    I don’t think that that’s grifting.

    Like, there’s no fraud or misleading material here. Trump’s campaign is (presumably) providing exactly what one would expect for the donation: trying to improve Trump’s chances at the White House. They’re maybe taking every chance to push for money, but constantly trying to sell stuff alone isn’t grifting.

    If it were trying to get people to invest in Trump Media & Technology Group or something, where I think that a lot of small investors have a rather-confused take on the company’s prospects, then I’d be more-inclined to agree.
