    And it violates federal electoral rules.

    Politicians in both the U.K. and Australia say they have received e-mails from the Trump campaign and signed by both the nominee and his son Donald Trump Jr., asking that they donate cash to his campaign. At least one e-mail was published online by Natalie McGarry, MP for Glasgow East, who received it on June 22.

    “Members of Parliament are being bombarded with electronic communications from Team Trump on behalf of somebody called Donald Trump,” he said, according to a Points of Order transcript published on the House of Commons Hansard website.

    I think it speaks to the serial incompetence of the Trump campaign.

    I'm sure he either bought a list from somewhere.

    Although it is possibile that he may have been dumb enough to have deliberately done this, especially after he congradulated himself for supporting Brexit.

    How can this be - a 'donate page'? He's self funding.

    If this did come from Tr(oll)mp's campaign then he is in violation of Federal Election Laws.

    Ironic that he called Hillary "crooked" while violating the law himself!

    Candidates do not run the funding aspects of their campaigns, if an error was made you can expect someone to be fired rather quickly.

    Not a Trump fan or supporter in the least, but I do question the authenticity and a check of the domain where it came from would clear it up or serve to hurt Trump. Either way, I question that it really came from "Team Trump" officially.

    You guys seem to have no problem attacking Hillary herself and holding her personally accountable for her funding, so why aren't you consistent with Trump?

    Well unlike Hillary, Trump has not been Secretary of State and able to sell favors. He also is not giving speeches to Goldman Sachs for thousands of dollars.

    Nope again you are having reading comprehension problems. This seems to be habitual with you. Are you ok?

    I am sure you'll apply the same standard to Hillary's email server. She probably also had someone else run it for her, so no big deal.

    You incessantly start OPs that are lies.
    Trump said he would self fund his primary campaign. He never said he would self fund in the election. But you'll keep telling that lie as will the lying media and press.
    It is illegal to accept an illegal contribution. Many candidates have gone on national TV asking everyone watching to contribute. If someone sees that who can not legally contribute that does not make the candidate a criminal. Spamming fund raising emails isn't even slightly illegal.
    Just more of the non-stop Democrat lies about Trump.

    That's a lie.

    Just a thought. Has the email be verified as actually coming from Trump?

    He stated he would self finance in the primary and "may" self finance in the general election. What was not a promise to self finance in the general election.

    It is curious seeing how much most Democrats now worship money, worship Wall Street, worship the super rich and mega corporations, openly declaring the White House should belong to whoever will pay the most to have it. Most Democrats now not only do not oppose corruption, they admire it.
