Donald Trumpis preparing for battle Kamala Harris for president — but he once stood by her side, even giving her some money when she was running for California attorney general.
DT invested $6,000 in Harris’s campaign from 2011 to 2013, and his daughter Ivanka contributed $2,000 in 2014 — with the financial records resurfacing as Harris becomes the front-runner for the Democratic nomination with President Biden moving away.
This ancient connection between the current rivals for the White House first emerged in 2020, when KH was running as Biden’s vice president — and yes, the facts were fact-checked back then, too.
If you’re wondering why he was throwing money at both parties, Trump explained it during his 2016 presidential campaign — bragging, “I gave to the Democrats. I gave to Hillary. I gave to everybody! Because that was my job. I have to give to them. Because when I want something, I get it. When I call, they kiss my ass.”
In other words, he openly admitted it was a strategic move to curry political favor — and some suspect that, in Kamala’s case, it was his way of influencing California’s investigation into his now-defunct Trump University.
Regardless of the reasons, Harris flipped the script in 2015 by donating DT funds to a nonprofit that advocates for civil rights in Central America.
