Donald Trump released a statement on Saturday attempting damage control after being caught fundraising off of a phony contest.
"Former president Donald Trump’s political group sent at least 15 emails in recent weeks offering small-dollar donors the chance to win a coveted prize if they gave money: dinner with Trump in New Orleans last Saturday," The Washington Post reported Friday. "But no such winner was flown to New Orleans last weekend, according to four people familiar with the matter. No flight or “very nice” hotel was booked. Trump had no individual meeting with a small-dollar donor, instead only privately greeting a handful of Republican Party donors who gave large checks, taking pictures with some of the party’s most well-heeled members and speaking to a larger group of donors who each gave tens of thousands of dollars."
Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich admitted that no prize was every awarded.

I guess they never had the tickets or the box full of tickets at the event so that he could put his stubby little hand in and draw out the winning ticket.....like a bingo card number.....and they were going to bring them to Florida to have eat and greet......
