Trump tells NH1 News he didn't seek to pay to play with Clinton Foundation donation

It is beyond hypocritical.

Trump spoke with NH1 News on Thursday, minutes before he held a rally at the Radisson Hotel in Manchester. During the event, Trump once again took aim at the Clinton Foundation, saying that major donors got special access with Clinton during her years as America’s top diplomate.


Earlier, asked by NH1 News if he was seeking to pay for play when he made a major donation to the foundation, Trump answered “not at all but I will say this. Anything that you do when you donate to that foundation, they do whatever you want them to do and I think it’s disgraceful.”

And if I hadn’t made that contribution, they probably wouldn’t have liked me at all,” Trump added.........................
