. “And we raised $1.4 million in one night. Our goal is to get 50% of the gay vote for Donald Trump.”

At the April Mar-a-Lago event where Melania Trump spoke, the organization launched its “Road to Victory” program to target voters in swing states, according to Politico.

It's unusual?

So Bill Clinton didn't do this a bunch of times during Hillary's campaign?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Good to know your guesswork because …

Wait. It’s irrelevant.

Do you often visit internet opinion boards and run around telling peole their opinions are irrelevant?

That certainly is odd behavior, for a grown man.

That didn't happen.

Damn you people are gullible.

That's your point to make. Put on your big boy pants and make it.

The article I read, was unsure and stated so, but it was listed on his latest campaign finance report.

1. Why is she getting paid?
2. Why would they pay to have her?
3. Why would the wife of a billionaire need money?

Try to stay focused on the issue at hand.

She is probably paid for every public appearance she makes with Felonious Trump. She had it written into their prenuptial agreement...

 

[OldFlame]

You mean to say, he is paying Democrats to show up at his events? How much? Is he offering anything to Independents?

Why did you dishonestly represent what the person you quoted said? Or are you stupid? Or both?

I am, you're the one trying to deflect from the fact that they ALL do it.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

It's a way to drain the campaign funds and move them into family money. Smart. Trump's are really good at shady grifts.

As the campaign winds down it would be neglectful to leave all that cash there
He needs it for legal bills and fines.
He would see it as his money anyway.

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

That’s ^ the thread headline. Now let’s do some of the old “compare and contrast thing:

Melania Trump was paid for a rare appearance at a political event. It’s not clear who cut the unusual six-figure check​

That’s ^ from the linked article.

What was left out of this thread’s thread headline that does appear in the CNN headline?

He's a liar, he has no business being a mod, but neither to most of the others either, it's nothing but a circle jerk in here.

 

[OldFlame]

So far, nobody has come up with another campaign finance disclosure report showing a presidential campaign spouse was paid to support her husband's run for presidential office. I would have to wait until it is shown on another campaign finance report, before accepting it as a fact.

You haven't proven this one was.
