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 letterĀ 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.

If he quit campaigning now he will still win! Sure doesn’t need the money!
Donald$#%&!@*is a Racist Nazi
Gee, Your comment shows your ignorance when you know he is a billionaire and 5 mil is a drop in the bucket.
Get it right!! The money goes to a Vets group not to Trump.
he will give to veterans or charities. good idea.
Love how the title makes it seem super negative. But in reality CNN has been super horrible to him. I have seen it. Its pathetic. What happened to impartial reporting? We don’t care about your opinions CNN just report the news. And I’m pretty sure any company should jump at the challenge to donate money. Especially to the wounded warrior project. At minimum it’s good press. You would think CNN would understand that…
Hahaha he is the man !
Whomever he would donate it to trump shouldn’t be extorting networks for money even for veterans. Trumps biggest problem is convincing people he’s not that left winger he always was not trying to get liberals to support our vets
GO TRUMP!
Why in the hell does the stupid media
