Trump’s Awkward Donation to Kamala Harris Resurfaces as Attack Machine Shifts Gears

The political landscape is heating up as Donald Trump sets his sights on his potential opponent in the 2024 presidential race, Kamala Harris. As Trump dubs her with his infamous nickname “Laffin’ Kamala Harris”, the spotlight shines on a curious donation from the past.

A $5,000 check dated 26 September 2011, bearing Trump’s signature and made payable to “Attorney General Kamala D Harris” has resurfaced on social media, causing a stir in the political sphere. This donation was just one of several gifts from the Trump family to Harris during her time as California’s top prosecutor.

As Trump’s attack machine gears up to target Harris, questions arise about the implications of his past financial support for the now potential rival. The check for $5,000 may come back to haunt Trump on the campaign trail, mirroring the scrutiny it faced during the 2020 presidential race when Harris was Biden’s running mate.

Digging into the origins of the donation, it was revealed that Trump made the payment at the request of New York’s then top prosecutor, Eric Schneiderman, who hosted a fundraiser for Harris in 2011. Despite the connection to Schneiderman, who later faced allegations of misconduct, Trump adamantly denied any influence on ongoing investigations at the time.

Interestingly, Harris donated the entirety of the funds received from Trump towards a civil rights non-profit in Central America as she embarked on her Senate campaign, indicating a commitment to charitable causes.

With the specter of past financial ties lingering, the dynamic between Trump and Harris promises to add an intriguing layer to the unfolding political drama leading up to the 2024 election. As both sides gear up for the battle ahead, the story of the $5,000 check serves as a reminder of the tangled webs of political connections and rivalries.
