Maybe desperate needs spawn desperate measures but can you even begin to imagine the screening process of calls that DO come in? And I mean screening out the kooks and finding people actually even remotely qualified. And how many of those who meet criteria would throw a monetary component into the mix.

I almost wonder if it isn't just some sort of socio/psychological experiment being conducted by some PhD candidate. Seeing how many responses they'd get to a charitable plea from a trump* supporter.

Actually, that would be a pretty good study.
