Did Trump Violate The Hatch Act By Asking Supporters To Donate During The State Of...
Quote:
You may have heard that Donald Trump asked his supporters to donate to his campaign to get their name listed on the lower third during the official broadcast of his first State Of The Union Address. Did you know that there is a United States law that might find the previously mentioned act to be illegal? It is called The Hatch Act but more on that in the video.
If this is grounds for impeachment, we will have to wait and find out, but it is becoming clearer and clearer that the president who wants so badly to build walls is doing nothing but tearing down walls separating government and the private sector. Now wasn’t the merger of corporate and government power the very definition of fascism?
What do you think, is this illegal, should it be, did Donald Trump violate the Hatch Act, and in doing so, is he merging his corporate power with his political power and being very literally a fascist, or am I just reaching at bundled straw?
