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.

No he doesn’t. If he did he would just do it with his money. It called media attention. Why don’t YOU make the billionaire pay 5 mill. He has it
Obama plans to write an executive order of gun legislation. I think he is in breach yet again of his oath of office. His first job is to protect the people and the Constitution. Not disarmament and subjugation of the peoples rights.
There is no reason for this, other than to suppress what is good in America to push the liberal division extremist behavior.
Turns out The San Bernardino killer was in America on K-1Visa and his wife was Saudi. They were not citizens… 14 peoples blood are on OBAMA’s HANDS. And since they were here on VISA… they did not purchase guns legally. Their guns were illegal… SEE HOW MANY LIES the LEFT and LEFT MEDIA HAVE PUT OUT IN 12 HOURS.. how could you ever believe anything any media says. The president is the number 1 enemy of Americans.
This is why we need TRUMP!
Arn’t you half american?adeljyiur
He probably does donate money. I guess the point is that he is making CNN donate.
They have lied about him, Edited videos to the point of slander. I agree pay 5 million to the Vets.. We are all sick of the Liberal Socialist Media..
A pretty stupid move, now he either has to go back on his word, or not go to the debat, either way, is not good for him.
Good move!!
He didn’t say pay me…..he said donate to…..
Loyalty
You know Adelayda, i think he will pay money from his own and show ppl that CNN did accept his condition, so he can get more supporters, vets issues are emotional for ppl and they will be proud of him, but he shall continiue this if he really is that important for a channel who is accepting his conditions then other too shall consider his condition of charity.
