Trump found a new way to rip off his loyal supporters and squeeze every dollar he could from them.
This time, his website automatically checked the recurring donation checkbox, and hid its purpose in small print.
What exactly did those prechecked boxes look like?

Well, as the campaign’s finances worsened they became dizzyingly complex. Here is an example from October of the text a Trump donor would have to wade through — and uncheck — to not give multiple times.https://t.co/vu10yWJaEs pic.twitter.com/N3NdYSMYPH
Not only did this put people in financial peril, as they had no idea it was happening until they found their bank accounts emptying fast, but it was illegal to take this much from individuals. Money was later refunded, but after Election Day. In other words, the money was in Trump's account when he needed it the most, and would have been a major factor had he won the election.
Trump campaign accepted millions of dollars above the legal cap. A NYC pianist contributed more than 100 times in the months leading up to Election Day, going far past the legal limit of $2,800. She was refunded $87,716.50—three weeks after Election Day.https://t.co/ge0iWek8qN
