Before entering politics, President Trump donated $6,000 to Kamala D. Harris’s reelection campaign while she was California attorney general, campaign finance records show. The donations, made in 2011 and 2013, have raised speculation that they were related to Trump University’s legal troubles.
Harris, now Joe Biden’s likely successor as the Democratic presidential nominee, was California’s attorney general from 2011 to 2016. During her tenure, her office took no action against Trump University, which was facing a class-action lawsuit and investigation by the New York attorney general.
A Biden campaign spokeswoman said Harris did not solicit the donations and they had no effect on her office’s handling of allegations against Trump University. Harris’s predecessor had decided not to pursue a case, and her office re-examined the issue in 2016 and also chose not to investigate.
Trump’s donations to Harris have been seen as unusual, given his shift towards donating exclusively to Republicans around 2010. Trump has said the contribution was a favor for New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who had asked him to make the donation.
The donations have also previously been cited by Trump’s campaign as evidence that he is not racist, given that Harris is a black woman.

Trump was a Democrat, who supported Obama. He is not now, and never was, a right winger or a conservative. At this point conservative Republicans, who like Ronald Reagan favor a strong pro-freedom foreign policy and fiscal responsibility, are politically homeless (though a pro-business Democrat could appeal to them).
The filthy degenerate adulterous felon was a life long democrat before he ran for president
It’s actually a good look which proves Trump is more of a centrist than the left wants to portray him as. Pretending he is a gilgul of a failed Austrian painter hasn’t worked so well for them.
Yeah that’s basically what the Democrats are. BH that he was able to get out.
You can also leave the party of slavery, the KKK, BLM, Jew hatred, progrom loving Democrats.
Slowly people are waking up.
rt,
What does Bill Clinton have to do with this post?
Filthy or not, we’re seeing more and more former life-long democrats out there, nu?
Trump was a businessman who donated to members of both parties. It wasn’t necessarily a decision based on policy; it’s legal bribery so that the politician will help your business.
She is NOT a black woman like BHO is NOT a black man. She is of multiple races like he is. He is a mulatto. She’s of Indian/ Jamaican/and other countries. She got elite privileges due to the color if her skin, not by her merits. Like he, being a foreign student to American educational facilities.
