A document from the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) indicates that Donald Trump took steps last week to outmaneuver nonprofit organizations, leaving them unable to officially campaign against him over the next few years of his Presidency. Filed on January 20th, 2017, the letter states that, while not an official announcement for reelection, Donald Trump has filed an FEC Form 2 in order to "ensure compliance with the Federal Election Campaign Act." This is an unprecedented, although legal, move for the President to make. Barack Obama did not file for his 2012 re-election bid until April 2011. Having filed (even if not formally announcing a bid) as a candidate, Trump would be able to coordinate with PACs and other similar organizations. More importantly, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations would no longer be able to engage in "political speech" which could theoretically affect the results of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election without running the risk of losing their nonprofit status. The move effectively bars interest groups from creating nonprofits which they could funnel money into for the purposes of opposing Trump's initiatives. This will likely create chaos for political opponents of Trump such as George Soros, who has sunk significant amounts of money into various nonprofit groups with the intent of opposing Trump's government. How 501(c)(3) organizations will comply with the FEC's regulations when participating an actions which qualify as political speech remains to be seen. The move is consistent with Trump's campaign promises to reduce the financial influence of private special interest groups on Washington.

I am fairely sure, that once Trump is impeached, he can't re-run for President.
I'm 100 percent certain you love illegal immigration. You're a liberal.
You are all wrong as usual.
The first sign of liberal paultard psychosis is... the whole world is wrong... and you are right. I expect you to be an open border libtard, you live with those smelly taco eating beaners. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
So, you have all the solutions about responsible behaviour for all of mankind, do ya? What are ya, Jesus Christ reborn?
Well, I'm not a traitor ex American now living with smelly ignorant 3rd world beaners. I hope Trump bans you from my republic. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Your "republic" is a HELLHOLE FASCIST NATION no longer moored on the bedrock of the US Constitution.
As opposed to the closeted queer former cops who eat sushi while jacking off watching MMA fight on Pay Per View? Your fascist tendencies are becoming even more obvious. Don't comeback, traitor bitch
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
It's not fascist to want a rapist to die... a serial killer to be shot... a kook libtard to not be allowed back in the freest and greatest nation on this planet. If you don't like that, you're free to move your drug addict loving self the Hell out of my country, too. Take Rosie and Bernie and get the fuck out, bitch
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
I can vacation in America any tyme I want. Are you going to stop me?
That would depend on you. Would you sign paperwork absolving me if any civil or criminal damage? lol I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Only President Trump would be dumb enough to think that he has those powers, he doesn't! GI doesn't "GET_IT" yet.
Trump has the authority to seal our borders to ANY group of smelly shitbags... in the name of national security. All you piece of shit libtards can suck a turd.
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Negative. We're US citizens, so piss off! We come and go as we please. Che Trump of Nuevo Yawk "IT" will never "GET_IT."
Then you will be deeply disappointed, LIBTARD, when the highest courts rule that it's within Trumps authority to seal our borders. You piece of shit libtards smell everything up. Post elsewhere, progressive scumbag I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
