I hate the trump adds on DU!

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by JudyM (a host of the Editorials & Other Articles group).

I hope DU is making a fortune on the tRump adds that are on DU. They make me want to vomit. DU is slowly being infested by the corona tRump virus. It’s a socially transmitted disease. I will start wearing a condom over my glasses to prevent it’s transmission. Be safe my friends on DU! Wooot!

I would gladly become a star member yet I am concerned that we still are infecting those who cannot aford to be a star. We are all in this together!

I can’t listen to his voice or look at his face. But I don’t mind costing his campaign money. I can do housework for a minute

You and me BP, we’ll bring him to his knees

his DC Hotel restaurant knowing that I was taking a table away from GOP, Russian or Saudi dinner guests. The thing is, I kept checking the reservation availability for about two months and it barely changed until the weekend of the big day. No one wanted to go there even though it got fairly good reviews.

I know it was no big deal but it made me feel better besides protesting and writing letters.

Some companies charge per click, but some charge a set price.

I asked the administrator, because I was thinking of advertising here when I had money, but they've never answered any of my questions.

Does anyone here know?

It is laughable that tRump would waste his donors money where it would result in a zero return on investment. I am sure his business is being operated in the same fashion.

If DU gets enough contributions from members we won't have two sell ads.
