Donald Trump Campaign Offered Actors $50 to Cheer for Him at Presidential Announcementby Aaron Couch, Emmet McDermott at the Hollywood Reporter

"SNIP..............
Donald Trump's big presidential announcement Tuesday was made a little bigger with help from paid actors at $50 a pop.
New York-based Extra Mile Casting sent an email last Friday to its client list of background actors, seeking extras to beef up attendance at Trump's event.
"We are looking to cast people for the event to wear t-shirts and carry signs and help cheer him in support of his announcement," reads the June 12 email, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter. "We understand this is not a traditional 'background job,' but we believe acting comes in all forms and this is inclusive of that school of thought." (Read the full email at the bottom of the post.)

They SO did that on purpose! I wonder why he deleted the account... did Trump threaten to sue him?

(40,416 posts)After all, they only held up signs... And the Donald has to keep his profits up.
Plus, that rabid squirrel that lives on his head needs food. Acorns don't come cheap these days.

(44,576 posts)But I do have to say one thing in his defense: He said he had nine billion dollars in assets while media reports are placing his net worth at more likely half that. He didn't necessarily lie since your net worth is the difference between what you have and what you owe.
