In 2016 Trump received more small grassroots donations than both Democratic candidates combined in that race. Will of the People. Stapling the word "grassroots" in front of money doesn't purify it.

Constantly accusing Democrats of cartoonish corruption because they need money for campaigns -- don't believe the propaganda so generously dumped in big smelly piles, people are stepping in it.
