Trump makes sweeping promises to donors on audacious fundraising tour
wapo.st
By tying donation requests to pledges of tax cuts and other policies, Trump is testing the boundaries of federal campaign finance laws.

It’s called soliciting bribes. And really really damaging to have our government run in this kind of transactional impact.

    Testing the boundaries?! No, he is blatantly violating corruption laws. He is asking for a quid pro quo, you do this for me and I’ll do that for you.

    John Roberts, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the USA defined corruption as “a contribution to a particular candidate in exchange for his agreeing to do a particular act within his official duties.”
