Bwahahahaha tRump Jr. begging for money gets told HELL no. This is awesome

http://occupydemocrats.com/2016/06/28/27222/

Donald Trump’s campaign is in dire straits, financially speaking. His latest FEC filing reported that he only had a meager $1.3 million in his war chest, and online analytics agencies quickly found that his immediate declaration that he had raised $3 million with his first ever donation email was just another one of Trump’s many lies. Now it appears that he and his family are asking anyone they possibly can for some spare change – but they aren’t being warmly received.

Donald Trump Jr, the eldest of Trump’s self-entitled brood, apparently barraged a number of Scottish politicians with requests for money to “make America great again,” the vast majority of which were sent straight to the spam folder – but one MP, Natalie McGarry of Glasgow East, couldn’t let it go unanswered – and her response hits it right out of the park.

No Scot would appreciate being called English, maybe British but never English.

Scottish people (Welsh, for that matter) don't appreciate being called "English". British might be OK for many, but not English.

Anyway, here's her letter if anyone can't click through for any reason:

that the kid does not know that it's ILLEGAL for foreign nationals to donate to an American presidential campaign.

It would be mildly hilarious if Trump were to run totally out of money by the Republican convention.

Wouldn't it be fitting for campaign law finally to bring this con man down and send him up the river--where he belongs?

From the same link in the OP:

It is, of course, extremely illegal for foreign nationals to donate to election campaigns. Given Trump’s ignorance of the law in general and his campaign’s now notorious inefficiency and incompetence, we can assume that the Trump camp simply bought lots of email lists and began spamming them with desperate requests for money, not knowing that some of them led to Scottish members of Parliament.

I thought it was illegal for foreign entities (person or corporation), to
donate to a US campaign?

A couple of years ago, a Mexican citizen was caught trying to donate
and buy off San Diego officials.

I'm sure someone will be knocking on their door, to see what's what.

all weekend was just bullshit as well.

What a shock.

Perhaps sonny-boy can convince the other (former) candidates to chip in some of their leftover war chest $$. I mean, they all pledged to vote for him, right?
