After the August GOP debate brought in a record 2 million viewers, republican frontrunner Donald Trump has made an interesting demand of CNN. With the next GOP debate scheduled to take place in Las Vegas, NV, on Dec. 15, Trump has demanded the host network, which is CNN, pay him $5 million dollars to participate.
Trump wrote a letter prior to the September debate, where Trump claimed that the tremendous increase in viewer interest is due “100 percent” to Donald Trump. The letter also suggested that some of the profits that CNN was paid from increased advertising be paid to veteran groups.
The demand happened at a campaign rally in Macon, GA, where Trump asked the crowd if he should make the payment a condition of his participation in the debate. While Trump obviously doesn’t need the money, there are plenty of other people who do, like our veterans, for example.
After issuing this demand or challenge, Trump said the $5 million would be donated to veterans.

Hey
It’s all about the almighty dollar
If he sees a way to get CNN to donate five million, good for him. Anyone and everyone should try to help our vets.
Imagine what he going to start demanding in order to do his job if he’s elected….
Though idea is good but hez hitting two birds in one shot which makes it a bit selfish.
You forget he is giving ALL to vets.
Not really. Everything he says gets attention, good or bad. Why should that keep him from doing something charitable?
hahaha
He never said that he said it was for the vets
Yeah right
