Great Intent But The Offer Seems Fishy

It is nice approach to pressure Trump. Nice to donate to money to vets if Trump reveals his taxes. Nice that you would contribute 5X of amount the Marine’s raises. But, something seems really odd.

  1. Whole deal is contingent on Trump not only releasing his tax return, but doing so on or before October 19th (approx. one month from now) not after and before election.
  2. Money is given to vets ONLY if Trump releases tax returns.
  3. What happens to the money if Trump does not release returns? Does Marine keep it? Nothing on Crowdpac or in your article says what happens to the money raised in such an outcome.
  4. Are you obligated or willing to contribute 5X of what is raised if Trump does not release his tax returns with no strings attached?

Do not get me wrong. Trump should release his returns (though to be candid, it is least of his problems and unlikely to occur because there is obviously no benefit for him to do so). And, it be great for voters and vets if this worked. But what if it does not?
