So I read Trump is selling seats to the debate for 250000 isnt that scalping?

1. If they have telepathic powers, his campaign will pay them. They can help him with answers.

[WhiteTara]

2. There is no low, low enough, to which he

will not stoop. Gollum creature that he is.

[maxrandb]

3. Is the Trump "Foundation"

paying him for them?

I wouldn't doubt it.

- Trump Foundation pays Trump $2M for 8 tickets

- Trump gives them to 8 Mouth-Breathing Deplorable

- Trump pockets $2M and claims $2M on his taxes as "charitable" giving

[Thinkingabout]

4. He says he is the greatest, hasn't convinced me but perhaps some are convinced.

[anamandujano]

5. He will pocket a lot of whatever he gets, that is if anyone wants to toss their $ into a trash can.

[TeamPooka]

6. He'll be out front scalping tickets himself before the event so he can pocket the cash right away

[BobbyDrake]

7. It's only 4 seats, which were probably assigned to the campaign.

He's probably just the first campaign to be crass enough to auction them this way.

[Goblinmonger]

8. Not really what he's doing.

I mean, I hate Trump, but he's giving them to fundraisers that raise over $250,000. Not quite the same as scalping.

[Madam45for2923]

9. Bet he says if asked that he's giving to "charity"

Whenever he wants people to stop talking he likes to bring up "charity"... but now we know better... it's a ruse!
