Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Trump - dude just owns it- tells CNN to donate ad revenue to Veterans

I think Trump just owned the debate before even showing up


RUSH: Trump is now threatening to pull out of the CNN debate if they don’t give the additional ad revenue that they’re earning here to charity. This is last night with Greta Van Susteren on the Fox News Channel. He was asked, “If Jeff Zucker over at CNN does not agree with your demand, as you wrote in that letter today, to donate the money, the ad revenue, to veterans, will you consider not showing up?”

TRUMP: We’re gonna make a determination, but he should make a big donation. And, frankly, so should the other networks because they’re making a lot of money, and I would like to see that money go to the vets.
REPORTER: So if he doesn’t give the money, you won’t show up?

TRUMP: We’ll make a determination.

RUSH: We’re gonna determine later whether or not we’ll show up. Trump’s maintaining that before this CNN was charging $5,000 a minute. That’s news that we had yesterday. With the anticipated audience for the September 16th debate, CNN’s charging $200,000 a minute. And Trump, as a full-fledged capitalist and, by the way, a commissioned salesman — commissioned sales, boy, if you can get the right deal of commissioned sales you can become rich. You get a percentage of everything and you be the one to explain why it’s happening, you get yourself directly in the revenue stream, that’s what Trump considers himself to do.

He says, “All right, five grand a minute before I show up, right? Two-hundred grand the minute after I show up? Who should get the money here? You guys? What are you doing? You already own the cameras. You’re not even using your studios. You’re using the Reagan library. What are you guys doing for this? Money should go to vets.”

That's a perfect example of why we need Trump for president. He MAKES THINGS HAPPEN. Did anyone else see the potential to help the vets in this? No. Did any one else see a way to get the networks to pay to help the vets? No again. Now, do you really doubt that he will build a fence and get Mexico to pay for it? The man has a novel approach, and it has worked for him to the tune of 9 or 10 billion dollars. It's time to put him to work for our country.

Sounds like an excuse to drop out an not make an ass out of himself in the debate again.

Not to mention that nobody has prime time ad spots for $5,000 a minute;

But the debate would be better off without him and his show anyway!

it sounds like a great way to put Cnn's ass in a pinch

payback for all of Piers Morgan's gheyness

It's a damned shame he's the only one making that demand/request.

He's the only one who'a a big enough draw to viewers to be in a position to negotiate.

If Rand Paul drops out of the debate, would anyone even care?
