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.

The money is for the WWP wounded warrior project and other programs for our Vets
Agree Adelayda but hez putting condition, i hope he wont appear in any debate until the news channels accept his condition, that will be then a dfrnt story
Go Donald!
Yes, because he thinks that is what will get the money. I don’t know if he has to do it for every debate. We will see. ☺
Gonna unfriend Truth in Action over this post…
He said give it to Veterans.
He has money, you think he’s gonna keep 5 mil, when he’s a billionaire? Why can’t he do something good and people actually give him credit for it?
If it means that much to him, he can donate his own money. Vote Blue.
Did someone forget to mention that he wants the money for vets?
Don’t go. America wouldn’t miss anything but racist stupid rants and no details on how he will get anything done just says. It will be great. What a joke.
