Trump Shares ‘Ridiculous’ Letter from Club for Growth Asking Him for $1 Million

Donald Trump‘s war with the conservative Club for Growth culminated yesterday in Trump releasing a letter they sent him asking for a million-dollar contribution.

For a while now, Trump and the Club for Growth have been trading barbs on Twitter. When Trump claimed he got the contribution request from them, they shot back by saying this:

Actually @realDonaldTrump asked for that mtg & then asked for races he could support. Thought he could buy us off. Worst Kind of Politician

Well, yesterday, they went to war again when Trump posted the letter they sent him asking for the contribution:

.@club4growth should release the letter they sent me asking for $1,000,000. When I said no, they came out against me. A scam operation?

.@realDonaldTrump Bluster doesn't hide the fact that your economic policies are closer to Hillary than Reagan #WorstKindOfPolitician

Trump’s feed after that basically consists of… you guessed it… retweeting lots of people praising him.
