This provides the full candid remarks of Donald Trump at the 2024 Al Smith dinner attended by media and New York State and NYC dignitaries. Much was humorous and some even self deprecating. Think what you wish and decide for yourself. At least he showed up live and in person. Not sure if the modestly clever Kamala prerecorded video is included on this video.
My view is simply no American CITIZEN should be able to donate over about $1000 to any single candidate or about $3000 to a party. Why should media outlets get rich off of our elections? But the citizens should be able to volunteer as much time as he/she wishes.
