Trump Challenges CNN’s Jeff Zucker To Donate GOP Debate
Profits to Veterans
by John Nolte 9 Sep 2015
Wednesday morning, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump challenged
left-wing cable news network CNN to donate the profits from next
week’s GOP presidential
debate to veterans groups. Trump
publicly released the letter (addressed to CNN chief Jeff Zucker) via his Twitter account and takes
credit for what is sure to be a rare ratings-bonanza for the ratings-troubled
network.
“[Y]our ad rates have gone from $5,000 to $200,000, or a
4,000% increase,” Trump writes. “I’m self funding my campaign — I do not want
money from lobbyists, donors, or special interest groups. Likewise, you should
view the second debate broadcast as a public service and not accept the massive
profits that this airing will generate. I believe that all profits from this
broadcast should go to various VETERANS groups.”
Trump said he would eventually provide a list of these
groups.
This is a brilliant no-lose play on Trump’s part. If CNN
gives in, the move will generate a ton of good publicity for Trump.
If CNN refuses, Trump has a club to forever beat the
left-wing network over the head with. For the rest of the campaign, he’ll be
able to pivot away from any left-wing attack CNN launches against him into a
counter-attack about the network’s greed and snubbing of American veterans.
Laugh away at the “grandstanding,” Trump haters, but the
man’s playing chess with the media, not checkers.
This is a masterstroke.
