YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!!!
http://www.politicususa.com/2016/06/13/trump-threatens-put-gary-busey-supreme-court-republicans-give-money.html
Donald Trump's broke presidential campaign is resorting to threatening Republican donors that either they give Trump cash, or he will put celebrities like Gary Busey on the Supreme Court.
Buzzfeed reported on Donald Trumps top fundraiser, Anthony Scaramucci, shaking down Romney donors:
Let me ask you one other question, he said. What if he wins?
Do you want Sean Puffy Combs to be the secretary of state and Gary Busey to be on the Supreme Court?
This, Scaramucci suggested, is what Republicans can expect if they dont get on the Trump Train now. (Combs and Busey who Trump fired in 2013 on Celebrity Apprentice support Trump. However, the candidates actual appeal to Republicans is how very very responsible he will be about Supreme Court appointments.)

The Senate still has to confirm. Does the Trump camp really know so little about how these things work?
