Trump Uses Brexit 'Shockwave' in Fundraising Pitch
By KATHERINE FAULDERS Jun 24, 2016, 5:07 PM ET
Hours after praising Britain’s vote to leave the European Union as “purely historic,” the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is fundraising off the vote.
“The voters stood up for their nation – they put the United Kingdom first, and they took their country back,” Trump wrote in an email to supporters praising the United Kingdom referendum vote, dubbed “Brexit.” “Let’s send another shockwave around the world. Let’s take back our country from the corrupt career politicians and put Americans first. Let’s re-declare our independence.”
Trump sent his first fundraising email on Tuesday and told ABC’s Tom Llamas today in Scotland that he doesn’t like asking supporters for money.
“I don’t like doing it. I don’t like doing it Tom. I’m an honest politician, probably one of the few,” Trump said today. “I’m raising money for the Republican Party, something I have never done. I have always contributed money to lots of people. A lot of campaign contributions over the years.”
